Actually, I think it just outputs the interlaced recording without
change (because NTSC and PAL are interlaced). The video card can't
generally do this because of a plethora of scaling/refresh/mode issues.
(That being said, when properly configured, NVIDIA TV out on a good
NVIDIA-based card can look really good and doesn't have to be
expensive. I paid less than $40 for my Chaintech GF4MX440 and it has
very good TV out.)
