PS3 Capture Cards

Hello guys,
Well basically I am going to start making youtube videos for gaming and reviews mainly I will be recording Fifa 13 gameplay I am already in division one with only 7 losses? 50 odd Wins.

But yeah I am going to be a late starter there are guys currently out there like KSIOlajideBT, gudjon daniel etc etc who are just epic if you guys havent seen ksi before you need to watch him.

Random video off them both when Gudjon visited the UK:


But yeah I want to start out doing something useful not sure if anyone has experience of anything like this over at crossfire but I am looking for a capture device so I can capture my PS3 games as a video camera doesnt look very good tbh.

if anyone can recommend any it would be awsome. Everyone is mentioning things like the HDR which is around $200 I dont really want to spend that much money until I see if people would even like the videos. So basically looking for something under £100 which could give decent quality there is mixed reviews about the dazzle DVC 100 capture card and some off the videos look near enough HD.

Anyone yeah this is my plan so if anyone could gimmie any ideas etc for cards or any video ideas it would be nice.

Thanks peace xo

2013, dont get anything that doesnt record HD. Haippauge HD PVR, Elegato Game Capture or Blackmagic Intensity Pro. Blackmagic might have some issues with PS3 since it uses HDMI and PS3 has HDCP.
Anything under £100 ?

I seen this video using the dazzle DVC 100 and it looked pretty good to be SD.


But im aware off the year and the competition but im doing it all for fun, I wouldnt want to spend £150 on something what could fail on me when I dont become a huge thing. I just wanna chill and do some stuff. Eventually I will just see how it kicks off right.

Honestly if you are going to get SD capture card, I would go with DVC170 if you can find one. Also note that if you are getting SD capture card, that means you will also have to play on SD. Getting S-Video cable is also recommended if you are going to get SD cap card and want to have decent quality and eliminate the "rainbow effect".

Thanks for your replies mate could you recommend any links to where I could buy these items ? as I said im completely new to this. Check out my LAME ass video. My first ever video no editing at all. basically its a quick temp to use my phone until I get a capture card it actually has good picture but colours go off sometimes.

However if you cant link me I will definitely take a look at the DVC170 ( when checking comparisons people said theres no difference and the only difference is the PC software or smth )

and Ill take a look at the S-Cable to ive never heard. In the end I will use HD its just for now I will see how it goes starting off first. Start small go big:P

Well, I'm from Finland and I bought my Dazzle card in a local store here :S but if your profile tell right that you are from UK, you could just go with Amazon or eBay.


Pinnacle has actually come up with an updated version of DVC 170, which is this (doesn't record HD regardless of the name):

S-Video Cable:

Well I decided I got budged... I will get the Roxio Game Capture HD Pro official website: Total: $118.49

That is with 15% off. Not bad tbh.. Comes to £75.35

I guess I will pay that tbh but thats the maximum ill pay I really dont want to pay any more than that!

Well oddly... if I say im from USA it converts to $118.49 -> £90.08

Then I check google: $118.49 -> £75.35

So I think ill buy from USA or just let paypal switch payments much cheaper.

Quick example off my latest video:

I have a lot to learn about video editing etc but I am willing to learn and commentating I will be fine with that atm I was off course a bit nervous as its mainly my first time. But when I receive this capture device it will be epic !

The only problem with SD recorders is that u have to play in SD which just gives eye burn. Blackmagic is decent price but it has high pc requirements i think. The one u win from ksi gotw looks good though.
Parent
Nope, Blackmagic records uncompressed files so it requires pretty much nothing from your PC, just a standard PCI-Express slot. The problem with Blackmagic is that the files are huge since they are uncompressed.
Parent
Ah, been a while since i looked into recording stuff for my ps3. Knew there was a downside to it though.
Parent
Also, those Dazzle capture cards don't come with everything you need. You will also need an extra pair of RCA cables and 3x Y-splitters/cables (1 male > 2 female).
Yup I already own the RCA cables, and the splitters are like 60p each.

AverMedia Game Capture HD
Good choice yes but it probably has some issues with HDCP on PS3.


Nvm confused it with Live Gamer HD which is HDMI card while Game Capture HD is component video.
