    **Thanks For Watching!

    Hopefully I've been able to provide more information than you ever wanted about this cheap USB capture device. :)
    If you want a better View of the footage, I've uploaded the high bit rate, original resolution clips! (links in the description)
    My testing was fairly crude, so hopefully those clips can help anyone who want to check the data first hand.
    I wanted to show more, but we already passed the 10min mark, so I figured this should be enough to give people a general idea of how it preforms.
    The full list of shown games can be found in the description.

      I play on switch, and I hate only being able to record 30s clips, or not being able to do clips at all in certain games. I’m now trying to start streaming, and I am completely new to it so idk what all these tech terms mean... also, I’m not sure how to set it up... so all it has is a input for like phone, console, computer etc and an output for computer.
      Surely I can’t just plug both ends in and hope that I can start recording just like that...

    So, essentially, if you absolutely need the capture to be 60fps, stick with 720p. That makes sense, considering the cheap price. It works, and for anyone trying to get their foot in the door for streaming or let's plays it's a great option!

    How well do you think this would work with Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit? That game is a bit different from other Switch games, because the game syncs with an RC car that has a built-in camera that displays live video feed of inside your house, and because of that the Switch won't let you record 30 seconds of gameplay like it does with other games. Would this capture card have any issues with trying to record or capture something like that? Or would it work just fine?

    Great video!
    I've had a slight issue when testing it on my setup.
    I want to record ps4 footage with it, so i also have an hdmi splitter.
    So basically one hdmi cable goes from the ps4 to the splitter for input
    and for the output one hdmi cable goes from the splitter to the tv , the other one goes from the splitter to the capture card
    I use OBS and select the capture card as the video output device .
    in some games however in the preview and when i record there is very noticeable screen tearing happening.
    Any idea how this can be fixed ?

      @bobdotexe  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The first thing I'd adjust are your recording settings, you may need to up the bitrate,
      But the video will only ever look as good as the obs preview, the capture card ads it's own compressions

      @@bobdotexe Thanks for taking the time to reply! I unfortunately don’t think the bit rate would affect it as I’m looking to change the look I see in the preview. I can’t get the preview to look quite as nice as yours, so I was just curious if you had changed anything that might have had that effect, like external settings not shown in the video, but if not, that’s okay! I can live with what it currently looks like, you get what you pay for I suppose 😂

      as mentioned in the video, this capture card dose not have an output,

      if you want to display on both, you'll want to get an HDMI splitter.

      If you already have your capture card as a source, you need to go into the properties. In Audio Output Mode, select Output Desktop Audio (DirectSound), and check off the custom audio device.
      Edit: in Audio Device, select the usb digital audio. It should start working then
