(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This thread could be in either PS3 or XBOX, so I put it in General Discussion =D

Firstly the most well known Capture Cards:

1.) Dazzle
2.) Easycap
3.) Hauppauge Hd Pvr
4.) Blackmagic Intensity Pro
5.) Blitzboxes

Dazzle and Easycap

These two capture cards require you to play in SD and they only let you record in SD. This is a major disadvantage as it reduces quality expressed on your TV, but these produce ok quality and your quality can improve if you follow some tutorials which include colour correction etc. But many people "like" these capture cards because of their cost.

(The following prices or not the lowest prices or the maximum, they are just the ones off amazon)

*NOTE* The more expensive Dazzle (the black one) does not produce better quality, you just get a better program and if are premium, I have provided good programs in a thread. (Can be found at bottom of the thread)

Also if are going to purchase a Dazzle or Easycap, I advise getting one of these: You must login or register to view this content.

With the cable you will not need splitters etc and it will also produce better quality.

Blitzbox H

This is a capture card that allows you to play in HD but record in SD, this capture is more expensive than a Dazzle and I advise if your going for this, just save up for a HD PVR, as you will achieve better quality.

HD Pvr and Blackmagic Intensity Pro:



This allows you to record and play in HD but the recordings take up lots of memory and will kill a average laptop/computer.



The same aspects as a HD PVR, but is placed into the Pc/Laptop.

Maybe add in the NEW BlackMagic Intensity Shuffle as its suppose to be equal to the HD PVR and doesnt have to be placed into your laptop/computer



Apart from that amazing thread once again!

Thanks for the input Wiinty.

No Problemo! =D

Need to get myself a HD capture card and was thinking about HD PVR or one of the BlackMagic ones

Yeah, I do recommend buying a HD one, too many people with the SD ones now, you need to stand out

I am saving up for a HD PVR do you recommend a Happauge or a Black Magic Shuttle?

thanks man!

hdpvr is sexy

Personally, I would buy a PVR but you should wait for a review of the new blackmagic or to see the quality and then you can decide.

I Cant Decide
