Can I record my gameplay on ps3 over to my mac with this gadet?

[motd614]

No. You still need a PVR. Turbo HD.264 is only used to encode videos at a way faster speed. I use hauppauge HD PVR with el Gato's EyeTV. pricey set-up, but worth every it.

@motd614 Worth every ¢.. For me, it's already paid for it's self in the time I've saved using it.

[DizzyDougTV]

@sondre2009 Nope.

Great video; exactly what I was looking to find. Do you find that these numbers hold up during longer video conversions - Say a 15-20 minute video?

[DizzyDougTV]

Thanks. Absolutely it is. 2 minutes or 20. Doesn't matter. It crunches video..

May I ask you what processor and GPU is in your MacBook (Pro)?

@abel41144114 this dongle is aimed at macbooks etc not really 8 core monsters.

[magicalhats]

hey Michael i know you own this, i was wondering if there is anyway to encode using the turbo while limited CPU usage. i know this while slow down my production time just a tad, but i'm looking to avoid macbook heat.
