    Response to my previous..
    If you guys are ever interested in the 50$ capture device I dug up some links.

    You'll need an S-Video Cable:

    Three Female Splitters:

    And a Dazzle DVC 100:

    Prices seem to change often on amazon, I got everything here for 50$ even a few years back.
    Should run you like 70$ now, which isn't bad if you know how to boost quality.
    Other Devices are up to 150$ Plus
    It's just about formats and settings..
    it'll save you so much money if you have a decent computer to boost the quality.
    and thus;;


    Reference videos:

    Just skip a few seconds in, look at the picture and close it, then look at the next one.

    Recent Skate Video,

    Old Skate Tutorial,

    In comparison;
    As you can see, A decent computer setup and the right program & settings, can get it looking pretty damn good.

    If anyone wants to know what settings I use, How to setup the capture device, etc.
    Just hit me up. It's really very simple once you understand it.

    Hope it helps someone.

    Hey, there's an option.
    Good stuff Man.

    You use craigslist much?
    I don't know that I trust people that much anymore haha.

    Do you need certain PC specs for the pvr as well?
    Only reason I was suggesting sub-par capture devices.

    honestly Ive had really good luck with Craigslist, mostly computer stuff and cars (also bought my xbox and pvr from there)
    I really like it, just gotta talk with the people for a few days to make sure they arent going to do something wild

    aywho from what Ive read and heard the HdPvr specifically doesnt harness much CPU/RAM Power, so it actually works rather good on lower end PCs
    I have a Mac though so I cant confirm this... but even on my mac my Pvr seems to run smoother than my Easycap

    dont be sketched of CL, its really awesome I think
