Gaming Need a good USB capture card

[person66]

Well, if you don't mind, I am going to hijack this thread.

I have been looking for something to record my games in HD (right now I just have one of those cheap easycap things, which are shit) and I stumbled upon this: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?...N82E16815100049

I just wanted to know if anyone has tried this, and/or if it would work for me?

BTW, I'm using Win 7 64-bit

So what exactly is the best option not to have lag? If I'm not recording, will it still lag, or not?
If you're still asking this question, it's because you didn't bother looking at the thread i posted earlier, here it is (again):

(you'll find a list of suggested product inside)
Lag is independent from whether you're recording or not, it is simply because of how it works.

If your computer is strong enough, i don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Look at the feedback left on newegg, it's pretty informative on the problems most consumer encounter.

It'll still lag over USB IIRC, and it's more of a latency issue. It'll take a second or so for a movement on your controller to register on the screen,

The best thing to do is go internal, not USB.

I tried it with a pci and a pcie video capture card and they lag too, I can't say if it's worse than usb though.

The internal ones generally have a "game mode" that turns off most post-processing the card does and just passes the data right to the PC, and then it's up to software on the PC to do the recording with the stream (some screen recorder), not software on/for the card.

Thanks, I didn't see that. It looks like I'll probably get it.

Well (AT LEAST ME) while I'm recording and not recording I can play without lag on my PC thats how I use my CaptureCard cuz I dont have the splitters
I use VirtualDub
