Capture Card For Xbox 360

Looking for the best capture card for xbox 360? If you want an HD card then I recommend the Roxio Capture Card. Take a look at the video above that I recorded using my Roxio Capture Card. TIP: Remember to change the settings to 720p so that you can view the video in HD.

As you can see from my video above, the Roxio card gives great results. It’s price is midrange at $99 but if you want great quality HD videos, then it’s the obvious choice when buying a capture card for xbox 360. Visit Roxio’s site here: Roxio Capture Card.

On the other hand, If you are on a budget, and just can not afford the Roxio card, then you may want to look into the Dazzle. It does NOT record in HD, and therefore will not give you results anything close to what the Roxio will (The Dazzle videos are kind of blurry), but if you are on a budget, then the Dazzle may be your only choice. It’s a low end card for Xbox & PS3.

Another capture card is the Hauppauge. This is the most expensive card, but the advantage is that it can record in 1080i. I personally recommend the Roxio instead because the Roxio is $100 cheaper and records just fine in 720p HD (See my videos on this site). Also, most games are only 720p HD anyway, and I’m not so sure you can tell the difference between a 720p and a 1080i recording. However if you want to spend the money, then go for it, I’m sure you will not be disappointed with Roxio or Hauppauge.

HD Capture Card For Xbox 360

Written by shane · 10 Comments

The Roxio Capture Card is the best solution if you’re looking for an HD Capture Card For Xbox 360. The Roxio card uses HD Component Cables to connect your xbox (or PS3) to the card, and allows you to simultaneously play in HD because it is a thru-box that uses another set of component cables that plug into your television.

If you haven’t viewed the Roxio Videos that I made, make sure you do so that you can see the quality of the card. Don’t forget to change the youtube settings to 720p (otherwise youtube will not be playing the video in HD). If you are interested in Roxio, you can find out more here: Roxio Game Capture Card

TIP: I find that instead of uploading direct to youtube from within the roxio software, I get better quality youtube videos by first exporting my roxio video to a 720p div file, and then uploading that to youtube.

Roxio’s HD Capture Card For Xbox 360 is the best card I’ve used, It is a true HD recording capture card. Check out my videos on this site for recordings actually made using the roxio card. Remember to make sure you change the youtube setting to 720 to view in the highest quality. Also keep in mind that youtube itself actually degrades the quality on upload. but as you can see it is still very good quality. If you have any questions, submit a comment and I’ll reply. Thanks for visiting my site!

Roxio or Hauppauge

There is also a Hauppauge HD card. It is $100 more than the Roxio card, but it can record at 1080i instead of 720p (like the Roxio). Both are great HD cards. It just depends if you think it’s worth an additional $100 to record at 1080i. I personally don’t see much difference in the two (720p vs 1080i), definitely not worth paying $100 more. Also, most games are only 720p HD anyway. But regardless whether you go for the Roxio card or the Hauppauge card, 720p or 1080i is going to look incredible! See my comparison between Roxio & Hauppauge HERE.

Hauppauge Capture Card

Written by shane · Leave a Comment

The Hauppauge Capture Card is a fantastic gameplay recording card. It is definitely the best one to get if you have the money. Now on my blog site, I talk about the Roxio card a lot more, so I’ve gotten a few questions from people asking me why do I think the Roxio is better than the Hauppauge card.

I didn’t say that the Roxio card is better than the Hauppauge, I just recommend it over the Hauppauge because of this: Both cards are nearly identical except that the Hauppauge records up to 1080i whereas the Roxio card only records up to 720p. However, both of those resolutions are true HD quality. On top of that, the Roxio card is $100 cheaper, and that is why I recommend the Roxio card over the Hauppauge card.

Hauppauge Vs Roxio

The Hauppauge and Roxio cards are the two best cards in my opinion. Both are HD cards and both will let you record in HD while simultaneously allowing you to play in HD. No splitters needed as both cards are pass thru devices. Take a look at the comparison table below (Dazzle is included for reference).

	Dazzle Plus	Roxio Game Capture	Hauppauge 1445 Gaming Edition

Audio Connections	Stereo	Stereo	Stereo & Optical
Highest Recording Resolution	480 (NON-HD)	720p HD	1080i HD
Costs	Lowest	Mid Range	Highest

One thing to note is that the Hauppauge capture card comes with a 3-in-1 component cable for use with the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii… Therefore no additional cables are required. The Roxio card comes with one set of component cables (to hook the box to your TV) but requires you to use your own Xbox component cable to connect to the Roxio device. Most Xbox systems come with the component cable, but if yours did not, then you would need to purchase one (About $20) if you buy the Roxio system.

All in All, If you have the money, then grab the Hauppauge card, but if you don’t want to spend so much on an HD card, then you will be perfectly happy with the less expensive Roxio card as well.
