For some reason I find it funny that it's basically just a PC.
I noticed the video coming in from this ezcrap dongle looks less "live" than on a real NTSC monitor. The digital recordings say they're 30 FPS but on the real monitor it looks equivalent to 60 FPS. I guess this is because the dongle records both NTSC fields (60Hz) as one digital frame (30Hz).
I have an older PC that's got an Intel Core 2 Quad and two legacy PCI slots. It's certainly up to the task of recording digital video. I think an old Hauppauge capture card will be a better solution. Not a dongle, a real PCI card.
