How is this capture compared to the Elgato?

As said by some others on here, this will record in HD, but not with HDMI. Plus the software with it isn't in a friendly video format. Elgato does everything this does, with less cords, and better. Plus this is easy to use on Twitch.tv.

Dont know to be honest. But the elgato records up to 1080p through hdmi, the avermedia takes only component and rca, so quality is limited. I would go for te elgato if it was available when i bought the avermedia

I dont know this Elgato, but I did like the Aver Media. In my opinion it captures HD videos perfectly.

I don't know as I haven't compared the two. I can tell you that this one was very easy to install. It works flawlessly and the quality of the captures is at least 720p. It is also VERY easy to use. The dude below isn't really correct. You can record 1080p through HDMI but you cannot output it with HDMI through tv. Component cables are what you need. I went with this one for the price and I couldn't be happier. I might even attempt cutting cable and using this for over the air. Edit: Avermedia does capture 1080i with HDMI but you won't be to output it. This is true of all pvr.

We could not get this to work with Time Warner Cable -- their techs spent over 4 hours at our home trying to get the digital local channels to record, eventually blaming it on our private wireless network router config (bullcrap) so we returned it. Sorry! (but if you have TWC, good luck!)

I am not familiar with the Elgato, but this box doesn't play nicely with other software. It has been many months since I worked with it, but we never got it to work with our capture software. I bought it because I really liked the PCIe cards that I bought from AVerMedia

C874 does 720p Beautiful, and the picture is clear at high bit rates. about 50 dollars less, up to you. if you need HDMI and 1080p go with Elgato, if not C874 is perfect.

If you prefer an HDMI connection, go with the Elgato, the AverMedias capture quality is phenomenal, but the Elgato might put out a clearer display while the AverMedia might capture a dark appearance to the video. The Elgato will allow raw capture while the AverMedia might perform some sort of scaling on it due to component and composite restrictions. The Elgatos HDMI capabilities can allow much better input and quality to pass through. All in all, the Elgato will capture better quality but might not be completely significant.

I never used an Elgato before. I highly recommend this product because I got HD/HQ quality for the results and the best part is that there's no lagging from my experience. Here's the results of the product. Bear in mind that the capture footage is from a VCR game show.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McHIMP71gAM&feature;=share&list;=PLR20ESNj6kmuIHD40xPVAGWnWSJ4NkzyS

No, they're not. And even if they were, I wouldn't recommend this product. A good substitute I've found to work is called the Elgato Video Gaming Capture device, that can do HD, Component or Composite.

I would say it is more a function of the speed of your computer, and ElGato warns that highest quality HD capture and recording requires a fast computer. I have a 2012 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac Pro and I've not experienced any freezes or lockups.

Jose answered the first question correctly. As far as the second goes I didn't notice any degradation in the video quality. I'm sure there might be an extremely slight bit but it wasn't enough for my untrained unprofessional eye to notice.

I didn't have to I have a 24 inch Vizo and it worked fine but I left it in the computer for about 30 min and then tried to use it and it never worked again I would save your money up for a Elgato it gives better quality but it is quiet expensive

I had to double check what elgato was, to make sure I was answering your question properly. I don't see why elgato wouldn't run on the machine. It boasts specs significantly above what is needed, and from my experience, it lives up to its specs. In short, you can run elgato on this machine with no problems.

They both do the same but you have to go real slow with the camera because you can move fast and when you playback you get dizzy trying to watch it. As for the difference between each is just one has more capacity than the other

I took a leap of faith and purchased it for my laptop running Windows 8.1. It seems to work fine so far. The toughest part was finding a good video capture program for Windows 8. Windows Movie Maker 2012 gets the audio out of sync with the video. I was worried it was the ExpressCard doing it, but I tried another freeware capture program and it was fine.

The video is recorded on an micro-sd card. You can then import that to your computer after your flight. The quality is not great, but what do you expect? It is actually better than I expected. You can even very faintly hear audio in the recording. If you flip the copter, and the blades hit the ground, the copter turns off. This is good as it helps to prevent damage to the copter, but if you were recording at the time, then the recording is lost. You have to turn on the recording before hand and then turn it back off for the files to be closed properly and for them to be usable.

During playback, yes It's a soft botton on the screen. During recording, you simply yse the stop/start recording

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.

Product has two tuners, one is analog and the other digital. They both produce clear, crisp pictures although the digital, of course, is considerably better. Our recorder is connected to cable with a limited number of digital channels. Our recordings have been quite good, near the quality of the live broadcast; of course the speed you choose for recording has a lot to do with it, too. The 500 GB model provides considerable space for a lot of recordings, and since I have several programs that are recorded daily or weekly, I appreciate the ability to just select them to not record rather than having to delete it from the que. The one problem we've experienced twice thus far is that it recorded a channel other than the one that was programmed. We're also having an issue with the sound. While it's in the midst of recording, we wanted to watch a previously recorded program. We got the picture but no sound, and there was no sound coming from the program that it was recording. Still working on resolving it. The recorder has a lot of capabilities that I haven't even attempted yet. Overall we're quite satisfied with it.

Go to the TiVo.com website and see if they list the differences. One may record more hours

There is a slight delay, maybe 1 second at most. I don't use it this way. I only capture footage from my DVR, and I have it connected with a 1x2 HDMI switch box where only 1 signal is active at the same time, which mean that when I'm capturing footage, only the PC receives a signal. You could hook up a 1x2 HDMI splitter which is active on all feeds at the same time, but I've found that those can be kind of unreliable and they are much more than I need for my particular setup.

The Elgato converter works GREAT! Costs about $79.00. There are other brands but this onereally works extremely well and the app that comes with it is very easy to use. You can't gowrong.

This is not a Capture Card. It's a simple Video Card to play games or graphic design with it. It's shoud work, on Windows XP work fine. Since it's older model must have driver compatible with early O.S. Regards

Absolutely! It's been my experience that if you can see it on your monitor, you can capture it!
