AverMedia Live Gamer Portable HD 1080p 60MBPS Video Capture USB w/ DVI HDMI
Cons:Nearly none..... but wait…It does not record older consoles with composite video output. e.g. SNES,Game Cube, SEGA Saturn, Dreamcast and the Atari system!??Minor one is that it requires a restart of your computer after each time you disconnect & reconnect the USB power on to the device in order to have the sound working properly.And really really really to pick on another one is, it didn’t come with a 16GB Class10 SD card in the box! haha =)
Pros:-Compact, stylish looking & easy to setup and use.-The bundled RECentral software is clean and simple to use.-Takes up literally no CPU & system resources.-Excellent capturing quality with everything 1080p b30fps.-Able to save your voice over as a separate mp3 file. Making it easy for editing.-A great value product with the on Sale price. Consider the kind of features it packs within the package. Comment:
I was originally looking at the Hauppauge PVR 2 Gaming Edition capturing device; as it costs less than the AVerMedia LGP and does the same job (maybe even slightly better image quality but only situational). However, after seeing a few review videos of the Live Gamer Portable; knowing how compact this thing is (it can fit into your Jeans’ pocket) and able to record directly on to a SD card, AVerMedia had me convinced to pay a little extra for what they are offering in the package.Check out the unboxing video here: http://youtu.be/SyiixcIcbT0Sample Capturing Video:Chivalry Medieval Warfare Gameplayhttp://youtu.be/AW0Ga7XZd9chttp://youtu.be/AW0Ga7XZd9c |
I bought this specifically to stream PS3 gameplay, and initially had a challenging time setting it up. In terms of capturing gameplay, the software works fine. In terms of streaming, you have to install another program which can be a challenge to configure within Xsplit or OBS. None the less, I did get it work after around 3 hours of following limited online instructions on the Avermedia web forum. There are limited official instructions for configuring this.
