Xbox Capture Cards and Video Editing

Hi Guys

Wondered if i could get your opinions on the Hauppauge HDPVR2 Capture Card? Is it good, anything to recommend about it, accessories I should need? I have an Acer Aspire laptop, 1gb RAM 160gb HDD AMD V105 Processor (1.2ghz) CPU, will this be suitable for editing and uploading to Youtube?

Cheers

i have got a HDPVR2 and i am really happy with it.

here is a video from my HDPVR2 full HD 60fps.

I have the PVR 2 and it's a great peice of kit. However I'm not sure about those specs. The software will take a huge toll on the graphics and CPU when you're recording, but I reckon it should be fine with that.

This is the software that comes with it, supposedly.

requirements:

3.0 GHz single-core or 2.0 GHz multi-core processor
microsoft windows 7 32or64bit, windows vista, or windows xp service pack 3

tv with Hdmi Input

min. 512mb ram

graphic min. 256mb memory

so i think there is no problem with your laptop

Thanks guys! Is there an editing software you could recommend?

I use After Effects, which is good if you know what you're doing... (hint: if you haven't used it before, you won't).

When we were doing the Motors TV vids, Jamie used a program called VideoPad to do the final cut. Very simple and easy to use.
