Capture card for ps3?

I'm looking for a good/cheap capture card to make exo videos in the future. Any suggestions or info?

A capture card would be quite useful. I am also interested to see what suggestions others might have.

Yep, much better than using my camera and holding it still to focus on the tv lol. Spadez should get one too

lmao yeah they would totally come in handy. I can imagine how hard it is to do a glitch vid while holding a cam.

It's a pain, I always wanted to do a picture-in-picture glitch tutorial video. One small screen on my hands with the remote and another with the action going on. Would have been better though for back on the days because not much people knew how to wiggle lol

That would have made things alot better. Ppl could have seen the C shaped pop for the piano etc.

HD PVR is the world’s first High-Definition video recorder for making real-time H.264 compressed recordings at resolutions up to 1080i. HD-PVR records component video (YCrCb) from cable TV and satellite set top boxes, with a built-in IR blaster to automatically change TV channels for scheduled recordings. Audio is recorded using AAC or Dolby Digital .

The recording format is AVCHD, which can be used to burn Blu-ray DVD disks. Two hours of HD recordings, recorded at 5 Mbits/sec, can be burnt onto a standard 4.7 GByte DVD-R or DVD-RW disk for playback on a Blu-ray DVD player.
Record your video game play

One of the popular uses for the HD PVR is for recording video gameplay. As said on GeekTonic:
"Now I think anyone watching me play videogames is a sure-fire way to put them to sleep – or at least laugh at my videogame performance. But I know there is a very large number of videogamers using the HD-PVR to record their video gameplay."
Create your own video library

The HD PVRs amazing recording quality allows personal archival of your favorite high definition TV programs from any component video HD set top box. The HD PVR also has standard definition composite and S-Video inputs so you can record your old home video tapes into an AVCHD format for creating Blu-ray DVD recordings.

Record formats

There are three H.264 formats you can choose when recording a video:

* .TS, which is a generic 'transport stream' compatible with many digital media players
* .M2TS, which is compatible with the Sony Playstation3
* .MP4, which is compatible with the XBox360

The .TS and .M2TS files are AVCHD compatible, and can be used to burn Blu-ray compatible disk recordings. These files can be burned onto a standard DVD+R or DVD+RW disk for playback in a Blu-ray disk player using the included Arcsoft TME Disk Create application. Approximately 2 hours of HD TV recorded at 5Mbits/sec can be put onto a standard DVD+R or DVD+RW disk.

The included TME Media Converter program may also be used to convert the .TS file to other formats compatible for playback on an iPhone and Ipod.

lol nice. I've tried this once using the ps3 on a buddies computer when i stayed with him for a while, since he had the inputs - the thing with that was the video would be 3 seconds delay to even do anything. So it wasn't any good. I don't record nor do i find the need to. But to have the info here is good to know.

ive been looking for these captures cards i nthe store but looks like they dont selll them in my region, i want 1 because i wanna make better home videos and upload them to my youtube channel , my digital camera is old and sucky.

so you can mod a PS3?

noo dood, you use a capture card to record exact the same thing you are watching on the tv and looks way much better than recording the tv screen ,obvisuly, the image information is being transmiteed to the capture card...so its the same thing youll watch on tv, is really cool, everyone haves or want one to make their very own machinima videos.

ok now im fully getting ps3 if voted good on my post
