If it helps, the PDI Deluxe is called the SweetSpot in Europe.
Thanks for the link!
I investigated further, and discovered that:
- it has old chipset(s) - my card has newer
- the comb filter is not 3D - like my card
- it's "only" 9-bit ADC - like my card
- it seems that it works only with AGP graphic cards - I have PCI-E
- its price is too high!
So, I think I will delete it from my wishlist, because I don't want to spend 200€ for a capture card that is basically like mine, if not worse... at the same price, I think the newer Blackmagic Intensity will be better; for a lot less, the HD 750 based cards will be equally good, if not superior thanks to features like 12bit ADC and 3D comb filter...
AJA and Viewcast are on another planet, and I think they will not be so far from the other cards when used to capture "simple" laserdisc video signal... so, I'll leave it out of the competition - just because they are not worth their price for what I intend to use a capture card, not for their quality that I think is really high!
