I know there are many factors that contribute to perfect capture and playback, but I am curious what level of capture-quality qualifies as 'certified' from an engineering perspective.
I have been searching for a pre-manufactured 1RU computer that could utilize a Decklink Mini Recorder, and attempted today with an HP DL120 G7. As with a few other Blackmagic capture products I have tried, I get smooth video for-the-most-part, but every 10 seconds or so the video becomes choppy. Carefully observe this video for an example:

In my ignorance I wonder if the only requirement some people are looking at is that they can see -- on the capturing-computer -- the video they are trying to capture.... but my question is What other tests can a user perform, besides tirelessly watching for smooth video, to ensure that a Desktop Video Product will work with a device?
Thanks!
