![]() Notes after a few hours' use: when you capture at 760p/60fps, the saved file takes approximately 100MB per minute of recording. Capturing at 1080p/30fps, about 150MB/minute. As a rule of thumb, recording HD will fill 5-6 gigabytes per hour - so a 1TB external drive is good for a couple hundred hours of HD. The special ".eyetv" files the app creates are in fact "packages." Right-click on one and select "Show Package Contents" and you find several files including a. ![]() mpg file that is apparently the video in H.264 format. Is this a way to get the video without the lengthy "export" process? Sometimes, maybe. Toast, as I noted above, handles it the Blu-Ray Creator app from the App store cannot.Īs far as video recorders go, especially for Mac, there are not very many options. Elgato does have the best choices, by far, and I've used their products for some time. This model is an improvement of their non-HD version. Gone is weird octopus cable which you used to need to connect all your AV wires into. Now, the box has gotten bigger and I assume the've moved all that cabling inside (although they do have a smaller octopus cable for S-video). Note: recording one hour of programming at this spec will use about 8.0 GBs of hard disk space, you'll need lots of storage. They've also removed the power supply so that it gets power over USB - that's a nice touch, and one less thing you need to find a power plug for.Ĭons: routinely crashes. Video will suddenly pause in the middle of the recording. Sometimes the audio will keep going while the video is paused, but usually they'll both pause together. If you're lucky, the recording will continue within a few seconds. Usually it'll continue after a few minutes. Sometimes it takes longer than 10 minutes, and sometimes it never continues at all. The recording will skip the amount of time paused i.e., if the video pauses for 10 seconds, the recording will continue in real time, 10 seconds from the time that it paused. ![]() So if you're unlucky and the pause didn't occur during a commercial break, then you're SOL and will need to start the recording over from the beginning. ![]() This is VERY annoying, and a bug that I've experienced in multiple Macs, and ever since Elgator released version 2.x of their software (it's at version 3.x now). ![]() Elgato support has not been helpful on this issue, and for some reason I don't see it in their help forums, so I assume it's being removed on purpose. ![]()
