Hiya, folks. Got a question about PC video capture cards and consoles (PS3/Xbox360).
Do any of you use a card to output on your PC the video feed from the console and play from that? Not necessarily record, just play like it was it’s on separate window on the PC, but you would still have both the console and PC running.
Does anyone do this and has experience with it?
Any drawbacks? Dropped frames?
hey, haha
There is a slight input delay while viewing and/or recording, it’s an obvious problem for fighting games. But I don’t have a problem with it when I’m playing something like an rpg though as I would have the game window software take up 50% and like youtube take up the other 50%. There aren’t any dropped frames at all.
The only way to be able to get around that would be to use component/ hdmi splitters with a secondary monitor (I have a dual monitor setup) or even just a television near your computer. You would game on the secondary monitor normally while the computer monitor was just used for recording.
oh hai :3
Yeah, I was thinking about just using the card to record, but then I thought about having the window open or something since I only have one monitor and it sucks going back and forth on a PC to PS3. D:
Oh well. Thanks tho. 
When in doubt, check the stickies (and use the existing threads).
