IMHO, Digivue isn't worth the money. Just returned their DVR card for an upgrade. Get this... My system is Athlon 64 3400+, 2 gig Ram, Radeon ATI 256meg AGP, with separate 120 gig and 70 gig HD. Built it myself, should be good for most applications, right?
I install the EDV-XV425 DIGIVUE PCI 4 channel in my last remaining PCI slot, fire it up and .... nada. I check all the gizmos and gadgets and decide it's time to call them up. Ok, here's the punchline... In their exact words....Oh, it's your video card...you need to downgrade to a 32 meg video card to make it work... Seems the "Software Engineers" put little to no effort in their attempt to create some sort of working program for this card...and forget about trying any other software with this card. The onboard chip is the xview?.... won't find a thing out there that is compatible...no other drivers that I've found will support this chip.
So's I pulls out the Digivue, packs it back up and takes it back to the store with my personal recommendation that the remove all Digivue products from their shelves.
So, my personal recommendation is stay as far away as possible from Digivue. If you want to stick with the inexpensive/reliable products, you may try out the Swann PC DVR 4 card. I snatched it up for about $90 US and it works like a champ. Only thing I'm not too impressed with about this one is the single audio input is connected via your mic input. Other than that, the software is reliable and it has all the wizbangs any other entry level card will have for a fair price.
