The picture is stable and crystal clear, and there is a noticeable difference in quality between DVD's and a regular VHS tapes. Note, however, that only the video runs out of the back of the computer. If you want sound to come out of your television as well, you will have to run sound out of the back of your sound card. The hardware requirements for the Xentor 32 are typical. You'll need at least a Pentium II with 16 MB of Ram, and 10 MB of disk space for the drivers and application programs.
Installation takes only a few minutes and it is relatively painless.
Please remember to uninstall your old video card before you plug in the new one, though. For instance, my stock Compaq DVD player doesn't allow you to alter rate at which the DVD searches the disk when you hit the fast-forward or rewind button. The Xing player does. The Xing player lets you size the screen just like a regular window, so you can make it as small or as large as you want. As counter-productive as this may appear, it made word processing much more interesting than it has ever been.
