I am probably 48 hours away from throwing out a somewhat inexpensive but vital piece of video game capture device. Why? Because I cannot, for the life of me find an adequate way of recording footage without running into a multitude of issues (sometimes, even the regular SD TV just screws something up).
Tried 'em all... S-Video outlets, Component... all of 'em have nagging audio and video issues that just make me sick!
The only time I got a decent video was also the time I discovered that the darn audio was on mono. Most people don't notice it, but when you stick earphones into your computer, ouch!
I'm gonna save up for something better in the near future, hopefully HD capture devices will become more afordable by then.
