it was suggested by a guy from UW tourney. I forgot his name it starts with a V kinda hard to remember but hes like the best BlazBlue player and they were using it there and it seems solid.
We actually use these at work to do game captures. They’re really good.
Veteru?
yeah him! lol shout out to venteru for the recommendation on the capture card
I’ll see what I can muster up in terms of donating. That’d be hella tight to record matches/sessions for people to do homework and all that jazz.
That card seems really good, I’ll see if I can’t pitch in some $. I would like to express my appreciation for the current video recording process, as I know it takes some time and effort to get it all done, and the quality is really quite good. The Capture Card will eliminate some hassle and provide a HD quality without any “Cam” business like extra audio, slightly misplaced picture, batteries that die, etc. So thanks Jeff and Crew!
Yeah, the Hauppage is the same stuff that FADC uses I believe, and it’s the one I’ve been planning on getting for a while but haven’t had the opportunity to get.
It’s worth noting though, atleast as it is right now we CANNOT access the Component connections on the main screen at Tournament Wars, and that uses Compoent connections only. So we would have to figure something out in order to get the feed showing properly on the screen. Also, most of our setups are using HDMI and the like. Though I suppose we could try to get a more complicated video solution going - and we probalby need to anyway if we want to start streaming and the like. I don’t know how well the current venue will handle that sort of setup though.
I’ve been thinking of trying out one of these:
My only concern would be potential lag added, but if we used an HDMI splitter before the PC it wouldn’t be a problem. I’d want to test everything out and see what people thought before we had any sort of run on it.
Also, I won’t be able to afford it for quite a while, just had to buy a new 360. :\
i’ll figure something out.
ah i kinda like the hauppauge just because it already converts the videos into H.264 format, which is why people prefer that. i’m sure we can somehow access the component cables in TW tv.
Yeah, the hauppauge is definitely king as far as direct capture goes at the moment.
Is the capture card available at Best Buy? Dustin, Chris?
Best buy doesn’t have the hauppauge - Fry’s has it though. (And realistically, their discount kind of sucks on things like that, because there isn’t much mark-up on it - BB Employee discount is like at cost + 10-15%. Kicks ass on TVs though)
Newegg used ot have it but doesn’t anymore - best price I’ve found so far is Amazon.
Best Buy has it online (currently sold out) for 40-50$ more than amazon.
The iplaywinner guys actually have a fairly decent write up on capture/streaming options:
I think you should change your avatar to that manly roar of victory after you OCV’d.
Reminded me of some 300 shit.
Also, in regards to the capture card, I’m sure I can chip in some cash.
I checked this out for emp. cost back when the season started, and i think it was at $210. But that would require someone ordering it off bby.com and then returning it to the store i’m working at so I could SCOOOP it up after, since it’s not sold in stores.
Oh the bestbuy life that I do not miss. Dustin and Chris are tight though, probably the tightest part about Best Buy.
Hey, what happened to Focus Cancelicious VS ESL part 1 vid?
hrmm. i thought i uploaded it. guess ill have to again. sorry. youtube is being really gay right now.
Primal scream.
