I recommend an AVerMedia Live Gamer Portable (or Portable 2 if you want the extra features): http://amzn.to/2nb3xvc I use it to record all kinds of systems (older systems through an XRGB-mini). The nice part about this is the "portable" aspect, in that it only needs to be powered via any USB source and can record directly to an SD card. The PC part is completely optional (I don't even bother with it). As for HDCP, if that's an issue for you, it's easy enough to buy a splitter: http://amzn.to/2mBJd9X Most splitters strip it out of necessity. -Bill ======================================================== Bill Loguidice, Managing Director; Armchair Arcade, Inc. <http://www.armchairarcade.com> ======================================================== Authored Books <http://www.amazon.com/Bill-Loguidice/e/B001U7W3YS/ref=ntt_dp_epwbk_1> and Film <http://www.armchairarcade.com/film>; About me and other ways to get in touch <http://about.me/billloguidice> ======================================================== On Tue, Mar 7, 2017 at 11:54 AM, Matt Patoray via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:
Since Chris is copying from a DVR Set Top box the capture product will need to support HDCP to allow HDMI copying of the signal.

Does it need to be USB? You can get a PCI-E HDMI capture card for ~$80 from newegg.

Can anyone recommend a way to take an HDMI video signal and convert it to USB so it can be recorded on a computer? I found a device that does this but it is around $300 and I wanted to find something cheaper.
Thanks, Chris F.
