The card sports only a single DVI output, but you can drive a secondary display via the composite or S-Video outputs. Outside of attaching the video and audio cables from your stereo, VCR, TV and so on to the All-in-Wonder Radeon DV's breakout cable, physical installation is the same as it is with any other graphics card.
The brief, multilingual manual is helpful to a point; it covers installation and cable layout but lacks a better-than-basic troubleshooting section. Software installation is the standard couple-of-clicks-and-reboot affair. ATI recommends that you remove any previous graphics drivers and revert to Windows' standard VGA driver before installing the card.
Based on our past experiences with the company's cards, we recommend the same. Our performance-test system refused to boot with the DV port enabled. In the Quake III competition, the All-in-Wonder DV posted a high frames per second fps at a resolution of 1,x with bit color and an acceptable Both MadOnion.
But you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference with the naked eye. Performance is but a small part of the Radeon All-in-Wonder DV picture; it really shines in its extras and software.
A nice treat is the Guide Plus software, which lets you select and record programming via an online TV guide think cable-preview channel. We love all the capabilities of the software, but accessing each function from a launch bar is not as simple as using the fully integrated functions of a standalone TiVo player. The onboard tuner is slightly more prone to signal disturbance than is the tuner that comes with Nvidia's Personal Cinema; this is in an external breakout box.
However, time-shifted and captured-video performance is excellent, and you may set the video quality anywhere from modem-friendly x, 30KB-per-second video to full x, 8MB-per-second MPEG The card is backed by a three-year limited warranty. The company's Web site offers troubleshooting FAQs, a knowledge base, driver updates, and e-mail support. Telephone support is available Monday through Friday, 9 a.

The cards not only worked, they worked well! The cards originally shipped with ATI MMC version 7, which was decent but lacked some of the features that really made these cards work well. ATI MMC 8 brought more recording features, including the well-liked "VideoSoap" option that allowed for filtering of the video -- restoration of cleanup.
Even into , the AMD ATI site was largely full of broken links and missing information -- some of which appears to have been restored after a multi-year absence. There was also more emphasis on MPEG-4 recording, even though it made for a horrible capture format. You'll note that this All-In-Wonder card list does not match the list at Wikipedia. I firmly believe there are mistakes on that list, even when sources are given.
My information is based on a decade of accumulated research and first-hand experience. Beyond that, my list closely matches the official "by chipset" list from AMD's December site.
