Should I sell my Elgato, Avermedia, Hauppaug HD PVR, Roxio Game Capture etc.? This is the Big Question Youtubers all want to know. Because both PS4 and Xbox One has incorporated their own built in capture cards "BUT" no one hasn't said anything about recording commentary or video editing which is very important to the Youtube Gamplay Nation.....
Welcome to the comprehensive review of this AverMedia capture card and we compare it to a cheap capture card from Amazon that we previously bought that gave us a ton of headaches
After teasing content creators over the past week about an imminent announcement regarding their new product, it appears a leaked Best Buy ad may have already announced it for them!
Definitely cool, capture cards are a lot better than software based capture, aside from cost
That's cool I have the elgato HD it's awesome literally the easiest thing I have ever set up but I can't see YT having 60fps support for a while like for everyone I mean I know they are doing some promotional things in 60fps maybe I'm out of the loop and they already do it if so awesome
I'm not sure if it's in some form of beta phase or not, but it is apparently coming soon. I've been using the Elgato HD as well, and I love it, but I dig that additional live-stream features (overlays, FINALLY) that are included in the HD60. It seems like a pretty good upgrade.
I use Elgato Game Capture HD for console streaming a lot and I love the device's features, but I stream games through OBS, which allows overlays. I never really liked the first Elgato's built-in Twitch streaming interface (it felt too sketchy and unreliable for me), so that leaves 1080p/60fps as the only selling point for me right now.
I'm gonna wait and see what the early reception is before deciding on this. Right now, there really isn't anything in this new device that the original Game Capture HD can't do (aside from 1080p/60fps and overlays outside of OBS, both of which don't really seem essential yet).
You have a point, I'm gonna wait to watch all the youtube reviews before running to buy it.
Avermedia's ExtremeCap U3 can already Capture/Record in 1080p60, and is already a bit cheaper than the price ElGato's solution is rumored to launch at.
The only problem with the Extremecap is it uses USB 3.0, which is very picky with what it works with.
I have to imagine the HD60 is going the same route as well, due to the bandwidth limitations of USB 2.
Avermedia products, from my experience, are pretty unreliable, especially considering the amount of features and updates Elgato gives their products.
Is Elgato hinting at a new game capture device?
Yeah I dont think anyone is asking that.
Actually Microsoft has said something about editing and commentary...... at this time it seems like it is common knowledge that using the Kinect that you can actually do picture in picture commentary. If this is a question being asked, a simple Google search could help answer.
Edit: Yeah, I agree with pop-voxuli.
Well, Sony doesn't allow capture through HDMI, and there is no component out of the box. As far as I know, you can still capture HDMI with Xbox one.
The other problem, though, is that the first generation of some of these devices don't have HDMI in. The new ones do.
I don't see the point of this "article". The guy asks if he should sell his capture device, and later says he wouldn't recommend it.
Also, the Xbox 360 did not have any HDCP encryption besides when playing media content, and neither will the Xbox One. The only device that requires a bypass (for HDMI) is the PS3, and PS4 (temporarily until the patch it, which is dumb cause it should've been there at launch).
I expect the recording on both consoles to be gimped in some form or manner so most people who want to take this gameplay commentaries thing seriously would still go for the hardware designed for it.So gettin rid off your capture cards would he kinda dumb.
