Needs some drivers but it's working now under windows and gets some pretty good compression ratios. Check out their disk space vr. codec table at http://www.atitech.com/ca_us/faq/aiwfaq.html
The hardware is there right now. No special hard drives. I have it running under win98 on a celeron 300a oced to 464Mhz / 64MB SDRAM with a 6GB hard drive. Ok granted I can only record a little over 2 hours with the 3GB I have free on there but I can always buy a bigger hard drive when they get cheaper;)
Highest spec is MPEG-2 with MPEG layer 2 audio 640x480, IBP frames at 25MB / min or 40.26 min per GB. This DOES want a Pentium III - 500 but those should be getting a lot cheaper now that AMD is releasing the K7.
It's also nice to be able to watch TV in a window or as your desktop as well. Now someone just has to lean on them to release the spec so someone can write some open source software to interface with this beast.
