Best way to record PS3?

Hey guys, whats the best way for me to do this? Hoping to be able to record in 1080p through HDMI with sound if possible.

Cheers

I have not done this myself as i found it to be too expensive for me, but from what i found you would need a pci card similar to BlackMagic Intensity Pro HDMI Capture Card. These type of card will probably set you back about £100.

There may be other ways to get 1080p, but the reason i wanted hdmi was not just for 1080p, but because i play my consoles on a pc monitor so cant use a component cable as i have no tv to plug into

although i did try component/composite (not sure which one lol) to vga, but turns out that doesnt work without a converter box /facepalm.

Or Black Magic Intensity pro (PCI) or shuttle (USB 3)

Both about £150

The latter is fairly computer dependant. I.e. it has to be good.

Hence I use a Hapaugge HD PVR! Except rendering is sloooow and i want to upgrade!

Hmm, have you read this? http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/bdsettings.html
I suppose this might do some help for you

oh thats a point. You may find problems using the HDMI to record PS3 as it's all hdcp encoded therefore you also need a hdmi stripper work around.

On xbox i find no difference between component HD and HDMI tbh. So maybe just ditch the hdmi if the work around seems a prob?
