SmartCapture Pro is the world's smallest and first USB based Audio/Video capture and H.264/AAC Encoder device. It captures NTSC or PAL analog video (Camcorder, VCR, TV, Camera, etc.) and analog stereo (L/R), digitizes and encodes it to H.264 (Video) and AAC (audio) Providing high quality digital multimedia at low bit rates.
H.264, MPEG-4 Part 10, or AVC (for Advanced Video Coding), is a digital video coding standard that is noted for very high data compression. It was
jointly written by the ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group (VCEG) together with the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) as the product of a collective partnership effort known as the Joint Video Team (JVT).
H.264/AVC/MPEG-4 Part 10 incorporated a number of new algorithm that allow it to compress video much more effectively than older standards and to provide more flexibility for application to a wide variety of network environments.

Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a standardized, compression and encoding scheme for digital audio. AAC usually achieves better sound quality than the more popular MP3 format when compared at the same bit rate, especially for bit rates below 100 Kbps
