I've Got It
Hey guys, I have started off my youtube channel with a okay piece of recording equipment it does 1080p HD quality but doesn't allow the game sound on the recording so I know I need a new piece of equipment. So my 3 options are:
1) Roxio HD Pro
2) HD PVR 2 or
3) Elgato HD Game Capture

The Elagto is the most exspensive at £135, next the HD PVR 2 at £125 then the Roxio HD pro at £89. So as I have just started youtube I want to buy the Roxio for may reasons, a) I dont get a good income b) cheapest and c) rated an 8.5 out of 10 by many magazines (the same as the other 2 which are more exspensive) I know the elgato is probably the best, but altogether taken money and quality, I think that the Roxio HD pro is the best for me. What do you guys think? Any personal experiences, or advice comment below. Thank you!
 
I have the Roxio HD PRO and I like the capture card. It's easy to use and in my opinion good quality. Even with a little trick you can bypass the Macrovision, I don't know if other capture cards have that as well.
 
You already know the Elgato is the best. I've had and used the HDPVR and much prefer the Elgato personally. I wouldn't always go for the cheapest option but if you see things as expensive then maybe you shouldn't purchase one until money isn't an issue?
 
Elgato has inputs so you can have 2 consoles inputted at once and you can also livestream using the elgato get the elgato game capture ;)
 
I have the Roxio HD Pro and I am not satisfied with it. I started like 1 year ago with it and it was good as a beginner’s thing but now I am considering buying the Elgato. The main reason why the Elgato is much better is the fact that you can record live commentary with the Elgato directly thru the software as with the Roxio HD Pro you can’t, you have to record your commentary separately then sync it (which is a pain in the a**).


And one other thing the recording of the Roxio HD Pro are sometimes really shaky and stuttery. So above the fact it doesn’t support live commentary the quality sometimes is really bad and annoying. So if you have the money buy the Elgato.
 
Another huge plus for the Elgato is its time shifting ability where it basically buffers say 2 hours of gameplay without you needing to record every match. It's great since you can go back in time and grab that sweet "across the map" tomahawk game winning kill.
