[Mike Evans] "First, when I attempt to record via DVI to HDMI, I can never seem to get this to work."
AJA's HDMI only supports SMPTE Video signals, while the HDMI protocol supports computer monitor and video display resolutions, AJA's tools only support the Video rasters. AJA also abides to ALL HDCP security measures- so you cannot record HDMI from set-top boxes or gaming consoles.
"Am I correct that the composite signal only works when down conversion is selected on component out? If so, isn't it a little silly to not always have it down convert since it's composite? "
No the composite out should work all the time.
"Does anyone else have issues getting certain pieces of equipment to "lock up" certain peices of gear? It seems that the tolerance for record is very high. I've had HDMI not stay "locked" when recording from a DVD"
I do not know what you mean by locked? there is no ancillary data stream with HDMI capture so device control is and should be manually controlled at the player device- ALSO see note above.
