Test and Review of the Avermedia Aver HD PVR – HDMI Capture Card – 1280 x 720

Buy the Aver HD PVR: www.amazon.com Test of the NEW Avermedia HD PVR which was released in November 2009 by Avermedia. * PLEASE NOTE: This product has only been used for this particular review video. It was returned by the owner (PHT member) since they were unable to increase the recording bitrate manually. The filter(s) for digital recording the HDMI connection are NOT found in GraphEdit and thus there is no known method of recording the HDMI feed with 3rd party software. The Analog filters were found, so you could possibly create a GraphEdit graph to record via Analog (Component, S-video, Composite), although this was NOT tested. Since then an alternative method of recording has been used by other YT’s by directly capturing the live output of the AVER software using a 3rd party screen capture program. PLEASTE NOTE, this product is encrypted by HDCP over HDMI, so you are NOT going to be able to record Encrypted content using the HDMI connection on things such as the PS3, DVD, Blu Ray, Cable box, etc… However, you can record using the Analog Connections (Component, S-video, Composite). UPDATE: Using a screen capture program, you can manually record the Aver Media Center Program while it is outputting whatever you want to record on your monitor. This way you are bypassing the limitations (bitrate) of said program by directly capturing what it is displaying on your screen. One such screen capture program is called, FRAPS, and can be found using any Search Engine
