I'm looking to buy a capture card and I was wondering if Elgato really does have good quality? I want to stream and stuff but I don't know if the quality would be great for editing/gif making. Would you recommend it?
I'd say yes! It is a great capture card and we use it to record all our PS3 stuff. I think it has to record at 720 because PS3 doesn't allow a higher resolution? Something like that. But the image is still super crisp and great quality. It also comes with the connections for Ps3 and Xbox 360. For Wii you need an extra converter thing.
We've only had a problem recording one particular game and don't know why it hasn't been recording properly. The staff are friendly and helpful though and we're waiting for a response by email.
It has software where you can adjust audio levels while you record and streaming options too, I think it's really nice in that respect. You can link it with Twitch, Youtube and a few other sites.
So all in all I think it's amazing for the price, except this glitch we've been having.
