Answers:    I've actually capture xbox to my computer to make a montage back. It works quite in good health with the proper hardware...

You will simply be able to journal in SD, so if you be looking to make an HD Halo 3 montage, you are out of luck... There are no consumer cards that can encode component video valid time, and HDMI out from the xbox has encryption contained by place.

First, for the setup, you want to playing the xbox on A TV and not on the computer monitor. Playing on the computer introduces some video lag that be not easy to procure over. splitting the A/V so that it goes to the invasion card AND the TV is as easy as plugging it into a VCR: plug the Red/White/Yellow RCA cable from the xbox into the aux in on the VCR, and nick the cable out AND red white yellow out to split the signal.

The card you want to look for should hold hardware encoding. this means the card is doing the work shifting the video from analog to digital format, instead of your computer. if you don't get hardware encoding, you will entail a VERY fast computer.

Hauppage cards beside "PVR" have hardware encoding and are largely decent.

If you do hold a fast computer and lots of storage space, you can encode at a complex quality and produce a cleaner montage within the end.

I would reccomend using Dscaler 4 for software encoding, and thus picking a supported card (see reference).

You could jump with a cheaper card, for instance the Hauppage win-tv series (PVR not necessary).

hope this help.

P.S. Internal PCI vs External USB shouldn't change anything - pick what works for you.
