I have had a love/hate relationship with my Hauppauge HD PVR for years due to a combination of bad drivers and the included ArcSoft software for capturing. I just bought a Colossus for my other system and had to deal with that ShowBiz software. The TotalMedia Extreme recorder for the HD PVR is better than the ShowBiz recorder but both aren't totally stable all the time.
Capture4ME is awesome! It's very lightweight and fast for me. I highly recommend it to all Hauppauge HD PVR and Colossus users. You have to have the ArcSoft codecs installed for it to work though. The video preview and capture won't work without them. I tried using the LAV filter for the H.264 decoder and the preview window wouldn't work.
$20 is well worth the price for a license! You can try it out and the recordings are limited to 2 minutes during trial which should be enough to see if it's going to work well for you.
Go get it! |
