Upgrade from G400-TV to G450-eTV?

[AndrewDV]

Hi,

Now that the G450-eTV is out, I was hoping to get some input. Is there are any reasons for a G400-TV owner to upgrade to the G450-eTV?

Capture and tuner is not an issue. What I am really interested in is the TV-out for playback of DVDs, AVIs, and all sorts of files.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

I'd like to know the same thing - anyone?

400TV = HW MPEG2 codec
450eTV = SW MPEG2 codec

Maybe you mean downgrade. Just MHO

Not MPEG, but MJPEG. :-)

Seriously, I am interested in whether or not the TV Output is better than the G400-TV. The specific files would be MPEG and AVI (PIC MJPEG). A nicer DVD playback would be cool as well.

Thanks
