Capture Card

I am looking for a USB 2.0 capture card for to record in game play.

I did google the item and found that the KWorld USB 2.0 seems to be the best at an affordable price.

Anyone else have recommendations?

Edit: I also thought about the Pinnacle Studio Moviebox USB 2.0 but I'm not sure if that's worth the money.

If you're talking about just recording video from a PC game in-game, just download fraps from http://fraps.com/

If you are just recording and NOT using it to actually play, most any will work.

If you are PLAYING off of that tuner, then you do NOT want a USB tuner. It will lag horribly and will be unplayable.

Really? I've seen videos of people playing with even Gamebridge where it didn't lag.

Edit: This video was supposedly taken with Pinnacle.



It is the best quality of Brawl recorded I've seen.

I don't think you understand. The recording will come out fine, but if you are watching it live (as in, playing it on your PC), you will notice a good 1-3 seconds of lag. It gets even worse with tuners that have hardware encoders on them.

So what is the best way to go?

I remember back in the day when I used to hook my Sega Genesis to my VCR and record myself playing a game. Work fairly well (for a VCR at least). I have no idea if that would still work with today's technology. If it still does, I suggest you try to do that but use a DVD recorder and try to convert the DVD to a video format like MPEG to use on your computer.
