Turtle Beach Video Advantage USB reviewed

External video-capture units for PCs are becoming pretty common, and one of the latest to hit the shelves is the Turtle Beach Video Advantage USB. PC Magazine took a look at the diminutive $130 box and found it reliably captured video and audio from external sources, without any frame-dropping or out-of-sync audio. Their one caveat was that the box requires a fairly high-powered PC (they tested it on a 3.6 GHz Xeon), but that's to be expected for video. Our gripe: the bundled software only supports DV and MPEG-2 formats, so if you want to rip to DivX or any other format,
you'll need to convert your video after you've captured it. (We'd also like to see a dual-interface — USB 2.0 plus FireWire — but that's our Mac side talking.)
