The only converters that work fairly well and would give any kind of quality worth
looking at, are ones that cost more than your computer (known as Prosumer or professional
units). Reason being, computer graphics and TV specs were not even close and it
is a chore to convert correctly. Can't say for sure if the card is bad or if they
just don't support HW accel in all resolutions and bit depths. Don't work with Jetway
cards anymore. The only place I see them sold is cut-rate computer shops and online.
They aren't even sold around here. Would be cheaper buying a new video card with
TV out than buying a decent converter to do the same thing IME..
ATI makes their own video cards as well as NVidia. Overall, I like NVidia a little
better than ATI, although I have both in my machines. Both have decent TV out here
in the USA, not sure what would be available in your area.. All the ATI and NVidia
cards in my systems work with hardware accel even in Win 98 but this is on older
hardware. Your newer hardware could present problems in Win 98.
