I would not be suprised to see it suddenly disappear into thin air either as it scheduled to be released next month.]]>Sep 13th 2006 2:17PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/Sep 13th 2006 2:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/Sep 13th 2006 2:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/

*Intensity features HDMI-in for connecting to cameras and digital set-top boxes for the highest quality capture.*

So it's a bit vague. I was under the assumption that HDMI was *always* HDCP compliant, where DVI was a hit or miss proposition (ie. My upscaling Denon DVD player has a HCDP-compliant DVI port, my PC does not, etc). I wonder then if there are some STB's with HDMI ports that are not HDCP-complaint?]]>Sep 14th 2006 7:13PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/Sep 13th 2006 8:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/
When DVD "ripping" was in it's infancy 9+ Gb of free HD space was definitely a premium for your average home computer. Encoding the DVD data to VCD or DivX took all night (8+ hours) on the ~1GHz single core CPU's of the time.

Learn the lessons of history. PC's eventually catch up.

It is only a matter of time that someone releases a HMDI-HDMI convertor that filters out the HDCP so this card coudl work on such content. Or conversly someone hacks this card (driver software?) to allow HDCP recording.]]>Sep 14th 2006 9:18AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/13/hdmi-capture-card-for-249/
A Black Magic representative told me it would not record the HDMI output of my HD-DVR.

The real big value for us video editors is to actually see our software editing timeline (like in Final Cut Pro or iMovie) live out to an HDTV. Last week, this required at least a $1000 card in our Macs or PCs. This alone makes the card an incredible value.
