I'm looking to record video feed via component cables, and so far I've found Pinnacle's Dazzle. I was wondering what your experiences were with the Dazzle, or other component capture devices. All recommendations/responses appreciated. Thank you :)

PS - I noticed the Dazzle doesn't come with any editing software, so any devices recommended that DO come with editing software are Greatly appreciated :p
 
You may have to research my next idea a bit more for your application, but the Hauppauge HD-PVR is the most proven capture device for high-resolution content via component inputs. Most other devices have turned out to be very buggy (pinnacle products in general), ultra expensive, or were only able to capture standard-resolution content. Most of the time the free bundled software is crap, but the hauppauge's software may be decent, not sure though.

Here's a price list: http://www.google.com/products/cata...n&cid=7410732598212715013&sa=button#scoring=p

Here's some owner forum threads:

Or you can try a forum specific search for the hauppauge hd-pvr in our htpc forum for more info. You can also do a forum wide search at the avsforums i linked above, you may find more HD-PVR info in their other subforums such as the camcorder forum etc etc.

Good luck either way.
