Hauppauge HD PVR This is a great card. . . Working directly from the box, no need to update your computer unless you have one of the newer, not one from 5 years ago because all the coding is already done by the product, our computers. The decline of this card is that it only component connections; limit therefore, the quality of the recorded footage. play Pros: Works straight from the box-Doesn ‘t need an extremely powerful computer / Works for PC and Mac capability for Xbox 360 without turning on the computer (not 100% sure, but it looks like it has since the HD PVR its own power supply) Cons: No support component cable or future support for 1080p/Resolutions is only up to 1080i Black Magic Intensity Pro, the second-best solution, I think this card is better than the HD PVR for many reasons first is that it is a HDMI-HDMI card and is better than component. I know people will say, for youtube, there are no / little difference in quality between these cards, but in reality it is better. Component cables are designed to help what it maxed in a position, but HDMI is still expanding. The decline of this card is an internal card is only for desktop computers, laptops used NO. Works with both Mac and PC. You need to do to have this program and your computer is running, see images on your TV, but this can be fixed by purchasing a HDMI splitter. Pros: HDMI input / output support for 1080p, extra note, see below Cons in capability, as well as uncompressed recording. . .
