Capture Card

[SuperCrofty]

I'm currently looking for a capture card for PS3 but I do not really know what one to get. Price range £20-£25 and okish graphics (Don't know if thats the card or editing software) preferably with editing sofwatre and cables included. Help would be much appreciated.

EasyCap? The cheapest and not too bad I've heard. Or if you want to spend a bit more try some form of Dazzle. And if you want HD then go for the Hauppauge.

Dont bother with Easy cap or dazzle as you will have to play in SD which sucks.

Hauppauge is the best out there for the average gamer but that is going to cost you about £140-150. Which is expensive in my eyes.

I went for a midrange capture device called the Hava. Here is a link:

If thats not allowed just search for my youtube id: Demondoguk (Please delete link if that its not allowed)

Gives you an idea of the quality and you can play in full HD. This doesnt capture in full HD but I think the quality is fine.

Hava's cost between £10 and about 60 on the bay.

Hope that helps.

I suggest avoiding the black magic pro it was a massive fail for me. Ive heard good things about the hauppauge pvr though.

SD = Standard definition.

Standard Definition. If you only have a SD tv then Easy Cap or dazzle would be your best choice. Dazzle being better but more expensive.

Don't bother with the easycap. One of the most horrible pieces of kit I have ever had to use.
