Cons: Drivers and included application can be buggy on some systems. Need fast machine due to software encoding. No HDMI passthrough. A TBC is a must with analog capture from VCR sources, card is extremely sensitive to weak/unstable video sources. AVermedia HD DVR USB Pros: External, good for laptops. Built-in MPEG encoder. Component pass through Cons: No HDMI input. No uncompressed capture or DirectShow support. Hauppauge HD PVR USB Pros: External, good for laptops. Built-in MPEG encoder. Component pass through.

DirectShow capture support. Cons: Poor customer support and buggy drivers. Black Magic Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 Pros: 1080p capture support. HDMI and analog pass through. Cons: Impossible to get working correctly. Requires Core i7 machine with x58 chipset and specific USB 3.0 card. Buggy and broken drivers with poor customer support. Coming Soon: Hauppauge Colossus HD-PVR PCIe Hauppauge's answer to the AVer HD DVR PCIe and Intensity Pro. Supports HDMI in and digital audio I/O. Component pass through. Built in MPEG encoder. Chances are it won't support DirectShow capture though. from: http://www.shspvr.com/smf/index.php?topic=12325.0 |
You don't want a Hauppauge HD PVR USB. The WinTV software is awful.
I'd give up watching TV if I had to use that. |

The Elgato cards are pretty nice -- but Mac only.
I've heard good things, seen great results. If funds allow, may get one for myself next year, for the new Mac mini. |
