    How much does that cost? Looks tiny compared to a Hauppage, might be a good replacement for it in my portable recording kit.
    A lot - is not cheap.. Would only get this if you want to do 1080p60 over HDMI as it's the only solution out there.
    I got mine from markertek.co.uk and set me back the bones of €400

    The Hauppage will do me. :D

    (My "portable" kit includes component cables for all consoles and a vga converter.)

    Trying to order the basic stuff online, don't trust Ebay personally.

    Amazon will only ship me the RCA plugs, does anyone know of somewhere else where I can order the EasyCap and the splitters?

    With the HD PVR can you record direct to an external harddrive, or does it need to be connected to a computer?

    Nope, you can choose wherever it records too... You will obviously just need to have the HDD connected while recording

    Cheers Tallon!

    I'm still torn whether to buy the blackmagic intensity pro or the hdpvr..

    I like the thought of just recording an external harddrive with the hdpvr, but it will limit me when it comes to streaming online.

    With the blackmagic, I'm going to have to have the computer pretty close to the xbox, but it does record in full hd.

    Why? I stream with the PVR!!

    Also, noone watches full HD as apposed to 1080i

    I tried a few vegas's even a portable one, but every time I import my file it freezes straight away. I guess it means my laptop isn't capable of running it?

    I'd say I'll stick with the Windows Movie Maker for a while.

    I actually got a video that has solved the problem!

    Vegas works sound for me so far now. :)

    The Total Media Extreme software that comes with the HD PVR had an update.

    Now instead of being forced to capture in M2TS, you can capture in TS and MP4.

    I notice that the advised PC capture software is Fraps. I've played round with the demo and got on grand, but I've been told the captured files can be huge in terms of GB. Is that true?

    Yes, and with good reason. To minimize the performance hit, FRAPS records in uncompressed a Raw MPEG codec in an .avi container. Meaning it impacts the game as little as possible

    Ok, trying to set up the Hauppauge this morning. |Following the instructions and get to where it says to connect the box to the Xbox via the HDMI cable....only, my Xbox doesn't have a HDMI slot on the back. Apparently they only added them more recently than my last Xbox purchase.

    So question is....am I stuck buying a new Xbox now? Can't see how any of the other wires would work :(

    I assume you have a PVR 2 if you're talking HDMI.

    Just follow the instructions for connecting to a PS3 instead of the xbox ones and use the component connections instead. Problem solved :)
