From AnalogHype.com: "One of the best decisions I have ever made was the day I decided to buy an HD PVR. I love recording gameplay footage from all of my favorite games and getting it on the net and the experience I have had establishing an increasingly popular Youtube Channel. One of the biggest drawbacks to being tethered to a HD PVR is the secret enemy of the HD business: HDCP."
T1 - Hauppauge Digital announced today support for PlayStation 4 with the latest firmware update from Sony.
Technically, PS4 now compatible with Hauppauge Game Recorders. Hauppauge didn't do anything, Sony did.
Lol, but true. not only Hauppauge but others too... Elgato, Avermedia, Blackmagic....
This was the case when the update kicked in rrmoving HDCP protection. So why is this news now?
I tested my HD PVR Rocket at the time. Works a charm with the PS4.
Forgive a (video capture) noob if this question seems dumb, but...why is a dedicated capture device needed?
Now that Share Factory is available with editing, commentary and music support. I understand you can even place raw footage on your PC and use any (theoretically) editor.
Then isn't it just a case of saving your work to a USB (or direct from PC), and then uploading to Youtube, or am I missing something here?
Higher quality recording, and editing options isn't limited to one application. Not to mention that some people like using their own equipment for recording and streaming.
But isn't Share Factory 720P/30fps, and is that not the limit on Youtube?
It would make any higher quality (1080P/60fps) capture redundant on Youtube...right?
Ok I agree people like to use their own equipment to stream/capture, but my question was...now that we have Share Factory...is a external capture device needed?
OmniGamer Writes "Hauppauge is well known for being the go-to company for a video capture device, and their peripherals are used by all types of video creators around the world. The gaming community however, stands out as the group of people who support this company the most. Almost all of the big gaming personalities on YouTube use a Hauppauge video capture device.
Their latest entry into their long line of great capture devices, the HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition looks to continue the trend of providing great hardware to capture your favorite games. The HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition contains both HDMI and component video inputs and can capture video from the PS3, Xbox 360, and the PC."
Highly doubtful as all that's been confirmed is that it can record, no mention of for how long, the extent of what you're able to record i.e gameplay and not the console interface or chat audio, live streaming, or if the render quality will even be good enough for production purposes. It's far more convenient and professional to use a PVR, no cutting corners around that. These devices have uses outside of gaming as well, you can use them to record TV through your DVR, and movies/shows on outdated formats for digital keepsake.
Quote me on this, next gen machine wont be needing this anymore, since MS and Sony already stated that their next gen machine is capable of recording gameplay videos in realtime.. That's one strangest thing in the world, I would say!. sarcasm/
I'd wait and see how the consoles' recording actually works, how long, what resolution, compression, etc before saying this will be obsolete.

We here at ZTGD are also in love with recording videos for our users to view of us being generally terrible at video games. We have been using Hauppage devices in the office for a couple years now with pretty excellent results, but the lack of HDMI inputs is starting to be a real drag. With the Hauppage HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus (longest. title. ever) all of our dreams have come true. We can now record in crisp 1080p from HDMI with pass through. That is of course if we are recording anything other than PS3.
