Title: What recording equipment do you guys use?? Post by: Childlink9999 on December 04, 2011, 11:30:04 AM I've heard DVD recorders are pretty good and I've tried capture cards and the quality was pretty bad, are there any specific DVD recorders you would recommend or any other type of recording equipment??

Its worked great for a few years, but most people seem to be moving to capture cards like Dazzle DVC100, though you'll need splitters to play on your TV and record on your computer at the same time.

Title: Re: What recording equipment do you guys use?? Post by: Pheenoh on December 05, 2011, 04:16:11 PM If you're just streaming or recording for fun, capture cards are the way to go. DVD recorders might be better if you're intending to submit a run to SDA, or something along those lines. Some capture cards tend to drop alot of frames, unless you've got a beefy computer.

Post by: Childlink9999 on December 05, 2011, 10:21:38 PM Yeah i'm going for a serious run actually so unless there's a capture card up to SDA quality i'll get a DVD recorder... on that note kind of off topic but is there anything i need to do to prove it's not cheating or anything i.e prove it's not on an emulator??

but, i use a easycap, running nate (of sda)'s custom made driver (& recording software) called norichan. then to stream it, i just screen caption in xsplit the preview window + crop the borders.

Would you recommend a Dazzle or an EzCap? Is the lag too great so you have to use a splitter or is it fine to just go directly from console -> computer? Also I have Win7 64 bit. It has to work with my system so any recommendations would be great.. Right now I'm also thinking about Hauppauge WinTV USB-Live2. Any experience with it? Title: Re: What recording equipment do you guys use?? Post by: ING-X on January 10, 2012, 12:26:58 PM Easycap has some massive compatibility issues with win7 64 bit from my experience, and Dazzle is way better anyway, so I would say just go with Dazzle.
Title: Re: What recording equipment do you guys use?? Post by: DJS on January 10, 2012, 04:51:49 PM if you can just go with the dazzle.
as ing said, easycap does have some compatibility issues with windows 7 (i moved over from the custom driver to a original one, took me like 1 hour to find one that works.) but if you use the custom driver "norichan", its really simple installation on any os. but yeah, if you can go with the dazzle (im not sure which dazzle though, iirc dvc100 is the only good one) |
