it may be a stupid question but I don't have the money atm to buy a HD TV and a PVR. are there any capture cards that have as good of quality as PVR's? I currently have the best type of dazzle but the quality still isn't good enough for me.
@BattleGB From what I've seen the Pinnacle Video Transfer can give you some crisp SD pictures. However, nothing will make the text as clear as an HD PVR. And, for this, most people don't like the quality of anything but the HD PVR.
@mystery1229 Why would you buy this for an SD TV? You can't really get an HD recording with it on an SD TV unless you spend another $200 on converters.
dude im just gonna be legit and ask, is it possible in any way to record while playing with a 1080p hdmi cable, because thats what ive always done, without the hdmi cable (1080p) im terrible, and now theres really no point to record, so with an xbox 360 is there anyway at all i can play with 1080p hdmi and still record?
@zzoriginalz Unless you have a quadcore computer with an intense GFX card, you wouldn't even be able to start. Plus, you gotta downgrade it in the end anyway. I don't see the point really because the visual difference is so minimal.
@apoclpyespony If you listen to what I say, there's nothing different about it besides on the old 360's you plug the optical cable into the HD cable thingie. If you can't figure that out on your own...
@RoganSarine i think you've never use an HD PVR with a ps3 and 360 because with ps3 u need additional cables however with the 360 u don't u just use the cables the HD PVR I'm just saying that how you connect the HD PVR is that way u mention for the ps3 not 360 360 is different i should know I've connected mine and my friends HD PVR multiple times you're just making things more complicated than they should when connecting the console to the PVR to the tv
@apoclpyespony You must not understand how Im explaining it then. I've set this thing up multiple times across every console known to man... I can't see where there's a "short cut" since I only use 2 cables -- which you have to use.
Hey i got the component cables but theres NO SOUND!!!! i called sony and asked them and they said you cant have sound with component cables!!! I bought 2 opticals and they dont have sound either!!! WTF HELP ME
@GamersDKz Adobe After Effects primarily with some basic filter generators -- It took like 30 seconds to make since I was too lazy to actually make a proper intro.
cdo the component display cables also have sound. i dont get why i have to get audio cables also. and where do i put the audio cables in a ps3. If you look at a picture of the back of a ps3 you'll see an hdmi slot, a slot for the other side of component cables and lan party stuff. Pleas reply im getting mine soon
will windows movie make 2.6 work with the .m2ts format. Also at the end of your video you show the double sided composite cables we should put in xbox-happauge-tv you cant put the yellow red and white cords in a ps3. What should i do
I have a HP Pavillion Entertainment PC/Laptop with Intel 2 core duo and windows 7. On the side it says SD-MS/Pro.MMc. XD. Will the Happuage work with this
so wait.... if im on a regular sd tv, i use the regular red, white, yellow cables on that one side and connect the others to.... ok this is where im kinda confused...
Ok, so if the box captures what you put in which in my case would be standard definition, does that mean it'll be somewhat fuzzy. I mean I have a 42' flat screen standard definition tv and with it capturing whats put in I'm just curious will it capture the standard definition quality of what I see on my tv or a lower quality than what I see?
Even if your TV is 42' flat fullscreen, if it's SD it is using a fixed resolution... I'm gonna assuming it's 480p which is 640x480 which is exactly the resolution the HAVA will record (your TV just blows it up to 42")
If it's widescreen, it'll similarly record 720x480 (and your TV again just blows than up to 42"). So, it is the same picture, but it may LOOK a little blurrier than what your used to on the TV because the CRT may improve the pic
For all intensive purposes, it SHOULD be exactly the same... But there may be some upscaling/picture refinement on the CRT (but that's just hypothesis). The reason I say that is because from when I use a CRT, I generally don't even find anything blurry (mind you, I havn't used a next-gen console on a SD TV), but when I used my HAVA to record in SD... It was fairly blurry at similar resolutions.
This could be, though, because the HAVA hardware isn't as good as the Hauppauge.
Well, how would you get the image on your TV if you planned to do that? If you got a splitter box it'd work.
For a general jist, if you got an SD TV, you'll be forced to record in SD no matter what you get.
The only way it'd work otherwise is if you split the HD xbox connection and sent it to the hauppauge like you say, and then to ANOTHER splitter box that down converted the signal to SD for your TV.
None do... The way stuff is recorded... It can't be done unless you spend an extra $50-100 on a good VGA box or something that is able to downgrade the image after processing.
I havn't gotten a mass-market code discount yet unfortunately since a lot of people don't actually tell me when they buy them, and my video count isn't nearly as high as I thought it'd be.
Sorry, I am new to recording and have a few questions. PLEASE HELP:
1) Is this the cheapest dvr that lets me PLAY IN HD and record in hd. I have a nice tv and would like to use the hd. :) Is it possible to PLAY IN HD with a Dazzle, HAVA, or Blitzbox? I really want to play in hd and record for video games and am not really interested in television or movie recording anyway.
2) Can I use iMovie or Final Cut Express 4
I would appreciate it if somebody could respond. Thanks
Well if you mean that I need the server for storage, that's not a problem because I have an internal hard drive 1TB partitioned into two 500gb partitions, and a 1TB external NDAS hard drive. The RAM and VRAM wouldn't be a problem either; 12 GB of DDR3 and 1GB of VRAM (ATI Radeon 4850 HD).
Oh ok, thanks. I can view videos on YouTube in 1080i with the new beta test of adobe flash player. Maybe they will bring 1080p to YouTube in the future? Anyways, I can't afford this right now. :(
Technically speaking, it's a down conversion because it only has 540 horizontal lines at any given time while 720p has 720 all the time.
However, picture-wise, it arguably has a higher resolution (Besides having some "tearing", I don't think we can notice the difference between progressive and interlaced)
For what it is capable of doing, it is the cheapest capture card on the market. If you have a home theater system, you would regret getting anything else. If you don't, there are better options.
well, I have made videos for alternative solutions, and if you can afford an HDTV... This should be your only option. If you don't... This should never be your option.
Your original comment was worded like you were bashing people who bought it saying it's ludicrous to ever pay that much.
Oh no they can if they want especially if they have it. I just don't think that buying something that records your gameplay which no one cares about except you is worth paying $200. for. Only expressing my opinion. I have a recorder for this. I was searching for a few options for a friend and just stumbled upon this. I'm happy with the quality of my videos even though i suck at most video games I record.
Dude as i said 'm happy with my quality. I don't need super high quality videos of something no one is gonna watch except me. The fact that i export these videos with HD settings in sony vegas is beyond. I don't even know why i do that.
Im just saying you are making it sound like people are retarded. Im saying that if you had a home theater setup, you couldn't live without this. Obviously you don't, so you don't need it =\
No actually I do. It was good for a while. It collects dust. I might wanna set it up again but right now it's just sitting there. I don't have an HDTV but i do have a home theater system. I do own tons of electronic equipment. I just don't buy things i don't deem useful enough for the price. I have a home recording studio to. I'm trying to get rid of some of this crap.
This isn't a HAVA video... HAVA doesn't work on Macs unless you virtualize windows.
You can only plug directly into a PC with the HAVA if you oh shit what was it... static IP the HAVA or something with a cross over cable (not an ethernet cable)
Nope. HDMI recorders -- any of them -- require insane computer specification to run properly. You need high RPM drives, a lot of RAM, and four cores or more.
I highly recommend "downgrading" to component -- If you have a 42" TV or less, it is more or less impossible to notice the difference between 720p and 1080p. Also, with the hauppauge, you can still have 5.1 sound fidelity.
Yes there is. Some SD TV's do have component inputs (like all of mine), just the picture quality wouldn't be anything great.
Or, alternatively, you could buy the hauppauge if you know you're going to upgrade, and then set it up using the front composite jacks like you would a Dazzle. That way, instead of buying a dazzle and a hauppauge, you only need to buy the hauppauge.
If you have an HD TV, if you have surround sound system, if you have a strong computer, if you have the will to spend the money for the better youtube picture -- go for it.
As I've said, the HAVA and Hauppauge are basically the only two logical options. If you say yes to all the above "if's", than go for it.
well im only 15 so im not working yet. i geuss i shall experience this phenomena of cash flow when im 16 or older....If this cash flow is true. then i may get one of these eventually. cause i frequently have my moments in CoD 4... (*no sarcasm included*)
You can't really get a 50 foot USB cable without heavy signal drop off. You'd need 5 repeaters approximately which you can get at monoprice.
USB is only ceritifed to work at like 12 feet maximum or so, so for every time you pass 12 feet you'll need another repeater to keep the signal moderately strong.
I don't know if 5 repeaters would still get you decent quality, but you'd need it.
If your computer is that far away, you should have really not gotten the HD PVR and went with the HAVA.
I kind of stated my opinion within the video. Please watch when I start comparing the two.
Other than that... I have had a lot of problems with the PVR in terms of corrupting my files, so it may give you headaches especially if you have long-winded binges where you record 4 hours of footage only to have it corrupted. (thankfully, I know how to recover the files, but I lose the sharpness of my quality)
i know how u feel when something doesn't go the way u wanted to be... when i bought my hava, i though it recorded in HD and when i recorded some gameplay from call of duty world at war for like 3 to 4 hours of gameplay, it didn't show in REAL HD and i got really mad at that because i though it recorded in HD but i guess Monsoon SUCKS BALLS and the decided to put HD on the logo of the HAVA (HAVA Platinum HD is the name of the HAVA that i bought)
I almost swore you messaged me and I said otherwise (corrected you). It also says that it only records D1 on every product page... HD just means it's HD compliant and since recording isn't a major feature... it doesn't record HD.
HD is just merely for placeshifting and passthrough :P It isn't advertised as a PVR, so it isn't incorrect marketing. As a placeshifter, it is perfectly acceptable.
I don't really find the recovering that bad, just know that it happens.
It's now why I have my hava also backup recording the same stuff incase I can't recover the file -- which I'm amazed I'm the only one with the non-recovery problem.
I've sent 2 support emails to Hauppauge and they're just ignored since I've sent them back 3 units (2 of which simply stopped connecting to my PC after having this problem for a couple months). The PVR was originally sent to me for free, so the repair costing me $30 everytime kinda blows, ha ha.
do u know what sucks??? buying a DAMN capture card that the name of it has the word HD on it and it dosen't record in real HD... i just realized that a week later after i bought my HAVA Platinum for $70 on ebay... right now i feel like im going through a depretion or something cause im really pissed off right now >:/ right now i dont have enough money to buy a new capture card like the one that u have so i can record in HD happily and with no probs... but i guess thats not gonna happened ;(
The pay off for double the price isn't really that much better. I wouldn't feel ripped off at all. I would never spend $200 on a capture card unless I was using a surround sound optical system.
Albeit, I can't say that my videos didn't say otherwise.
Condemned: Bloodshot. I have plans on making a better side-by-side comparison video because condemned isn't the BEST looking game, but I just don't have the time (and at the time... condemned was the only instant where I had the same footage from both devices)
Personally, going from pure footage I've seen of people using it, I don't find the recording quality quite as high as the HAVA and it's also priced a bit more. This could be from bad rendering settings of blitzbox users, but blitzcast is sure taking their sweet time sending me a review unit (About 1 year and 2 months). So right now, I only recommend it if you are not very tech savvy to follow instructions and want a dead-simple live stream capabilities instead of needing to use workarounds.
it may be a stupid question but I don't have the money atm to buy a HD TV and a PVR. are there any capture cards that have as good of quality as PVR's? I currently have the best type of dazzle but the quality still isn't good enough for me.

kuntgames616 2 years ago
$200 is expensive for anyone who is 16 years of age... It's like one or two days of work...
If you have a home theater system, $200 is the least of your worries.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
It's also expensive for poor people and people who can't just blow all there money on petty crap. $200. is not water for me sorry.
kuntgames616 2 years ago
well, I have made videos for alternative solutions, and if you can afford an HDTV... This should be your only option. If you don't... This should never be your option.
Your original comment was worded like you were bashing people who bought it saying it's ludicrous to ever pay that much.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
Oh no they can if they want especially if they have it. I just don't think that buying something that records your gameplay which no one cares about except you is worth paying $200. for. Only expressing my opinion. I have a recorder for this. I was searching for a few options for a friend and just stumbled upon this. I'm happy with the quality of my videos even though i suck at most video games I record.
kuntgames616 2 years ago
As I said, if you have an HDTV and surround sound... You will hate yourself if you have anything else.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
Dude as i said 'm happy with my quality. I don't need super high quality videos of something no one is gonna watch except me. The fact that i export these videos with HD settings in sony vegas is beyond. I don't even know why i do that.
kuntgames616 2 years ago
Im just saying you are making it sound like people are retarded. Im saying that if you had a home theater setup, you couldn't live without this. Obviously you don't, so you don't need it =\
RoganSarine 2 years ago
No actually I do. It was good for a while. It collects dust. I might wanna set it up again but right now it's just sitting there. I don't have an HDTV but i do have a home theater system. I do own tons of electronic equipment. I just don't buy things i don't deem useful enough for the price. I have a home recording studio to. I'm trying to get rid of some of this crap.
kuntgames616 2 years ago
For recording games(Something that is close to pointless but just fun) $200. is expensive.
kuntgames616 2 years ago
Blackmagic pro is 190 on amazon right now check it out before this goes id love to see some videos from you on it
homerstabinbart 2 years ago
Waste of money... It requires such a strong computer and the quality gets compressed to 720p anyway.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
yeah thats what i figured thought id let you know anyways

welcometwothegame 2 years ago
Yeah, this works natively on all windows and MAC os's
RoganSarine 2 years ago
i hav another question about the hava. can u plug the ethernet into ur laptop or pc instead of the router and still record?
shmow2 2 years ago
This isn't a HAVA video... HAVA doesn't work on Macs unless you virtualize windows.
You can only plug directly into a PC with the HAVA if you oh shit what was it... static IP the HAVA or something with a cross over cable (not an ethernet cable)
RoganSarine 2 years ago
do u think if i bought an ethernet to usb adapter i could directly plug it in to the computer and it would wrk instead of the router
shmow2 2 years ago
does hava work with mac?
i mean with a fusion or parallel on it
shmow2 2 years ago
HAVA will only work with a mac if you dual-boot or virtualize it as far as I know. There are some primary windows specific things HAVA uses.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
Oh shit, I thought this was my HAVA video... Yeah, this works natively on MAC OS

What I consider HD would be HDMi, I can afford the Intensity Pro but my computer cant handle it at 3 gigs of ram. Is there any other HDMI recorders?
MWmissions 2 years ago
Nope. HDMI recorders -- any of them -- require insane computer specification to run properly. You need high RPM drives, a lot of RAM, and four cores or more.
I highly recommend "downgrading" to component -- If you have a 42" TV or less, it is more or less impossible to notice the difference between 720p and 1080p. Also, with the hauppauge, you can still have 5.1 sound fidelity.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
This works for video games
SmallGoneBig 2 years ago
If that's a question, yes it does.

Can you play in SD while recording in HD?
ohNOitsPEPPER 2 years ago
No, but why not record HD while playing HD?
If you are suggesting you have an SD TV and you want to record in HD... You physically can't the way TV's are set up.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
#@%!
Oh well, getting an HDtv for x-mas
ohNOitsPEPPER 2 years ago
w8 i am kind of confused so if you have a Standard Definition tv there is no possible way recording with the happauge
SmallGoneBig 2 years ago
Yes there is. Some SD TV's do have component inputs (like all of mine), just the picture quality wouldn't be anything great.
Or, alternatively, you could buy the hauppauge if you know you're going to upgrade, and then set it up using the front composite jacks like you would a Dazzle. That way, instead of buying a dazzle and a hauppauge, you only need to buy the hauppauge.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
whats better quality hava platinum or hava titanium?
iDazFx 2 years ago
They are the same.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
Hey RoganSarine!
I have sold my HAVA HD and now im thinking of buying Hauppauge HD, is it a good idea? or maybe should i buy something else?
Thanks!
ziomalther 2 years ago
If you have an HD TV, if you have surround sound system, if you have a strong computer, if you have the will to spend the money for the better youtube picture -- go for it.
As I've said, the HAVA and Hauppauge are basically the only two logical options. If you say yes to all the above "if's", than go for it.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
I bought a black dazzle today because i have to have some money for Modern warfare 2, the dazzle isnt that bad too :P Thanks!
ziomalther 2 years ago
I have no idea why you'd switch them... But alright.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
Switched what?
ziomalther 2 years ago
well im only 15 so im not working yet. i geuss i shall experience this phenomena of cash flow when im 16 or older....If this cash flow is true. then i may get one of these eventually. cause i frequently have my moments in CoD 4... (*no sarcasm included*)
DeweyDud3 2 years ago
why would you spend that much money first of all just for recording something....unless you're famous or something.
DeweyDud3 2 years ago
$200 is not very much money if you're working to be honest... And HD gives you way more options than SD -- to he his own.
It is also the only thing with optical pass through, so it's really your only option if you are using a surround sound system.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
ONLY 200 DOLLARS!!!! WHAT A DEAL!!! *sarcasm*
DeweyDud3 2 years ago
Obviously you arnt good at comparing it to what else things cost.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
What'd be the point? Yes, but you have to set it up like a DAzzle like I say in the video.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
Great vid! I subbed! And a question...Does the format work with sony Vegas 9???

so i ordered this
and i was wondering would i need
a usb cord able to reach from my box to my comp cause mines is like 50 foot away
and if it does do you know where i can get one of those at ??
hoysendit 2 years ago
You can't really get a 50 foot USB cable without heavy signal drop off. You'd need 5 repeaters approximately which you can get at monoprice.
USB is only ceritifed to work at like 12 feet maximum or so, so for every time you pass 12 feet you'll need another repeater to keep the signal moderately strong.
I don't know if 5 repeaters would still get you decent quality, but you'd need it.
If your computer is that far away, you should have really not gotten the HD PVR and went with the HAVA.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
What do do you mean by intel macs, sorry I do not know what that means.
TwickyShmalls 2 years ago
Macs with intel processors... Within the last 2 years or so.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
which do u think is better... Monsoon HAVA or this???
vickomf 2 years ago
I kind of stated my opinion within the video. Please watch when I start comparing the two.
Other than that... I have had a lot of problems with the PVR in terms of corrupting my files, so it may give you headaches especially if you have long-winded binges where you record 4 hours of footage only to have it corrupted. (thankfully, I know how to recover the files, but I lose the sharpness of my quality)
RoganSarine 2 years ago
i know how u feel when something doesn't go the way u wanted to be... when i bought my hava, i though it recorded in HD and when i recorded some gameplay from call of duty world at war for like 3 to 4 hours of gameplay, it didn't show in REAL HD and i got really mad at that because i though it recorded in HD but i guess Monsoon SUCKS BALLS and the decided to put HD on the logo of the HAVA (HAVA Platinum HD is the name of the HAVA that i bought)
vickomf 2 years ago
I almost swore you messaged me and I said otherwise (corrected you). It also says that it only records D1 on every product page... HD just means it's HD compliant and since recording isn't a major feature... it doesn't record HD.
HD is just merely for placeshifting and passthrough :P It isn't advertised as a PVR, so it isn't incorrect marketing. As a placeshifter, it is perfectly acceptable.
I don't really find the recovering that bad, just know that it happens.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
It's now why I have my hava also backup recording the same stuff incase I can't recover the file -- which I'm amazed I'm the only one with the non-recovery problem.
I've sent 2 support emails to Hauppauge and they're just ignored since I've sent them back 3 units (2 of which simply stopped connecting to my PC after having this problem for a couple months). The PVR was originally sent to me for free, so the repair costing me $30 everytime kinda blows, ha ha.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
do u know what sucks??? buying a DAMN capture card that the name of it has the word HD on it and it dosen't record in real HD... i just realized that a week later after i bought my HAVA Platinum for $70 on ebay... right now i feel like im going through a depretion or something cause im really pissed off right now >:/ right now i dont have enough money to buy a new capture card like the one that u have so i can record in HD happily and with no probs... but i guess thats not gonna happened ;(
vickomf 2 years ago
The pay off for double the price isn't really that much better. I wouldn't feel ripped off at all. I would never spend $200 on a capture card unless I was using a surround sound optical system.
Albeit, I can't say that my videos didn't say otherwise.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
so would a dazzle be ok if you dont have an hd tv
FrodosGameCast 2 years ago
No. Watch my other video.
If you are deadset on getting something from pinnacle studios... their pinnacle video transfer is cheaper and better than the dazzle.
RoganSarine 2 years ago
ill look into it but i need something kind of cheap perferably under 100$ but i know that will be hard to find
FrodosGameCast 2 years ago
does it come with software
FrodosGameCast 2 years ago
Does what come with software? I dunno. Go to the manufac's website -- it should.

wuts that game at the end?
djb103 2 years ago
Condemned: Bloodshot. I have plans on making a better side-by-side comparison video because condemned isn't the BEST looking game, but I just don't have the time (and at the time... condemned was the only instant where I had the same footage from both devices)
RoganSarine 2 years ago
oh ok. i only asked cuz it looks kinda cool.
also, this is a vid about HD, do u have windows vista? cuz i need windows movie maker 6 to make HD movies but i cant find a download
djb103 2 years ago
is the blitzbox ok?
TheShantaBu 2 years ago
Personally, going from pure footage I've seen of people using it, I don't find the recording quality quite as high as the HAVA and it's also priced a bit more. This could be from bad rendering settings of blitzbox users, but blitzcast is sure taking their sweet time sending me a review unit (About 1 year and 2 months). So right now, I only recommend it if you are not very tech savvy to follow instructions and want a dead-simple live stream capabilities instead of needing to use workarounds.
