![]() Elgato's product does not drop frames at all. I am using the 1.0.1 version of the software and have a iMac 24" 2.4GHz with 4GB of RAM and I had several places in a 47 min. Even though MPEG-2 hardware encoders have been around for a while it looks like Roxio still has issues to fix with dropped frames. If you look at Macworld's review they had the same thing to say. Unfortunately, it looks like the Elgato Video Capture device is ahead of the game by not dropping frames like the Roxio product does. Real-time MPEG 2 hardware encoders have been around a long time and have less work to do so the a high-quality encoding is proven. Real-time MPEG 4/H.264 encoding is new technology and I'm waiting for independent tests to learn how good is the picture quality.

The MPEG-4 copy of your movie will be saved in the same folder as your recording, Movies → Easy VHS to DVD Capture. By clicking the Send to QuickTime button, your captured video will be converted to MPEG-4 and opened in the QuickTime Player. This option is ideal for viewing on your Mac or for syncing to your iPhone or iPod. When imported into iMovie, video will be converted into the AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) format. The Event Name used will be the same name that you selected on the Introduction screen. One click will launch iMovie and add your captured recording to a new iMovie Event. If you have a newer version of Toast, such as Toast 10 Titanium, that version will be used instead. ![]() You can also perform this task manually at a later time by launching Toast and dragging your video from the Movies folder to the Toast project area. Send to Toast automatically launches the included version of Roxio Toast and adds the captured video to a DVD-Video project. ![]() Video Input: Composite and S-Video (Mini-DIN)Īt the end of a capture in MPEG-2, you can select from the following options: Also what frame rate, 2.4 MBit/sec, 1.4 MBit/sec, etc. Would like more technical information such as what type of file it produces.
