The Haupagge HD PVR cost around $200.00 but it's well worth the investment, the unit itself does all the rendering, so when you press stop after recording something that file is ready to be uploaded to your favorite video site. The unit can also be used on the MAC platform using different software freely available on the internet. I highly recommend this device for those you that want to record walk-throughs, or just want to make reviews for Youtube.
