[Intimidator88]

Ok guys im looking to buy something that will enable me to record games im playing from my 360/ps3/other ect... Do i have to buy a device or download software? Id like to edit it up some and for it to be in HD as well.

I believe the Hauppauge HD PVR and the Blackmagic series are the best for recording from HD sources. Keep in mind any of the external HD PVRs probably need USB3.0 and a rather specific motherboard to actually function.

So i need to invest in a high tech pc and the recorder?

High-tech PC or a recorder.

So if i get a HD PVR im going to need a high tech pc? Idk much about these all i wanna do is record hd gameplay and edit it on my pc and maybe youtube them.

No, you don't need a high end PC to use the HD PVR, although for video editing...

To use blackmagic or an internal capture card you will need a powerful pc. An average machine can easily record hd. The AverTV records directly to an HDD you won't even need a PC.

I'm curious to this myself, as I have a Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II myself. Only thing I need is a secondary program to capture stuff as Media Center has the two-second delay that makes playing games impossible. And I'd like to be able to record games from my Wii and 360 using my card.

Ok so how powerful of a pc would i need to be able to edit the video from recorder? Should i get a local shop build me 1 for a good price or buy 1 online?

You don't need a powerful PC to record, IF you get the Hauppauge HD PVR or AverTV USB HD, but for video editing. Even the video editing softwares like Vegas, PowerStudio, Camtasia, etc have requirements.

Your average PC can edit just fine, but multitasking during rendering can be limited depending on your specs
