hey i am looking for a cheap way of capturing gameplay footage for whatever need. I am doing a school project and need some footage so thats one need. It doesn't need to be HD just something. The bungie pro is some money as it is so i figured i'd buy a device so i can do it whenever and however i want.

So i have heard good things and bad things about dazzle the quality is bad or whatever. any other devices you recommend?
I was looking on newegg and found this stuff

(this would be the most i would go right now. the Haup HD PVR is just really expensive)

Hey.

How much are you willing to spend? How much do you plan on using it? If you can afford $200, then buy a Black Magic Intensity Pro or Hauppauge HD PVR. I love my BMIP but I have friends who love their Hauppauge too.

Roxio has a new product that looks ok for around $100 , although I have no clue how well it works.

EDIT: scratch that roxio, it's only 480p

I hate watching dazzle videos. Please don't buy one.

i plan on using it quite a lot not just for capturing gameplay and i have been looking around at videos and such so i might just wait a bit and buy one of those two. Only thing i have heard is that the intensity sometimes can be quite annoying to work with, not ease of use so thats why i was looking at that other pci-e card above that does about the same thing just its 1080i and its $100 less.
