    I am capturing home video from an 8mm camcorder and can either use my Hauppague WinTV-HVR-1600 with hardware encoding or an Avermedia capture card which has the SAA7130 chip. When using the Avermedia card, I capture using no compression and then encode using HC. With either I set the bitrate around 8000. Space useage and time are not issues. Does the Hauppague WinTV-HVR-1600 have a better chipset which offsets the hardware versus software encoding?

    The use of hardware encoding greatly reduces the CPU load.
