K-World USB 2.0
Costs like $20-40
Plug in your composite cables into the jacks, plug the USB port in your PC. Capture the video instantly. Got it at CompUSA.
Simple as that.
If you want to go all out and buy an HD capture card, however, that captures up to 1080p HDMI signals, get the BlackMagic card for $300.
I have been thinking about buying that Black Magic Card Capture for $300.
DEFINITELY get it if you can.
It's one of the only cards available that provide up to full 1080p HDMI or Component video capture on your PC.
Does the game lag when you play via USB card capture?
Well first of all, the BlackMagic card is NOT USB, it's an actual card you put in your PCI-E port in your PC.
With the BlackMagic card, no there's usually no lag, unless your computer isn't powerful enough.
I suggest not capturing video game gameplay at 720p/1080p unless you have a fast CPU/RAM/GPU, (I'd say 3.0GHZ Dual-Core CPU or better, 2GB of RAM or better, and a 128mb GPU or better) otherwise your computer will freeze as it tries to compress and capture the video.
As for the K-World USB 2.0 and probably other USB capture devices. No, there's no lag, unless you try to capture at a quality higher than your computer can handle normally.
They are $150 at Best Buy, and records up to 10000 Kb/s
Waste of money. If I'm not mistaken, the kbps rate doesn't determine the actual pixel quality or anything, and most full-length movies don't even need to be captured at a kbps quality higher than 2-5,000kbps.
Tough I have to admit it's one of the best youtube record I have ever seen.
Quality of a YouTube video has to do with what settings the user compress and rendered his video at.
Does the KWorld USB 2.0 record audio?
Of course,, there's a black plug hanging from the device where you insert Left and Right audio (the red and white cables).
My only problem is trying to make my vids not look like crap once I upload them to youtube.
Good settings for YouTube:
Save at about:
1000kbps
320x240
VBR at about 90% 44hz (if not, 128kbps shoudl be good)
30fps.
