Hello everyone, So I've been checking out the respective Hauppauge HD PVR and BlackMagic Intensity Pro threads. However, my uses are a bit different than what is discussed. So the most important thing for me is that I virtually wanna take HD screenshots off of my ps3/360. Both capture devices have component in (I don't have an hdmi 360) and I can get ps3 component cables for cheap. What exactly does it mean when we say that the intensity pro takes uncompressed video?

To put it in moron terms, is it virtually recording the exact pixel colors that are coming through to the card and storing all pixels in a (for example) 1280x720 frame? So it's 'print screening' the exact input? So if I was to pull frames out of the intensity pro's uncompressed captured video, I'd pretty much be 'print screening' a given frame? So finally, that'd give me better quality than pulling frames from the compressed video that I'd get with the Hauppauge?

Second, I want to record DirecTV material. Obviously the downfall of the intensity pro would be hard disk space. But this would work with the intensity pro assuming my receiver has component out, right?

Just Broadcast produces amazing playout software solutions to fit various broadcasting needs. Vir2 electri6ity keygen photoshop. (with advanced Music Titles automation) or playing movies and tv shows (with subtitles). It can also be great solution for Youtube channel streaming (or any other streaming service) to create your own Youtube TV. With many different playing.

Also, my plan would be to record on the directv receiver, then choose out specific parts to play out to the intensity pro to try to eliminate the hard disk space problem. It seems like I'd definitely prefer the compressed video from the Hauppauge from this case.

But in the end, all things aside, the intensity pro would give better quality due to the uncompressed nature, correct? Thanks for any and all help!

The 360 will output games (but not video) over HDMI without HDCP. Unfortunately the same doesn't seem to be true for PS3. An HDFury kind of defeats the original goal of NOT capturing via component.

If component capture were acceptable then just use the component output on the consoles. I have to say though I'd be willing to bet you'd have a hard time telling the difference between a screen cap from component vs. If your experience has been there is a dramatic difference in quality between the two I'd most likely to point to your TV and/or cables (if it's a long run) as the culprit of the poor quality when feeding video via component. If I get a chance I'll try to grab two screen shots off my 360, one via component and one via HDMI, with my Intensity pro and post for you to have a look.

Anyway, having said all that, if you are really set on capturing from the PS3 via hdmi you'll need to find an HDCP stripper. They're not easy to find but if you do some digging they are out there.

Assuming you're only going to be capturing a single stream at a time you'd be fine with any two of a new 3.5', non low power (i.e. Western Digital Green series and the like) drives configured in RAID-0.

You also have the option of using MJPEG compression, which will let you capture on a single, recent hard drive (no need for RAID-0), but you'll be giving up a little quality doing this. Thanks for explaining, will u please post pics through both component and hdmi, actually i have posted some screenshots on other site but there is a guy who told me that it is not as clear as through HDMI i mean he said that pics are blurry when i captured through component using HD PVR.
