Good Video Card with DVI for Export to HDTV?
Does anyone have a recommendation for a video card to export captured HDV out on DVI to an HDTV? Does such a thing exist that also has SPDIF or is a separate sound card needed?

As a general recommendation, one of the NVidia-based cards that support Purevideo hardware mpeg decoding would be worth considering: my 6600GT provides a BIG reduction in the demands on the processor to decode HDV footage.
List of cards here: http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html Not sure which if any have DVI however - many on that list just have a component RCA breakout connector. You may not need a separate soundcard - many new motherboards now come with SPDIF output on-board. |

I did try to download their NVidia PureVideo Decoder software. However, after doing the whole process, the activation code they provided was invalid and there seems no way to actually contact a Human to deal with it. Not an experience I haven't had before. |
I don't think ANY TVs accept a HDV transport stream over firewire - do they?
If you want to minimise cost, I think you'll find the cheapest HDV-capable cards will have component out rather than DVI out ... you can get a 6600GT for around $100 if you hunt around a bit. |

There are some HDTVs that have FireWire. I just saw a discussion about a Mitsubishi with FireWire and component. It couldn't handle 1080i over FireWire and had to be connected to a Z1 with component. |
