Question: So can I record retro consoles with this device (e.g. Gamecube/PS2 era back through NES if they don't have a composite cable and only have A/V cables?
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.
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.
its good to play in HD on my tv while recording to my pc at same time but the quality of recording is not that good..even for 480p and using component cables the picture is not better than other standard composite cable capturing or recording
Regarding cables if you have a yellow, red, and white cav cable on your ps3 a yellow, red, and white av cable is needed to use from device to TV to fix black and white TV screen when device is hooked up. Other then that this game capture device is awesome and its definitely worth the price for it.
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 finally set this up for my son but please note that you will need additional cables for the Xbox 360. We bought the Component HD AV cable set from game stop which was $14 (pre owned). After the set up, it seems to work good for what we want it for.
The device works fine. I just wish it would capture talking during game play rather than having to go back and do a voice over.
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.
As advertised. A No nonsense plug and play USB device. This is how it should be with a hardware install along with user friendly software.
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.
Answer: This specific video card is capable with s-video (cicular connector with pins) and rca cables (yellow, white, and red cables) as its lowest quality possible connections. Anything lower than that is not possible. To connect rca cables you will need to get those cables separate they do NOT come in the packaging. Connect the yellow cable in the green connector. So yellow into green,white into white and red in to red. Then repeat the same for the passthrough.
