Video capture card

I'm looking to finally get one. Anyone else already got one that they would recommend?

I'd really like to get the Hauppauge 1212 HD PVR, but at over $200.. thats a whole lotta money that could've gone to something else. like paying my electric bill. groceries. satellite tv/internet. or 400 apple pies from mcdonald's

hahaha 400 apple pies.

but yo, im totally with you so im glad you made this thread. im THE beast on UFC, so i wanna start playing for money but i dont wanna start running in to douche bags who can't take a loss... soooooooooooo i want a capture card.

i don't have an HD TV, so i dont think i'll want an HD capture card (i've played a guy who had an hauppage, the video looked AWESOME)... and i would also like to go cheaper for the alread stated reasons - i gotta pay bills... and i usually spend my miscellaneous cash on weed.

i could drop like $70 on a Dazzle (cuz thats how much they are, right?) but then i dont know what else i would need to actually record, edit, and upload. would i just need component cables or something?

I was wonderin the same thing. His vids already look nice

I use a DVD Recorder with a built-in hard drive purchased from Walmart.
It captures at 480i (720x480).

When I switch my Xbox360 to 480p, 720p, or 1080i the picture quality on my big screen TV is dramatically increased, but my DVD Recorder doesn't support recording those video modes.
