[QUOTE="yeahman, post: 183251, member: 216002"] [SIZE=2]:) Fair call mate - you're right I'm dreaming.........:) Thanks for all the replies, I guess I was a little ambitous about the specs i'm looking for. Thanks for clearing up the mpeg4 issue, I'll just upgrade the computer to dual core and let it sort out the recording side of that. As for the skystar1 I've been reading - but it's confusing as there're many flavours and I can't really see why it's better than the cheaper ss2, and it appears more software cams are supported with this one.. It appears not all ss1 cards have mpeg2 processing onboard as with this one.
