The Blog

I'm playing around with the idea of capturing XBox gameplay footage for the LAN party next month. I don't have any experience with video/audio capture and I'm not sure exactly what to buy or look at.

My requirements aren't very extensive:

  • USB interface (rather than a PCI card)
  • Reasonable video/audio quality
  • As inexpensive as possible
  • Must work 100% of the time and not be a pain in the ass

As for video quality, I'm not exactly going to make redistributable DVD's with this thing. I just want to edit some videos to share online. I'm not very knowledgeable about screen resolutions.... something that can be watched without squinting on a computer is fine.

So, I came across this on Amazon.com:



ADS Tech Video Xpress USBAV-191-EF

Anyone out there have experience with this stuff? Think that the ADS gadget would do the trick? The customer reviews seem decent enough.

I also need to figure out what software I'll need to capture the code. I know Windows Movie Maker can capture video but I think it's might be more geared toward capturing off of a camcorder. Not sure.

Any input would be great. Otherwise I'll be researching this a bit.
