I came across this H.264 recorder from BlackMagicDesign, which I think I can use for capturing movies from Satellite box (standard definition via S-Video) and then edit out commercials later.

How good is it?
My current method of capturing via Canopus ADVC-110, editing, encoding to DVD is taking too much of time.
I beleive this BMD device does encoding in hardware while capturing. Are there any limitations it might pose? I plan to watch final H.264 movies using a media player connected to the TV. Not much on mobile devices.

I read somewhere that this product only works on a Mac??? In that case it is useless to me because I use Windows.
