How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3/PS4 to PC)I need to record videos from game consoles (PS3, XBox 360) using HDMI output.
Does NVidia, ATI or any other companies produce graphics cards or any other hardware that can do that? Hava offers hardware that allows you to connect any HD video source as well as record, pause, fast forward, rewind live TV on your PC HAVA Platinum HD TV Device Will it be able to record HDMI streams, which includes the PS3, Xbox 360? Gefen High-Definition Personal Video Recorder has HDMI input and seems and can potentially record from PS3 and Xbox 360, but it costs $999 But the device will not allow an HDCP encrypted source to be recorded. So this device will only record YPbPr and non-HDCP HDMI signals (and composite/S-video signals). Besides Gefen anounced that future hard drives will be encrypted, to prevent users from accessing it with a PC! Is HDMI signal from PS3 and Xbox 360 protected thus impossible to record? Am I only limited to component cables if I want to record high definition signals? |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)Hey there, sorry for the delayed response.
A friend of mine Andy showed me a link online to an hdmi recorder, it was $200 plus usd or so. Expensive, but looks like it works great with the ps3 and xbox 360. The item can be found here: HD Fury: Quote:
hope this helps. :) |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)I am looking to record 720p videos off my Xbox 360. I was recommended to check out Blackmagic Intensity Pro card (This is not spam. I need to learn how to do this properly to create high definition trailers of a video game I am making.)
I basically know nothing about HDMI and high definition. From what I can tell, my Xbox is hooked to my 720p TV using component video (three RGB cables) and stereo audio (white and red cables; not sure what this is called). As far as I know, that is HDMI. Or rather the xbox outputs HDMI, and my cable converts it to component video and stereo audio. Am I on the right track? I have a few questions:
Thank you, anyone, so much for answering any of these questions! |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)Just 2 steps.
Step1: Download screen video capture software and install it Step 2: Adjust the settings if needed and click the Record button. If you have finished your recording, stop it, save the file and watch the playback. |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)You can use an HD capture card like Blackmagic Intensity Pro or you can use a Personal Video Recorder Hauppage HD PVR to record game plays in HD quality.
Blackmagic Intensity Pro can be connected to your gaming console over HDMI. Hauppage HD PVR does't support HDMI, so you can record from component video output with it only (which is an analog connection). You may also need to use a separate audio cable. See more details in the following thread: Blackmagic Intensity Pro vs. Hauppage HD PVR The above mentioned HAVA Platinum HD also records in SD. It record to MPEG-2, so it is compressed by hardware for you. Your computer may not be powerful enough even to record 720x480 videos (I'm not even talking about 1920×1080 videos), so it's nice to use some hardware like HAVA Platinum HD. Screen video capture software requires you to have a powerful computer especially for record HD videos. I suggest you to capture using Huffyuv or Motion JPEG video codec first, and then re-compress your recorded videos. Quote:

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)I need to record my game plays from xbox360 and PS3 in full HD quality (1080p). I'm willing to pay a lot for the Full HD Capture card that can record from my game consoles without upscaling.

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)AverTV HD DVR is a High Definition / Analog Video PCI-E Capture Card. It’s equipped with HDMI and through the included dongle cable, Component, S-Video and Composite Video input interface.
AverTV HD DVR can be connected to your Gaming Console, Cable/Satellite Set-Top-Box, Gaming Console and HD Video recorders to capture High Definition and Analog video content on your PC. Note that is doesn't support HDCP, so since PS3 outputs using HDCP you won't be able to record from HDMI (but you can record component). However you shouldn't have any problems recording from xbox 360. The package includes Aver MediaCenter software application with advance software encoding algorithm engine and built-in schedule recording features. AverTV HD DVR allows to capture HD video, up to 1080i, and save it in MPEG 2 or H.264 file format (which can be use to playback under iPod or PSP gaming device) as well as program start and end times of TV shows from HD Cable/Satellite Set-Top-Box. Input Signal (HD) HDMI Component (YPbPr) Stereo L/R Audio Input Signal (Standard Definition) S-Video Composite Stereo L/R Audio Requirements for capturing HD videos

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)I would like to record from xbox AND dish network dvr, 720p (one at a time, dont care if I have to switch some cables). If I have to choose one then dish network dvr 720p.
The original poster asked, "How to capture/record video from HDMI." (dish network hdmi in my case) Thats what I want to know. One posters answer; "Just 2 steps.That doesn't work for me. It seems I'm switching away from my computer when switching monitor from vga to dvi in this case. But nobody said, in later posts, that wouldn't work... so I thought I had something wrong. |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)Quote:
Capture cards and standalone recorders like Hauppage HD PVR usually come with software allowing you to record video with audio on your computer. Most probably HD content from Dishnetwork uses HDCP, so you will need to record video using component cables. You may need an HDMI to YPbPr Component converter. |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)Thank you so much for your help. I'm slowly piecing this together.
I was hoping the $8 cable to my from my hdmi dvr to my monitor would be the answer. But its not. I can watch it, but cant record it. |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)I have an AverMedia Capture card and it works well with a few caveats.
There is no loop-through on the card like the Blackmagic Intensity Pro. That means that the only way to view what you have plugged into it is through it's capture/monitor application on the PC. At first this seemed like no big issue for me as I already have my xbox hooked up to my computer monitor and use a video switch to go back and forth between it and my pc. Only issue is that there is a pretty noticeable lag. 400 to 500ms I would say. There is no way you can play W@W, MW2, BOPS, etc. this way. You just die a lot. The only solution was an active(powered) HDMI splitter. I split the signal from my xbox with one going to the capture card and one going to my computer monitor. I have a second monitor on my PC so I use that to fire up the capture software. The splitter does introduce a perceptible amount of noise into the image which is not show stopping, but it is undesirable. So now I could capture and play at the same time. On to the next issue. The Avermedia capture app is bit rate capped at 15K. This wasn't fast enough for full detail. I was not able to get the cards signal in any other app such as Premiere or Virtual Dub so I was stuck with their app. It also uses some bad compression settings that you can't change. So the resulting video had compression artifacts and other issues. The solution was simple since the capture app monitored uncapped and uncompressed. I use FRAPS to capture the AverMedia window. FRAPS works great at this and has a lot of options for capturing. It has a great native format that while big, keeps a lot of detail around for when you recompress. So the AverMedia is a lot cheaper initially. But after buying a splitter and FRAPS, it gets closer to the BlackMagic price. I have not used a BlackMagic so I cannot speak to how well it works, and how its software is. But on the face of it it would eliminate the splitter and potentially FRAPS depending on how its sofwtare works. I know it also will work with Virtual Dub, Premiere, Vegas Pro, etc. I have heard of some compatibility issues with the Blackmagic and X58/Core i7 based computers though which is why I have not purchased one myself. P.S. You'll need a fast disk to record HD video. I find that to record video from the XBox with the AverMedia and FRAPS, I need to be able to sustain around 110 MBytes/s. A single disk will not do this. I run 4 disks in a RAID 0 array. A 2 disk array should work though. |
Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)Hey stoneym,
Thanks a lot for a great review. When talking about compatibility issued of Blackmagic cards, are they related to Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle only or to Blackmagic Intensity Pro as well? |

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)the main problem with wanting this is that you want a computer with an hdmi in or somhow convert it to usb im not sure that s possible but i have seen a man that used an hdmi splitter and with the scart ps3 chords and some how with a desktop and dual moniters he was able to record with running one of the chords through a 70$ modem but if u could find some how a hdmi to usb that would be great but what ps3 shouldl have done was (if u dont need 1080 and would settle for 720) they should of made it so u can run out more than one cable option at a time like have an svideo running to a 30 easy cap card and play in hdmi to make it easier.... but there is a product by the name of "roxio" or something and it is 100$ and uses componant cables (a step down from hdmi but a step up from msvideo and componant):eek: well i hope i could help but based on what u want again like i said you would be looking for a very awkward device but again sony could have made it a little easier to record given the options that theyy had

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)u cant see all devices are hdmi out for an ablilty to hook them up to a moniter or tv u cant hook up one out (ur gaming sys.) to another out(your computer) without some kind of device in the middle that could either make hdmi into usb and in that case u could hook it right in to your usb drive

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)we are talking about an external gaming system sure through moniter thats easy but u may have been using "frapps" but anywaay u either record from desktop or find a device to hdmi to usb because a desktop doesnt usually have a hdmi in and if u do please contact me cause thaty could really help all of us out

Re: How to capture/record video from HDMI (record game play from XBox 360, PS3 to PC)I recently set up a system to do this and it works great. The key components are getting the Video from the console into the PC and also being able to record the video to the hard drive in real time.
I used an HDMI splitter box (cost around ?50) to take the video to the PC. I used a Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card with its bundled software to record the video. (I could have saved on the cost of the splitter box as the card allows the video signal to be looped through but this would have meant that I would have had to have the PC on whenever the XBox or PS3 were in use.) In order to record, disk write speeds have to be fast. I found that the cheapest and best way to do this was to create a RAM drive. I used some software from Dataram to create this RAM disk. (I think that this is always going to be the best solution as the actual data transfer rate for Magnetic hard drives have not increased in 10 years meaning that the latest SATA III drives are no faster than the old E-IDE ones! The data transfer rates are still only around 110MB/s even though the SATA III standard allows for 600MB/s. SDD's are now approaching this max speed. A RAM drive however is many times faster than even an SSD and is therefore the best choice for any process that will involve a lot of disk access. (I installed extra RAM so that I could devote some for the RAM drive when needed.) I did find that the best I could record was 1080i and not 1080p. This may be a limitation with either the Blackmagic card or bundled software, though it is advertised as being capable of 1080p. This was my only minor issue. ( I did check that it was not the splitter's fault by wiring direct.) The Blackmagic Express software produced the warning "No Remote" any time the input signal was 1080p. I hope that this helps someone else. |
