Question: Can I use the S-Video instead of the cables to record videos?
Document: This capture card is perfect for recording consoles that have a component cable. But for things like the Gamecube, the component cables are $200+. You can use S-video, but if you're like me your TV lacks this input. It lacks the most common analog input: composite. This is a huge drawback because that's what most every console before this generation used and came with.
To fix this The cables the device uses must match that of PS3 AV cable. In other words, if you use a red, blue, and rgreen with the red and white audio cable (Included with device) the PS3 Av cable must also be that type of cable. You connect one set from device to your TV and the PS3 to device and usb to your computer. If you don't have an S Video cable plug on your TV don't worry it works without it so its not really needed.
I had to install the device several times to get the driver working successfully. It worked alright for component cables, even though the quality wasn't the greatest (but that's what I was expecting). My main problem was that COMPOSITE RECORDING didn't work. And of course by the time I discovered this, it was too late to return. *EDIT*So I tried to record my gamecube with composite cables instead of my super nintendo. It worked.
I purchased this for around $50 in order to host an online charity streaming event. I was able to use any video game console that supported s-video or component cables with little to no hassle. Only records in 480p (non HD). Worth the money for a beginning capture card.
Firstly, this devices doesn't record in full hd. That point I can't stress enough. Secondly, the video resolution and screen size isn't the best either. The resolution, while using componenth hd cables, look very blurry and grainy. The screen size at best setting is 16:9, which is not quite big enough for YouTube video players.
I use this for recording video games on youtube. It records up to 720p which is more than enough. There's no lag from the device to the TV or the computer. The software works well enough but the icons look like they were drawn by a fourth-grader, which makes it look like cheap software. If you want to record yourself talking over whatever you're recording you're gonna need separate software and you're going to have to edit that audio file in with the gameplay.
Seems like a quality product. Easy installation. 13 year old boy is using it to record Xbox gaming. I may use it to record some stuff I would like a digital copy of .
Before I buy this product, I borrowed one from a friend to see if I should waist $80 + shipping return fees for this product.To know how this product can work, you have to a bit of settings tinkering and have a decent knowledge of video resolutions and such before throwing out the spaghetti with the water.This has Component and S-video plugs with L/R audio.
So all in all for the price this isn't worth it unless you can secure component or S-video for all of your consoles.
This records stuff but the quality is pretty low. 720x480 is not even close to HD. This will only record at 720x480 (and lower). It will not create any videos larger than thatPS:Your TV can be at a higher resolution and it will record but the recording will only be 720x480 (or lower)
Answer: Yes you can. However you still have to hook up the audio cables.
