Video capture directly to MP4 / H.264

Hi All

Can anyone recommend a good quality capture card that can compress to MP4 / H.264 at a good compression rate (with configurable compression), that will work in a PC?

It would need to be able to capture different frame rates, but generally would be NTSC format.

Ideally it would have an HTTP API, or some kind of SDK as well.

I look forward to hearing your answers.

Hi,

How did you go with this?

Kind Regards

Are you talking about capturing analogue, as you don't generally use 'capture cards' on a PC to capture digital video? Could you advise what you are planning to capture.=?

Hi there

We'd be capturing analogue.

Thanks!
I use a simple USB capture device to do this, which is Kaiserbaas:

This come with PowerProducer software, which says it captures to H.264 if you go to their website.
I mostly capture to MPEG-2 or DV AVI.
Do you have  a special reason for wanting to encode analogue to H.264?
 

Thanks this was great.
