I have an RGB modded Core Grafx and it has worked great with my Framemeister and HDTV for years. However, recently I have decided to start capturing video for youtube and purchased this capture unit "GV-HDREC" available in Japan which does not require a PC.

I really like being able to capture HD video without a PC. The unit works amazingly well for capturing contemporary games in 1080p. I would prefer to keep this unit, but unfortunately it is giving me some issues when trying to capture PC Engine video with the Framemeister. It does not seem to support input from the Framemeister with sync mode set to "AUTO". It needs to be turned to "OFF". This causes the output framerate from the framemeister to "jerk" once every few seconds instead of running smoothly like it does when set to "AUTO". I don't find this framerate to be quite acceptable for making good looking youtube videos.

I've heard that there are some other USB capture devices available in the U.S. which have the same issue. Does anyone know a solution? I have the latest beta firmware installed on the Framemeister. Could it help to try some of the "Sync level" settings on the framemeister?

Did you ever sort this out?

I use an elgato game capture HD and I have an alternative to the Framemeister which is OSSC.   So far I have found that capturing it is incompatible with 2 games.  Detana Twinbee and Raiden.  No picture only audio with those.

I did some captures both using Component and compared them to RGB but only at 720p

component <<  >> RGB

If you are using composite video as sync I have seen issues like that before. The best solution I have personally found for that is to either use csync, a sync stripper, or a gscartsw_lite with sync regen on.
