Capture Card Recommendation?

[HeavyMetal]

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a particularly reliable and effective capture card.

I can use advanced features so I figure if I buy one I might as well buy a good one.

However, if I can find a good capture card for a reasonable price that is also nice. (Many seem to have gone down in price.)

I am a fan of external devices, but I'll open a PC if I have too.

My problem is that I really don't know anything about computer hardware manufactures particularly in the graphics market.

That is the thing with computer technology. Two products can say they do the same thing, but deliver results in entirely different quality ranges.

Not to mention it can be hard to tell from the description on the box what the hell is in the box. I've seen a few bad product reviews on that.

I have checked out hardware guides, but time changes such things. Plus many don't really make recommendations.

So what capture card gets bang for the buck?

If anyone posts thank you.
