Ah, thanks for the link topspot! I passed it on to my bf and will take the info into consideration for future purchasing.

I saw that when I was looking.  Apparently though, the difference is that the Razor Ripsaw is made to use OBS and X-Split.  AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme has it's own software.

I use one of these for my classic systems, it's cheap, but it can capture a 240 or lower signal.
