Isn't the capture device I have now a hardware MPEG2 encoder?

Here are some simple hints how to check.

--Did you pay less than $500?

--Is it capable of capturing file types such as MPEG4 or AVI?

--Does in require a minimum 500Mhz+ CPU?

--Does it come with Ligos or other MPEG conversion software?

--Is it ADS, ATI, Dazzle, Snazzi, or Pinnacle (consumer line) ?

If you answered yes to any of the above, the capture device you have is, most likely, not a hardware encoder but uses your system's CPU to do the encoding.
