Mine is a SpigotPro AV, I'm looking at the original box right now... The SpigotPower AV's were the later ones sold for the PowerMacs. The only difference between the two, AFAIK, is the little ribbon cable required on the PMacs.
My setup will record 640x480 NTSC at 30fps, but I just have problems always getting output from Spigot all the time. I have a fairly fast AV drive on the stock controller. The output problems seem to be related to what apps I use, but I'll have to play with it some more to know for sure. I've also got a Nubus Video Spigot, but I've never taken the time to get it going... It was going to go into a IIci or a Quadra 650 someday, time permitting.
