I have a sound card(an Audigy) and though recording in Xbox footage at
720p or higher would be cool, it's not a necessity, so with that said do
you have any card, in specific, you could recommend? Like brand and
model no? About the only thing I've ever known were the AiW and TV
Wonder lines. I've been looking at the TV Wonder Elite lately...
Also, these others card, do they have the whole lag thing going on in
them that the AiW/TV Wonder series seem to have(where when you press a
direction on the controller, it takes a second for it to show on the
video being displayed/recorded on the PC)? I've never really been
unhappy with anything the AiW did in terms of recording, in fact I did
my entire MKG Fatality demo using just it and I think it came out great:

but the only thing I hated was that lag...really made it difficult to do
a lot of stuff(like combo training vids, etc).

BT 878 based cards have nearly instant response.. But when recording
to the HD, usually have some lag, which is actually introduced by the
application (or DirectShow I believe)..
I haven't seen any latest model tuner cards, so I don't know.. I'm
used to the WinTV and AverTV Studio stuff.
