I need to record videos from game consoles (PS3, XBox 360) using HDMI output.

Does NVidia, ATI or any other companies produce graphics cards or any other hardware that can do that?

Hava offers hardware that allows you to connect any HD video source as well as record, pause, fast forward, rewind live TV on your PC

Will it be able to record HDMI streams, which includes the PS3, Xbox 360?

Gefen PVR has HDMI input and seems and can potentially record from PS3 and Xbox 360, but it costs $999

But the device will not allow an HDCP encrypted source to be recorded. So this device will only record YPbPr and non-HDCP HDMI signals (and composite/S-video signals).
Besides Gefen anounced that future hard drives will be encrypted, to prevent users from accessing it with a PC!

Is HDMI signal from PS3 and Xbox 360 protected thus impossible to record? Am I only limited to component cables if I want to record high definition signals?

A friend of mine showed me a link online to an hdmi recorder, it was $200 plus usd or so. Expensive, but looks like it works great with the ps3 and xbox 360.

The item can be found here:

i've never used it myself however so i'm not sure how well it works.

hope this helps.

I am looking to record 720p videos off my Xbox 360. I was recommended to check out this card: (This is not spam. I need to learn how to do this properly to create high definition trailers of a video game I am making.)

I basically know nothing about HDMI and high definition.

From what I can tell, my Xbox is hooked to my 720p TV using component video (three RGB cables) and stereo audio (white and red cables; not sure what this is called). As far as I know, that is HDMI. Or rather the xbox outputs HDMI, and my cable converts it to component video and stereo audio. Am I on the right track?

I have a few questions:

1) Should I go with HDMI cables to go directly from HDMI output from my Xbox to HDMI input on my capture card?
2) Just want to verify that connection on the back of my Xbox 360 is in fact HDMI. Is it?
3) I want to record some pretty crazy gameplay, and I do not want to play it lagged on my computer screen via the capture card. I want a capture card that outputs the single in HDMI (to use my Xbox 360 HDMI cables I am already using) to sent it back to my TV, in real time to play my game without any lag. No lag during capture is super important. I cannot stress this enough.
4) Will any HDMI copy protection disable capture?

Thank you, anyone, so much for answering any of these questions!
