I have the Hauppage HD PVR and this thing looks amazing. I wish I was able to purchase it. Although I dont record as much as I thought I would.

Question, it has HDMI, but can it get around PS3's protected content thing? (i.e. I have an HDMI Black Magic but I have to use component to capture my PS3). Regardless, thanks for sharing, nice to see something new on the market finally for video capture. It's been awhile since something "modern" has been released in the world of affordable HD video capture.

Not sure about the PS3 ima 360 owner. Just wanted to let you guys know about this awesome deal. Hopefully my tax money comes this week so I can preorder this thing lol.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Cant wait to order one.

That thing looks awesome. What kind of things do you plan on recording?

 

[odingalt]

I might buy one anyways because my Black Magic card regularly causes my computer to crash and was even the source of two hard drive failures (somehow I think there gets to be an IRQ conflict between the card and the hard drives and I blame Black Magic's buggy firmware/drivers)

does this work on laptops cause the black magic can ony be used on pc???

Are you saying a mac because a PC and a laptop both run windows so I couldnt see why it didnt work?

Only problem I see here is it isn't Mac compatible which really kills me. I have a mac and ofcourse i do have bootcamp on it with windows 7 but windows is just terrible!!! I stream using my hd pvr on my mac and its smooth sailing. Never freezes and its just awesome!!! I am a computer person so ofcourse I used pcs my whole life and i know more about pcs then mac. Most of my experience is in pcs but i can tell you macs are just awesome way better more solid operating system and definitely way more stable.

How do you live stream with your HD PVR mac setup?

How do you live stream with your HD PVR mac setup?

I use a program called EyeTv which detects the HD PVR I then use CamTwist to capture the EyeTv. Then I used Adobe Flash Media Encoder to stream. In the background you need a program called sound flower running basically takes audio and puts it into a channel. And then If you want people to hear you talk while you play you use Audio Hi Jack Pro which takes audio from multiple sources and then you output it to the Sound flower channel. Let me know if that made sense or not. I am really good when it comes to streaming.

 

[MJ23KB24]

Really all I want to do is record on my mac can that be accomplished with eyeTV?

 

[GJUnLeAsHeD]

Do what i did not buy a mac

 

[xxVIKINGxx]

na I have a windows laptop

 

[MJ23KB24]

I have a windows tower and a little macbook air. I personally love both OS I think one of each really works out.

I recently purchased a Hauppage HD PVR to capture some game video. I am computer illiterate, but my wife is a genius. She also purchased an external hard drive for our PC tower computer (Dell???). I also have an APPLE MacBook Pro (17 inch) with iMovie on it. I record the video on the external hard drive and transfer it to the APPLE. She installed a program called Bigasoft iMovie Converter. Personally I find it much easier to edit with the iMovie (currently running 09 and saving up for 11). I have posted some game video on You Tube under ChiCubsFan14. My macro controller is featured while using the MK14. Check it out and let me know what you think about the video quality. Any comments, suggestions or hates would be appreciated.

I finally figured it out I use EyeTV on my macbook air and then edit with IMovie. It works pretty well since EyeTV will make a timeline of when you started recording then you can go back and record something to your hard drive and the timeline wont save to your hard drive I love it. I will also check out your quality.
