I agree with Jebs, do we get to see some new vids?

[SeksulChokolate]

That's crazy you decided to pop in because I was JUST watching some of your parts earlier on today. Welcome back, Rip!

Thanks for the love guys, I'll def be poking around here once a week. I also just saw that game that Demz was talking about, I got pretty damn hyped reading about it.

Riper report #2 ruled!!

Hahah I was JUST listening to all of those the other day. I loved doing those, I think we spoke for almost two hours.

I agree with Jebs, do we get to see some new vids?

I'm going on vacation for the next two weeks, when I come back I'll def make it happen. I assume skate.reel is down though, can you recommend a good capture card?

[emericaridr11]

can you recommend a good capture card?
Me: "OH BOY"

Plenty of Options

Hauppauge Hd Pvr's
- HD Pvr 1212 : 720p/60fps - Component - Software "Arcsoft Total Media Extreme" (older but efficient) - PC/Mac - $150
- HD Pvr 2 Gaming Edition : 1080p/30fps - HDMI (with A/V In for Ps3 to connect Component) - Software "Hauppauge Capture" - PC/Mac (mac if you have Gaming Edition Plus) - $170
- HD Pvr Rocket Portable : 1080p/30fps - HDMI (with A/V In for Ps3 to connect Component) - Software "Hauppauge Capture" - PC - Save to USB Stick - $150

Pvr's are wild (the newer the better quality, even in the sound quality, but not by "too" much)

---

Elgato Game Capture HD - PC/Mac - $180
1080p/30fps - HDMI (with A/V In for Ps3 to connect Component) - Software "Game Capture HD"

main selling point of these is the Software I think (quality is good too) and the size of the device, its small
this Program has "Flashback Recording" which means it captures up to 30 Mins of gameplay, you then can roll back and set markers to record what ever clips within that time (unlike others which are just a Record button, no live feed thing... start/stop)

---

Blackmagic Design Intensity - PC/Mac (heard mac was goofy though)
- Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 : 1080p/30fps - HDMI/Component - $199
- Intensity Shuttle for Thunderbolt : 1080p/30fps - HDMI/Component - $240

---

Avermedia - PC/Mac - Software "RECentral"
- Game Capture HD : 1080p/30fps - Component - Record without a PC (record to hard drive) - $120
- Game Capture 2 - 1080p/30fps - HDMI - Smart Phone App - $150
- Live Gamer Portable - 1080p/30fps - HDMI (with A/V In for Ps3 to connect Component) - record to Usb stick - $160

---

Roxio Game Capture Hd Pro - PC - $120
1080p/30fps - HDMI/Component

---

tons of options.....
if your PC you can get away with most anything probably, if your Mac... Id stick to 3 options really

PC
1. $170 - HD Pvr 2 Gaming Edition (better encoding algorithm, decent Software)
2. $180 - Elgato (great Software, small and portable)
3. $180 - Avermedia Live Gamer Portable (save to usb, portable, newer hardware)
3. $199 - Blackmagic Design (quality, if you can do USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt)


Mac
1. $180 - Elgato (most Mac friendly device, great software, 1080p)
2. $150 - HD Pvr 1212 (only 720p, amazing Software for mac)
3. $120 - Avermedia (good quality, save to hard drive)

I have mac and just got the HD Pvr 2 GE Plus and the Software was Horrendous... so I returned it right away and went back to my old Pvr 1212 cause the Mac Software also has that "Flashback Recording" (much better in my case)

A better/easier Editing experience was more important to me than Pure Quality of the Clips, something to think about
also Plenty of CrapCards out there too, for under $60....... sorry for novel, plenty of info for ANYONE if they looking
