The Legendary Zoltan Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (I hope this is the correct forum.) Do you guys know a good way to do that? I am willing to spend some money on it. Right now I have a somewhat weak laptop and I heard that video capture cards are usually the type of things you have to install. So I don't know if I can do that unless there is a USB video capture card. I want to record in the best possible quality. The Angry Video Game Nerd uses a DVD recorder and then I guess he just rips the DVD with his computer. So that's a possibility as well. I just don't want to do another video the way I did my Catherine review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuqlk3oi1TE) which was by searching youtube for videos in which people played the way I wanted them to. To sum up: HELP ME! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moomba Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 A friend of mine recently started using a Hauppauge HD PVR which seems to do a pretty good job ( )Records up to 1080i with H.264 compression! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 This is awesome. It's so freaking beautiful. Several people at another community gave me the exact same answer too. Looks like this is the way to go. Now to see how much it costs. Thanks a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbridledApathy Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 If you don't want to spend too much on the HD PVR, although i will admit that it records beautifully, you should check out the Roxio Game Capture Card. *This is not as good as the PVR, just a cheaper suggestion* It records at 480p, but if you have skills with video editing this card gives you enough to work with to make the video seem like 720p. http://www.roxio.com/enu/promotions/landing/machinima/game-capture/console/overview.html That link is 70 dollars instead of 100.

UnbridledApathy Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 Another card that is on par, if not better, with the HD PVR is the Black Magic Intensity Pro. Here's a comparison video: They are about the same price and I hear better things about the intensity pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Legendary Zoltan Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I recently realized that my TV doesn't have component inputs, so Hauppage might not be the way to go for me. But I've thought of some options. Could use the component output from the PS3 to the Hauppage and the HDMI output to my TV and would it send the picture to both? In other words, I'd be watching myself play on the HDMI cable but recording what comes through the component cables. Another thought I had was, what if I got a DVD recorder instead. They're probably cheaper. What do you guys think? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnbridledApathy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I haven't had your problem before so this comment won't directly answer your question. If you think you could get used to playing with a small amount of lag, many recording devices stream what they record to a computer monitor. So technically you don't need a tv. It's not optimal for playing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
