Im probably gonna buy the 5$-20$ one (+HDMI splitter) but in not sure about a couple things: 1. Do i have to buy the cables separately? (I already have an HDMI one) 2. Do the HDMI cables have to go splitter -> tv/console and the USB splitter -> capture card -> pc? 3. Does It show the console gameplay on the pc or is it the opposite? (Kind of a stupid question but still important to know) 4. Does It work with my Xbox One?

Hey midnight man! I'm new to streaming and have been binging your content the past few days! Thanks for giving amazing and detailed explanations on each of your vids! I'm looking for more detailed advice if you could give. I'm streaming from my ps5. I would like to be able to use stream labs and OBS on my laptop to improve my stream quality, including my mic quality. My gaming headset I use is a Astro A40 with a Mix Amp plugged in through optical out cable, but I also have a Blue Yeti USB microphone available for my laptop. My question is, would you recommend using your Remote Play method (if it works), or a capture card with a chat link Cable? I am willing to try either of they work. Thanks in advance and keep up the great content!

awesome video was gonna watch other ppl doing similar video to compare before deciding on the evga xr1 pro

Nice video really enjoying the content. For me it’s retro gaming. Using different scalers and like running a card through its paces. Along with scalers through their paces. The looks of that basic USB capture card looks inticing.

Ty . Good information

I’ve been recording through twitch on xbox for about a year and I’ve found it extremely frustrating. Only records in 720p but the video always glitches and the audio is always disappearing for no reason. I mostly twitch for recording gameplay with me and 4 friends, but even by myself it always finds a way to mess up. I don’t really recommend twitch, but it’s free so it’s better than nothing.

Thnx! Hoping to get a reply: Bare bones starting, can I capture (record not stream) from Switch to anything and then plug in or send that to my new iPad Pro and edit the video using iMovie and then send to KZread? If iMovie on iPad Pro can edit BOTW or Snowrunner then which capture card can I start with?

Yo I got a question. So if you were to purchase the generic usb and wanted to still use a usb microphone for stream commentary, I noticed you said there was no line in audio available for it. So would i be able to connect my usb microphone into my MacBook assuming there’s an extra usb port and it work for stream commentary ? Any help is appreciated!

Bro I watched it a few times now but still aint sure if I understood right😔 ー So I want to record my gameplay while talking. I got a ps5 the new sony bravia tv which has all features hdr vrr 120hz sony self sais perfect for ps5 and probably gonna buy the new coming macbook pro( if not still have the new Macbook air 2022) So which capture card is really the best, I mostly heard about elgato and wanted to buy that but you said the audio doesnt work or so I didnt really get what you exactly meant? So Elgato hd60 x isnt good for mac right? But is the 1st place good for mac and guarantees mee good recordings with the named devices (Ps5,new mac, new tv)? Would be really happy about your help best regards

What would you say is the best capture card to get for Nintendo Switch capture to Mac?

The generic usb looker great and vibrant. Were you comparing them all in 1080p?

I’ve seen people use the PS5s feature that streams the consoles screen to your PC for playing games to use it with OBS without a capture card.

please please answer me I'm wondering one thing for the first one do you need a laptop or PC or can I connect it to my cell phone or TV

would love some advice for setting up my capture card and ps5 and monitor. so i have the x gaming monitor ultra 4k hd capture card and i lenovo think center tiny desktop pc how is all this suppose to connect? it shows up on my monitor but not the tv

It’s the EVGA compatible with Mac? And if I have a 2k monitor 120 fps it’s compatible with the pass through ?

I just can't give Elgato a single cent after my HD60S became a literal paperweight just because I upgraded my motherboard. Due to hardware oversights and bad firmware (that they still haven't updated, btw) the thing is basically incompatible with most motherboards that came out a year or more after the HD60S's release. The cause? They didn't bother to futureproof it for USB 3.1 ...despite usb 3.1 literally being out and used in consumer products at the time of the HD60S's development. Once motherboards released with only USB 3.1 and above and a couple 2.0 ports, it was game over. I made it work with a PCIe USB 3.0 expansion card for a while, but at some point, windows 10 must have updated the 3.0 drivers to be compatible with some 3.1 devices. The Elgato firmware is so dumb that it'll just automatically tell windows to use the 3.1 protocols that it doesn't support. If you rollback your drivers, the elgato USB handler will automatically update them again and un-fix the issue. It's almost designed NOT to work. It's been 3+ years since they acknowledged the issue and they still haven't done anything to fix the issue. they haven't even updated the firmware updater to check the USB connection before updating so you don't brick your device. They just put a warning on the download page for it.

I’m just looking for a capture card for my switch. What do you suggest?

Thank you so much for this video. It just so happens that the #1 capture card is on sale rn and is only $139. Initially I wanted the elgato HD60X, but that's $179.99 rn. I'd be silly not to grab it while it's at a lower price!

the thing puzzles me that avermedia devices still uses usb 2.0 interface. NZXT is creating their own capture devices looks promising though
