Capture Card advice

[HarlotEffect]

Yeah so i'm thinking at somepoint of getting an HD capture card. (Although keeping my composite/S-Video too.)

 

I dunno what one to get these are my specs:

I run my El Gato off my laptop with no problems. I really like the El Gato. My Laptop is an 09 Dell, with an Intel Core 2.

I would recommend an Elgato or a Roxio Game Capture HD Pro.

Roxio is cheaper but i've been told it's total shit.

Your thinking of the first Roxio. I'm talking about this.

Elgato.

[Darth 6am3r]

Elgato,you even get a free HDMI port.

Well I'd prefer whichever one would work with my laptop. Cause I'm not wasting over £100 and it not working right. Since I would like to use it for future Let's Plays as well.

That's what I have and I think it's just as good quality wise as the bigger name devices. I'm running it off of a shitty laptop too. Only downside is the meh editing software and occasional screen tearing.

Is this the first one?

My mates looking at buying it at the moment due to the price, but I dunno what the difference is between this and the Pro version.

I have my old HDPVR and my Elgato. I know about the Roxio from friends and good reviews.

Didn't see your post there, Paul! Yes, that's the first one, the quality doesn't look to good, the HD Pro has WAY better quality.

Yeah the HD pro has an HDMI port, and the original only has component.

I love my Elgato. The only downside I have with it is that there's a minor delay from what you see on your TV and what you see on your computer screen. It's only really a problem as I prefer to have my refs right next to the screen capture software when making CAWs. Other than that, the quality is great, the software is good, and the flashback recording is very handy.
