Thing is I dont want to spend 500$, i have hdmi capture card but without hardware h264 encoder. I can record to huffyuv and then encode to h264 using MediaCoder but i would like to record directly to h264.

directly into x264 [H.264] I know nothing
in ancient times was that with the MainConcept References

I also have a card with HDMI in and out
plus SDI in and out
Blackmagic Studio 2
and
Matrox MXO2 LE is

I save my movies on TV
not from in x264.
Only these films must be cut to remove, by filling pixels and Teletext entries.

end result

addendum -- Whether directly dips into the free x264 vfwx264 I do not know. See image in VDub

Unlike the MPEG era, there's no way to capture H.264 in software. And even in the MPEG days, software capture was terrible. You needed hardware encoding, or hybrid hardware encoding (ie, ATI AIW).

HDMI input is not cheap in resources, or in price.

Most use some sort of Hauppauge card to capture HDTV. I'm not sure of the input, however. I doubt the lower-cost cards have HDMI input.

I think U are not right, using AmaRecTV i partly done it. I dont have audio in my file but video is captured.
