The box includes a component video input as well as optical or stereo audio inputs. (Audio is recorded using AC-3 encoding from SPDIF in 2 or 5.1 channel audio / Digital Dolby).

- .MP4, which is compatible with the XBox 360
The .TS and .M2TS files are AVCHD compatible, and can be used to burn Blu-ray compatible disk recordings. These files can be burned onto a standard DVD+R or DVD+RW disk for playback in a Blu-ray disk player. Approximately 2 hours of HD TV recorded at 5Mbits/sec can be put onto a standard DVD+R or DVD+RW disk.

Bought this for my PS3 and it works great, no lag while playing either.
Also used it to transfer wedding video from VHS to Computer to write DVD, seperate cable needed for that though.
If you upload to You Tube, quality is great.

The HDVR is very simple to install and get going. Another advantage is the weight, it weighs next to nothing so it's possible to stack on your Xbox 360 at least for those who are tight on space. This gaming version also comes with a component cable for the 360 and PS3 so you won't have to swap out cables or buy a switcher. It comes bundled with a recording program for basic editing and uploading. My only wish would be for them (Hauppauge) to remake the HDPVR with the ability to control by remote (if posible). It also assumes that everyone has everything set up in a compact space so if your PC or laptop is going to be far away from the HDPVR you will need an extension cable. However, I have no issues with performance, it does what I need it to do and if you want to record your gameplay then this is the device most You Tube commentators/video makers use. You can't go wrong.
My basic set-up:
HDPVR
Xbox 360/PS3
HP Laptop
Blue Snowball microphone
Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD (Platinum)
