- About 5 years ago when I was looking into new equipment, I looked at Black Magic. I eventually decided against them because of the mixed reviews on Amazon. Maybe that's changed.user3643– user36432016-04-30 06:16:27 +00:00Commented Apr 30, 2016 at 6:16
- B&H comments for the ProRecorder are a little concerning. Asynchronous audio, won't work with Primere, easily corrupted files, short life ... I couldn't feel good about buying this, but I'm in a professional setting. The content I record represents thousands of dollars.user3643– user36432016-04-30 06:40:47 +00:00Commented Apr 30, 2016 at 6:40
- When you read comments/reviews on B&H, Amazon, etc. consider the fact that the negative reviews are almost all submitted by people who don't know what they are doing or don't know what they are talking about. I own and use many BlackMagic products from small converter gadgets to large video production switchers and 40x40 matrix switchers. With very few exceptions BMD makes cutting-edge products with exceptionally high price/performance ratios. The H.264 recorder is quite dependent on having a compatible computer configuration and installation to complete the process.Richard Crowley– Richard Crowley2016-05-01 18:52:41 +00:00Commented May 1, 2016 at 18:52
- @Richard I personally see a high dependence on computer configuration a pretty big con. If you can control everything and have virtually unlimited prep time, it's no problem, but that's just not usually an option. I can't say I haven't been tempted to buy black magic, and I still might one day. The price is very attractive.user3643– user36432016-05-01 20:15:53 +00:00Commented May 1, 2016 at 20:15
- @fredsbend, I agree. My main recorder is an AJA KiPro, and backup recorder is a BlackMagic HyperDeck Studio. Which is why I posted an additional "Answer" about the completely standalone AVerMedia Live Gamer PortableRichard Crowley– Richard Crowley2016-05-01 20:24:14 +00:00Commented May 1, 2016 at 20:24

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. after-effects), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
