Forum:Capture cards????

Anyone know what types of capture cards I should use? I have an Xbox 360 and wondering what capture cards would work better for it. Also would a picture/video look better if i capture it using hdmi cables in 1080i or 1080p. Dmetal6 04:23, December 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Capture cards I have no info on, but HDMI? Yes, yes YES! I was amazed at my picture quality when I started using an HDMI cable on my PS3. Thecrystalcrow 11:55, December 27, 2010 (UTC)

I'd also like help finding a good video/image capture device too. all i know at this point is that HDMI output from 360 uses a copy protection standard, so one that works with this would be good, i remember trying to watch MadMax on dvd using an vga/rca 360 cable to a monitor and all it would do is display a XBOX360 logo image, but the sound still came out. what i had in mind was a CI card or a PCMCIA card that slotted into the back of my LCD TV directly, utilising those often empty expansion slots on the back of very modern TV's. its just an idea.

If your PC has the proper slot, then get a PCIe capture card (the other options are USB and PCI). It will help with throughput which in turn improves image quality, especially when using HDMI. Aside from that I don't have any specific recommendations. If this is for a laptop, the equivalent to PCIe is ExpressCard. -- 12:47, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
