Capture Card

I've been having a good experience with AverMedia products. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Avermedia

If you have PCI-E slots available, you could save some money and get a internal capture card. Otherwise, you'll need to shell out the extra cash for the DVR type of box. Sadly, for a decent HDMI compatible capture card, it gets up there in price.

For reference: This is my capture card.

This can be a bit challenging, especially if you don't have any video experience. You can definitely just point a camera at the screen, but thats not the best way.

1. Problem 1- You need to get the signal from the PS3 into a format that you can capture. The PS3 can go up to 1080p, but Battlefield sets the max at 720p, 60fps (frames per second) and uses HDCP, which is an encryption method so you won't be able to capture the HDMI directly.
   
   
2. Problem 2- You need a good capture card that can handle HD.
   
   I use this to solve problem 1- HDMI Splitter One output to my TV, one to my Capture device. I connect the HDMI to this- HDMI to Component converter This strips HDCP and gives you a clean, HD component signal. The flow is PS3-HDMI-->Splitter-->TV and Splitter-->Converter-->recording device
   
   I have access to a broadcast quality HD encoder so I don't have any recommendations for the actual capture device, but a quick google search found this- Aver Media
   
   Some people have used this- Hauppauge Gaming Capture card Its input is component so you need the stuff above. The diagrams on their site show you using component through their device to the TV, I like splitting the HDMI better.
   
   BTW- Monoprice.com is a great place to buy all the cables you will need also. HDMI, component, etc..

I'm pretty happy with my Avermedia C027. I've got a pair of them.

I use one of the AverTV cards. Here's the link for it on Amazon:

Need a reasonable quad core comp to stream with it.

if you want to actually have a window on your PC that is the wiiU instead of just unplugging your computer from the monitor your computer needs to have a capture card. I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SQE1O0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 specifically for that purpose with my switch. But if you're not a techy person then that's probably expensive and installing it would be difficult

I use an AverTV that I bought second-hand. It captures videos just fine. Here's a DubWars video I did a couple weeks ago (non-compressed also).

Dis one^

You are welcome! Do you know your Graphics Card or whether you have HDMI outputs on your machine? Also, here is an Amazon link for the first capture card I linked.

This is correct. Your graphics card ports are output only. A Capture Card will give your computer a video input.

This is the HDMI capture card I use, with a PCIe x1 connection. You can also find HDMI capture USB dongles.

The software was the one provided with the card. It was so easy... you opened the software, it opened a capture window, you entered fullscreen and voila. Keep in mind I never tried to record anything, so I don't know the performance hit there. And I have to note it was a PCI card, not a USB dongle or capture box. And, if I remember correctly the brand was AverMedia. It was something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Definition-Composite-Component-C027/dp/B002SQE1O0

​

Edit: I checked and it was exactly that card, bought it on 2011 though....

You would need a capture card

On a ps3 alone I do not believe it is possible.


EDIT* Here is a PS3 forum discussing the issue you are asking about

Any one of these will get the job done.

• Avertv
  
  
• Hauppauge
  
  
• Black Magic
  

I actually just ordered one last night. A friend of mine has this one for $89.99 and swears by it, so I bought it. The downside she didn't tell me until after I ordered it was that I would need a 1-in-2-out HDMI splitter to stream. So that plus two 3-foot HDMI cables ran me another $26 altogether.

I couldn't find that one at $100 when I looked, but I got this one, it's similar: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002SQE1O0/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
Only complaint so far is that my xbox needs to be off when my hdmi splitter is plugged in for it to recognize the signal.

Oh I didn't even realize reddit ate my comment:

Then this is probably what you want:

Sorry about that

I've been using this one: http://www.amazon.com/Avertv-Definition-Analog-Capture-MTVHDDVRR/dp/B002SQE1O0

I'm not an av expert but it's been good enough for my needs, and the software that it comes with is decent.

You could buy a capture card


I bought one today.

I've used the Avermedia C027 card for the past year to capture my PS3 via HDMI (with a HDMI 1.3 splitter to remove HDCP). It also supports Composite, Component, and S-Video. It was $89 when I got it last year and has gone up a little in price since then.

The Avermedia solutions would probably suit you best. For an internal capture card this is a good solution: Avertv HD DVR High Definition. I have had really good recommendations for this capture card.

For future reference, referral codes do not make it through the spam filter.

Always sanitize your retailer links before commenting on reddit (since most subreddits have the same anti-spam measures)

Your amazon link would reduce to this, for example:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SQE1O0

Did you come up with another solution?

I wonder if you get a capture card with a component or HDMI input on it if you could record to a PC. I am looking to do the same thing. Maybe something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SQE1O0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2QHDBVQOBDLLF&coliid=I1RTNXD727FVS7&psc=1

This is the card I use

I use this one with OBS without having to use that Avermedia Rec Stream or whatever it was called.

Plugged my TV Cable Box and Xbox 360 fine.

I use 720p 60fps which is what record my console games with. It does not do 1080p just 1080i.

I got a great AverMedia card off Amazon and put it in my desktop.

AverTV HD DVR is what I use. AV/S-Video/HDMI. Around $90, found mine for $80. Plugs intot he pci port of your PC, so there are less cables and boxes around your setup.

Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Avertv-Definition-Analog-Capture-MTVHDDVRR/dp/B002SQE1O0

I was going more for the HDMI capture card route. Right now I have a low price low resolution composite capturing device coupled with a splitter (that strips that pesky copyright checker). It's complete crap but it's what I have and the low res isn't going to justify me using it for live broadcast or extracting the episode from the DVR, DVR files are encrypted and since they took out the hard drives and went solid state, it's harder to extract them so just do it directly.

.....again with http://www.amazon.com/Avertv-Definition-Analog-Capture-MTVHDDVRR/dp/B002SQE1O0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1372121677&sr=8-5&keywords=avermedia i captured just fine

Game Capture HD is designed for recording, NOT streaming. (It's also somewhat outdated, as the Game Capture HD II does both component and HDMI.)

If you want to stream, you'll want something like this. You do need a free PCI-e slot in your computer though. This handles HDMI, component, composite, and S-Video.

Another option is getting the Dazzle DVC-100. It only does composite and s-video and plugs in via USB.
