Video Capture Gaming Device of your choice thread

[Gatucaman]

I am not entirely sure if this is the right place to discuss this, but i got earlier as a gift my first capture device ever.

it's a Honestech VHS to DVD 8.0 plus, looks neat, and i do hope that for the price it actually works.

and i actually took a small test using the built-in software, and well, the results are a bit mixed up, but could been worse, it does the work, but judge for yourselves.

is there any alternatives, especially to get proper footage on my PC?

The only video capture device I had used was Dazzle. Could be a good device, except for its one MINOR flaw that randomly the audio input GETS ASSIGNED TO AN INVALID PORT and thus stops working (but the video capture still works). Did they bother to fix that on newer OSes (as I know they didn't on XP)? I know there were some apps written to fix that but I hadn't had luck with it, at least on XP.

I have a slew of PCI NTSC tv capture cards. I think the best I used was a tv anywhere card from msi. I've gotten some others since then that I haven't used but I will soon since the tv anywhere isn't supported by anything any more.

The tv capture cards I have use both coax and composite so I can get systems with rf out only if I need to and don't have to hassle with A/V mods.

Should be great when I try to play conquest of the world on odyssey2

Some Twitch folks suggested the GV-USB2. I got it and it seems to work okay for OBS. Its composite and S-Video only. It took some guesswork to try to install the Japanese drivers since I couldn't read the menus. And it took some fudging with the resolution settings until I got a picture. I'd like to find something for Mac though.

I have one of these and I love it so much. I can play games while I capture on my PC using the preview window on my PC. Very expensive though but it can capture almost anything you like.

Don't have a setup, but if I did it would be RGB > Framemeister > Elgato Game Capture HD60. The native Framemeister up-res would look far better than your computer upscaling a small video, and you get 60fps, which is necessary for classic games.

This is also like, a $400+ solution...
