Hi Folks,
For a little over 2 years I was using a Matrox Marvel G200, and I was very happy with it. My biggest concern was video editing, and it really fit the bill.
Well, somehow I managed to short out the card and it's no longer working. My question is, should I seek to replace it with another G200, knowing that I'll be happy with it, or are the G400 and G450 equally safe bets? I can't seem to find the G200 for much less than the other two, so cost isn't really an issue. My biggest concern is whether the product line somehow got worse (it happens), and, although it's not crucial, I'd like to be able to utilize some mjpeg videos that were compressed by my now-defunct card. I'm also open to suggestions of any other sub-$300 cards that would meet my needs (in short, capturing analog video at full-quality and editing it with Adobe Premiere). Thanks for your input.
