Like most other TV tuners in its class, the Bravo Hybrid can encode your high definition and standard def TV streams as MPEG-2 video files. But the card can also encode videos using the H.264 codec, allowing you to compress your videos to save space in real-time without the need for a blazing fast computer processor. Not only will your H.264 videos take up less space on your PC, but they'll also be iPod-compatible.
The AVerTV Bravo Hybrid PCI-E is available now for about $80.

Hard to know for sure but I am pretty sure the card doesn't do hardware H.264 else why would it need a P4 3GHz or C2D 1.6GHz or better to do realtime 320x240? Sounds to me like it's a software encoder.
My C2D 3Ghz can encode a 320x240 at 70fps using iPod specs.
