For the software, whichever works best for your capture device and provides captures with no frame drops, with audio in sync, etc.

1. What is the difference between Amarec tv and Virtualdub?
|
AmarecTV's interface is godawful, in my opinion. I like
VirtualDub's interface, but I can't see it with fresh eyes since I've been using it for 20 years. Under the hood, they both use DirectShow/Windows APIs to grab video and audio from capture devices and place them into files on a storage medium. But there are a lot of little intricacies when it comes to exact device support/usage.

2. What is the difference between HUFFYUV and Lagarith?
|
Lagarith is newer, provides a higher compression ratio, and I believe tends to decode faster with multi-core processors than the classic
Huffyuv. Huffyuv has much lower system requirements and is much less likely to be the cause of a dropped frame.
Personally, I prefer Ut Video Codec and MagicYUV in modern times. Huffyuv and myself had a loving decade-long relationship starting in 2002, but times have changed.
