Does anyone know of a device that would match that criteria? I'd like to record video from various video game consoles to a device, then transfer those files to my desktop for editing. I'm open to any suggestions if you know of a good device, or setup in general. If it comes down to it I could probably setup a linux box for video capture as well, but im hoping to do it all in one simple device.

This card, plus a mac workstation would get you there:

Honestly, once it's come down another $1000 and supported on linux, I'm buying one. I just pray we can hold on to analog HD outputs on equipment long enough for it to remain useful.
It *might* be possible to use this:

with something like this:

Total price is now under $2k, assuming you already have a mac and appropriate software to work with it.
Very interesting... it's been quite a while since I've looked for this mythical device.

Why would you need a Mac when there are plenty of PC component capture cards out there that do an even better job? There's Avid, Matrox, Black Magic, Canopus, etc. In his case, it would be much easier to do a HD capture card solution.

Actually, this might be more of what you are interested in, and might be the best solution for how you want to go about doing it.

You can capture high def straight to the hard drive in your preferred format, then transfer the footage digitally via Firewire to your editor. No capture card required.
But if you are considering Linux for HD video, that is probably one of the hardest things to setup if you could even get it working right with the different codecs and drivers. The best HD editing solutions right now are for the PC, and Mac is a very close second. Canopus EDIUS is the most compatible HD editing solution with all the various high def video formats, and the ProCoder plugin makes it that much easier if you have an unsupported odd format.
