Does this do hardware based, real-time x264 encoding, or does it "capture" a (giant, raw) video file, then use software to "encode" it?

I believe that the software will check and complain but it will still work. You'll get a list that will show the features that will not work using the slower speed. I think you might lose some higher end HD recording features. You'll also see noticeable lag during playback. You'll probably be able to record in 720p, but not 100% sure.

This DOES have the software for video capture, provided you have the necessary hardware/video card. If you're not sure, ask at a computer store (e.g. Best Buy). If this is too complicated (it was for me), invest in a set-top DVD burner. You can then finalize that DVD, then insert it into your computer's DVD-ROM drive to read the video file (your movie). You can then use VideoStudio to edit your final touches and burn a permanent DVD from there (and make copies for the family as well).

I'm unsure about that the program the iteck comes with does not work you'll need a separate video capture software

I was able to to record 720p on a 2GB Kingston non SDHC card which was a surprise. It played back fine too. I ened up getting the 16GB Adata for ~$30. So far so good.

Yes, the software will give you an option for a destination for the captured videos. Just make sure that the drive is hooked up when you run the software and select that drive as a destination. Depending on the speed of the connection (USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt), it may take from a little to a lot longer than to do it to your local HD. If that turns out to be very slow, and you want to do a lot of converting at one time, another option is just to save one video to your Mac's drive, and then move it to the external HD while you're converting the next movie.

Hi&#65292;it could realize recording without hard driver&#65292;it can not storage and playback video without hard driver. Thanks&#65281;

>>One thing I've found is that you need a >>"Video Enhancer" to attach to your unit.No you don't. I was able to dub commercially-released video tapes to DVD using this unit and no other hardware.

You still need a video capture device and software. This is only meant to "stabilize" the video from flaws like macrovision. ;)

No. It is not a video encoder or storage device. The device uses the lower drives to simultaneously burn duplicate copies of the disc inserted into the topmost drive, which it does it very well I might add.

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

Doubtful, software drivers are limited (doubt hardware would show up in browsers or app) and box only designed to capture rather than stream. Check out same manufacturers converters (HDMI/SDI etc). Might work better.

7.0 is Exynos.Exynos are very good at decoding, so you don't need to change file in to like .mp4

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.

anyone care to elaborate on the codec differences in gritty detail? H.264 and AVCHD Lite are both relatively knew. It would appear the Lumix can capture comparable PQ at a lower bit rate (-3 to 4mbps) but anyone have any real world results of what this translates to in terms of file size difference on a given clip?

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

Yes, all it does is carry the protocol. So some video can't be recorded. This device doesn't filter that out
