TV Tuner cards/Capture ... any chance this is Mac compatible? - Jimmypoo - 08-21-2006

Just wondering.
It's items like these that always keep me just every so slightly interested in
keeping a peecee box around.
Another great question would be.... if you stuffed this into a Mac Pro tower,
and booted into WinDuds.... would it work then???

if you run Windows on a Mac Pro tower, you're running Windows.
Can you think of any reason why it wouldn't work? Of course not. It's just a windows box at that point.

And in a G4/G5?
(The question encompassed all --- the addendum to the inquiry, oh Great Communicator, Elmo, was the Mac Pro question).

Well, it doesn't have PCI slots. That makes "stuffing it in" a bit more difficult.
There have been projects out there to get this kind of thing working but they're far from finished or reliable.

I repeat:
if you run Windows on a Mac Pro tower, you're running Windows.
Can you think of any reason why it wouldn't work? Of course not. It's just a windows box at that point.
Why you would even question whether this would run in a Windows box is beyond me.
People, understand--once you boot into Windows, you are running a Windows box. Period.
Does it run on Macintosh? That is, does it run on the Mac OS? A quick trip to kworld.com says....what? I'll leave it to the reader to find out.

kworld.com is a KPMG site. What do a bunch of accountants know about this card?

Accountants know about everything.

Nope, none, zero chance of Mac compatibility.
