Avertv HD DVR High Definition / Analog Video Capture Card PCIe MTVHDDVRR Reviews :
Review 1 :
I purchased this capture card mainly so I could record from my XBOX onto my computer. My old card was no longer compatible with Windows 7 because it's a terrible piece of junk. I bought this one so I could keep up with my recording and test out a few things.
I liked the quality and performance of this card so much that I now have my XBOX permanently hooked into my PC so I can record anytime I want. I just play off my PC through the AVERTMEDIA software. It is crystal clear, smooth - and there is no noticeable lag at all while playing (even while recording.)
Some people said they use VHCapture to do a majority of their capturing from this device. The software it comes with is really great, records in HD and I don't see why you would need to use VHCapture - I suppose there may be advantages to the VHCapture but I'm really not sure what they are - I'm still fairly new to this.
If anyone has anything to add please feel free to comment.
Review 2 :
I blew up the firewire port in my HD (tape/cassette based) camcorder when I connected it to my PC's firewire port. I built the PC myself; but in the PC casing that I bought, the front firewire port had its power and data pins swapped and swapping 12V with lower voltage data lines is not fun! Needless to say, I was extremely disappointed that Sony did not have over-voltage protection (esp since I discovered from the web that I am not the first guy to encounter this problem) and the casing manufacturer (rather the guy who assembled the case) screwed up. That happened more than a year ago.
I started my search for a good HDMI (1080i was what my camera supported) based capture card. Although I found AVerTV CaptureHD several months ago, I was hesitant to give it a try because of some issues that people reported in some forums. After waiting to see if anything better comes up, I decided to take the plunge and get this card. It works very well in my Windows 7 (64-bit) after I installed their drivers. I have to use the AVerTV MediaCenter program to record the video though. Although my Sony Vegas Studio Platinum 8.0 recognises the MPEG2 device, it is unable to record video.
Although my digital camera (Lumix TZ7) gets 720p videos in AVHCDLite, the camcorder still beats it in true resolution (although the camcorder is still only 1080i) and ease of use for video recording. I am glad that I can make use of my camcorder again and not be restricted to SD resolution.
I haven't used the SnugTV application yet. Looking forward to giving it a try later.
All said, AVerTV CaptureHD saved my investment on the camcorder.

This card installs easily and works just great. I read the other reviews concerning Media Center Edition. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate and seldom ever use MCE. Instead I chose to use
Roxio Creator 2011 Pro and use the capture feature. It's easy and works very well with this product.

Review 4 :
The installation of this product was quick and straight forward. The initial use of this product went very well, but after a few days the software started to get a little buggy. I then tried the beta drivers available for download at the Avermedia website and that solved all my problems. It now works flawlessly. The picture is clear and crisp, not overly sharp and the product works without fault. I recommend this product, but remember HDMI is protected by HDCP so the use of a 3rd party program like FRAPS will be needed to capture protected content.

Review 5 :
Installation was into a PC Clone based on an Asus M3A78CM motherboard, 4 GB RAM, Quad Core CPU, running Windows XP Pro SP2 (recent install, no anti virus software). Used the "in-the-box" drivers and software. Hooked it up to my cable box via a HDMI cable, clicked open the preview screen, a TV picture flashed, and immediately obtained the HDCP message which then blanked the preview screen. Took advice above re: installing FRAP which apparently loads something that resolves the HDCP issue. Did captures of 2 one hour 1080i shows from my cable box with excellent, crisp, results where voice synch remained perfect, with capture program minimized and machine otherwise idle. I then fooled around with loading up the system while I was doing other captures and had a fair amount of trouble with losing voice synch. I edited out the commercials and other extraneous stuff using Premiere Elements and burned DVDs of the 2 shows I captured.
Review 6 :
I have been trying to get a working PCTV solution for a while now and have tried several cards.
This is by far the best card I have found, and the cheapest. If you are looking to hook-up your PC to a Plasma and still get Full HD picture this is the ticket.
There is one thing I have to mention, this card does NOT integrate with Windows Media Center. It only works with the included Aver Media Center which works great and allows you to record your HDMI inputs in Full HD very quickly. The downside of not having Windows Media Center Integration is you can not control your cable or satellite box remotely. But you can remote desktop into the system and watch the HD feed from anywhere you just can change the channel which is not a big issue.
I am going to buy another one for my other computer.
Review 7 :
This card does everything it is advertised to do.
I have a Dish network receiver with HD output in 1080p.
The movies I have captured are amazing. I use CyberLink
Power director 8 ultra to edit, produce and burn my videos
to to DVD or Blu ray. The results are really nice. You must have a
fast computer and 2gigs of ram to capture HD. As with most
capture cards, it will not capture copyright video.
I highly recommend this product.
