Classic Rando how did you do it without splitters?

Thank you so much for this video. My nine yr old son wanted to be able to make gameplay videos for KZread as his Christmas present, and, being a technologically limited single mum I was scratching my head a little! But I followed all your advice and instructions and have just spent the evening hooking everything up and making sure it all works before the big open on Xmas morning.... I know my sons going to be over the moon as I not only told him it was too expensive, but he probably suspects that I haven't the foggiest how it all works!

lol, thats brave. just a few tips here, 1) the perpose of the elgarto is to record the gameplay in as high resolution as is possible..1080p, however, the file size of the video you record will probably be too big to upload to you tube.... the best way to get that 1080p gameplay video to a small file size is to use an app called "handbrake" which is free and probably the best out there ....it will compress your video with no noticable loss of resolution. 2) if you use video editing software then brilliant...if not, nows the time to get an editor and add titles etc to your videos...its not important but does not take long to get the hang of it, hope this helps, just ask if you need advise.

Does that occasional glitch appear on the recording or just on screen?

You saved my life. I am pleased;-)

Thanks for making this video. It helped a lot. Much appreciated!

Hey Alan thanks for the video very clear and easy to follow!!! now i need to order one, huge thanks.

Is there any way to record without Capture Card?

alan howatt Do you just upload the recorded video through your saved videos(where I’m assuming the video goes as soon as you end the recording) or do you have to make a folder for the elgato

@alan4x

Phoenix Overdrive Gaming Hi, a folder from the Elgarto software will be automatically created where the recorded videos will be stored. From there you can put the video into editing software or just upload it but in 1080p the video file sizes could be quite large so compress it in handbrake then upload it. Hope this helps.

Allan i have travelled back in time from 2019 to let you know you will do highly complex ford repairs.

Is there a way to recird without capture card?

will this work for the Avermedia Live Gamer Portable ??

I dont get the point of the splitter? If its only one hdmi output from the splitter then cant you jusy go directly from the ps3 to the captrue card input and then from the capture card output to the tv? If we arent splitting it another way? Also changing my ps3 settings to component doesnt show anything for me. But Ill still try to work it out!

Are both ends of the HDMI cable an HDMI plug (Sorry I'm not very technologically versed)

nice job man, this is the video that i want

I just wanna know if u have a TV and PlayStation 3 can u still record or do u literally need a pc

Is there no program that can be INSTALLED on the PS3 to record gameplay ON the PS3?

Hello, today I bought a HDMI Splitter to record my PS3 Gameplays but problem is: I can record Gameplays but I can't record any audio at all, I did the same as you did when you changed to Componet/D-Terminal and I have a black screen, what am I doing wrong?

Great video ! Driving me nuts

Selecting the Component/D-terminal, the screen will just turn black I can't see anything. Any help?

So I'm a little late to the party for trying to do this but as off 2022 I'm still getting HDCP blocked through the splitter. I've hooked up everything 3 times over and still nothing. Idk really know what I'm doing wrong but for the time being I won't be able to stream games.

Is there a way to save a captured video file to say your PS3 drive or transfer it to a USB drive and then take the USB drive and transfer it to your computer? I'd rather not have to disconnect my computer from the other room.... I thought this would be a bit more simple since there's a "video uploader and editer" built into the PS3 system...

Hi. I wanted to ask how do I record games of a ps4 on many hard drives. for example having 4 ps4 games copy them on 10 hard drives and it works on different ps4. If you can help me with that concern I have. thank you very much and I remain attentive to any response

yorkshire rose Ok,.... on the PS4 you can stream to twitch directly from your console in 720p... it is a very good 720p. With the PS3 you can get the twitch app on your console but as far as I know you can't stream from the PS3 to twitch. So, yes you will need the elgarto or a similar product and if you want to record in 1080p then you will need the splitter as well as that gets around the hdcp protection. From the elgarto software on your computer you can then stream your video to twitch. If twitch only allow streaming in 720p it will still look almost as good as 1080p Hope this helps
