Help me pick a Capture Device for "Our" Trials Show | Forums

[SleepyCatGamer]

So i had the really original idea of doing a show about Trials...

Yeah, but like i said in the other thread, i'm gonna try do be as community oriented as possible with this one.

But, the thing is, before i go any further with this, i need a Capture device, otherwise, i really couldn't go much further...

So, if you guys could help me picking out a good one, i'd really appreciate it.

These are the ones i've found, just searching on Youtube.


-Elgato Game Capture HD:

-AverMedia Game Capture HD

An this is the newest one on the Market:

-AverMedia Live Gamer Portable

So, i'd like to know what you guys think about these cards, and if any of you has one of these and wants to share their experience, or even wants to trow in more options, i'll really appreciate it, thanks.

I've used the Hauppauge 1212 HD PVR for 6 years. Best HD recorder!

i wouldn't get anything except a Hauppauge HDPVR, because there super easy to use and quality is really good,
the price is a little high but its worth it. i personally use a Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition

Yeah, i checked your Youtube Videos, and they have pretty good image quality, but are you using it at it's max settings?

Cos i think i've seen some Youtube videos using the same device, with an even crispier image quality.

Never really checked...I just hit record, stop, then upload haha Altho I did feel like my quality has decreased slightly over the years? Maybe just my imagination....

Well, it's not like it really matters, i mean, it does still look good, but if you really you want to, i think there are definitely settings to be fiddled with, either on the device or the software, that should improve your image quality.

Easy choice

Hauppauge

Plug it in. Record. Upload.

It's that easy.

With Hauppauge, should i just go for the cheaper, newer (maybe better?) HD PVR 2 at $149.99, or shell out the extra cash for the HD PVR Gaming Edition at $249.99?

Why is the first one more expensive than the second?

More connection options maybe.

I would go with the first cheaper one simply because it has HDMI in and out. But yeah, the second one seems to allow more devices to connect at once on it.

I would go for HD PVR 2, definitely - have a look on ebay/ amazon, see if there are any up on auction on those two websites - I got mine off amazon in an auction for $99, a lot cheaper than either!
Good luck on the show!
