Hellooo

I'm looking for a video capture card to record footage from my 360. I'm not toobothered about quality/resolution since these videos will only be put on Youtube. Anyone here know about this kind of stuff that could recommend me a decent mid range card for this purpose and perhaps explain how exactly this works, how it is setup..etc Everything I need?

Thanksssor

BlackMagic Intesity for just HDMI or BlackMagic Intensity Pro if you want HDMI and Component.

I have the Pro version and use it for recording both 360 and PS3 videos.

The Intensity Cards work really well and the included software makes capturing very simple. You'll need a fast CPU if you want to capture in HD (compressed) or a hefty disc array if you're capturing uncompressed HD.

However if you're only doing standard def for youtube you can get away with much more modest system specs. It's also worth noting that the Intensity won't capture 480p, so you'll be stuck with interlaced when not working with HD video.
