No problem, don’t mention it.
The "software encoder" of which you speak never even occurred to me until you mentioned it. Naturally I haven’t made up my mind either way about either of these cards. Performance is key but so too is price, availability and possibly even user experiences.
I have used an AIW 9800 Pro in MCE and that has drawbacks,…
I used a HDTV Wonder in MCE (both NTSC and ATSC components enabled) and still do in fact,…and that has drawbacks too,…
I have used more then one Theater 550 Pro in MCE and once again, drawbacks are there.
It would be prudent IMO to expect that the same is true of the Theater 650 Pro and the Vbox 164e.

I know of no such limitation. In MCE, High Definition and long SD recordings may be well over 4GB.
FAT32 may have such limits but NTFS does not.
