To date, my video recording has been limited to recording TV shows. I have used Elgato hardware and software and have found it satisfactory.

I do have a camera that is capable of both still and movie photography. I have used it principally for stills and only dabbled with video looking at playback only on the camera. I have not downloaded any video to the MBP so I cannot offer any guidance there.
