Not sure what you application is, but capturing uncompressed is pretty
radical.  Real time capture in various formats like mpeg1 uses no more
than 25% of an Athlon900.  NVrec captures in a jpeg-style format which is
much lighter still on the cpu.

Don't know of one, and do agree about Broadcast2000...
