• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I am planning on getting this, but I don't want to have to use windows to use it, I want to use my Mac. Does anyone know any software I can use? If you did it would help a lot, thanks. :Smirk:

The HD DVR is not software. It is video capture hardware.

The most often recommended video capture hardware for the Mac is by El Gato, called EyeTV. A quick google will find them at the top of the list.

I got the software and installing it but they don't have avermedia as a brand, what do I do?

Don't have a clue, as you have not told us what it is you're trying to do or what you're trying to do it with.

Then you're going to need to purchase a video capture card.

Why are you stuck on the Avermedia brand? Seems like a no-name company, even in the Windows world.

Elgato has a video capture solution that should work for recording video from game systems.

Elgato Video Capture

There's more to it than just software as bobtomay mentioned - you need hardware to actually import the video.
