Yes it will, if you get the right tuner card. It would probably be one that is integrated with a video card. You can get HD quality.

Ahh ok I didn't see PCI-E, I don't even know what that is. Basically I'm using an all-in-wonder regular PCI card, and have zero complaints

They're cheap as **** too.

Re: VHS to DVD recorder

video card w/ built in tuners are a waste of money. if u want to upgrade one, you've got to get both = stupid.

http://search.ncix.com/displayproduc...cture=SAPPHIRE

or

http://search.ncix.com/displayproduc...ture=HAUPPAUGE

the two best standard definition tuners out there right now.

the reason older ones from ATI AIW suck is they do not process the audio internally and that can lead to sync problems. the 550pro hardware encodes audio and video before sending it into the pC (the hauppauge one does too i think)
