TEST 2 = raw 1280x720, 60fps, unknown bitrate, 800MB, .AVI, capture file converted to 1280x720, 30fps, 7027kbps bitrate, 50MB, .WMV using Windows Movie Maker, uploaded to YouTube.
(This video.)

TEST RESULTS:

TEST 1 = FAIL: YouTube cannot handle the raw capture file and creates a horizontal scanline distortion effect. Ugly.

TEST 2 = WIN: YouTube handles the Windows Movie Maker file perfectly. It's beautiful.

Recorded using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card and a four 7,200 RPM HD RAID-0 array Dell Precision T3400 workstation. We use this system to record professional game footage of our own games. Let me know what you think of the quality.

I am an indie game developer, part of a two-man team called XONA GAMES. We make Xbox LIVE games. Our current project is a 2D arcade shoot'em up, DUALITY ZF. It features 4x multiplayer and dual play, the ability to control two ships at the same time. Check it out:

Holy shit, do cars really wheelstand?

[matthewdoucette]

you mean at 1:35? i don't know, but i want to find out!

[YBK650]

hey so ive got a few ??? 1st will this cap card work if i dnt raid cuz i was jus gna use a 1tb for storage

2. how would u compare this to the hauppaugue hd pvr ive heard a lot of people had problems with black magic ...like black screens ect. cuz i had a hauppaugue hd pvr but it felt like there was so many cords....maybeyou can do a quality test tutorial lol cuz some videos i see with black magic look horrible n urs look great thanks

[matthewdoucette]

1) the intensity pro will work without raid, but it will probably skip frames or lag out the audio. on my previous single 7,200 RPM HD system i could get it to never skip frames (it would happen occassionally) but the audio would lag out, because what happens is if the HD doesn't have time to write the audio for the given frame, and the next frame is ready, it drops the audio, so after a lot of time the audio is cut back and back and lags out upon play back. continued...

[matthewdoucette]

1) continued... after an hour capture the audio was lagged behind by 20..30 minutes. if you watch my short geometry wars videos you can see the audio lags a fraction of a second even for short 10..20 minute videos. it would change depending on the game captured (some games have "bigger" frame captures in terms of bytes. continued...

[matthewdoucette]

1) continued... black magic suggested a MINIMUM four hard drive raid-0 array, which is what i have now, and it appears to work fine. i occasinally drop frames so if you are really picky i would go with 10,000 RPM hard drives to get extra speed.

2) i have no experience with the hauppaugue. i have never heard of it. all i know is i get the results above with my setup, and i am more than happy with it. just look at it. it's amazing quality. check out my other forza 3 vids (test 2/2) for more

pls tell me the what the music's name! :( :(

[Corvette680]

@WombatStuu Yes. They can, only if you tune them right. I tuned mine cos I wanted a better feel of the car, and my car unexpectedly done a wheelstand. At the start of a race.
