Review: Works and is affordable - This capture card works amazing there are a few miniscule things I have to complain about it on though it gets hot easily it only supports av output/input and it seems to conflict with other video devices that are not built into the PC so unless you have a webcam built into your PC do not expect to have a facecam all that said it basically turns your PC into the TV which is great in conjunction with screen rec software (or if you just need a screen that is not the TV) Review: Fantastic, Dont listen to the bad reviewers - This product is awsome, the haters are mad because it isnt 1080p of course itsince not it's using component/composite cables. Once you tinker with sharpness and saturation and other settings, it's quality is really good i think the res go's up to 720p, and the youtube quality is really good. I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT FOR ANYONE WHO POSTS TO YOUTUBE AND DOESN'T MIND NOT HAVING 1080P PERFECT FOR MY CHANNEL. Don't listen to the bad reviewers who are butthurt cause theyou didn't know how to set it up or they expected the god of all recorders.

AMAZING PRODUCT. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Okay Device but Improperly Listed by Amazon *by B***A on December 30, 2017* Despite all the negative reviews, this isn't even a horrible capture card, it's decent actually. However, it is improperly listed. This is NOT a high definition capture card. It utilizes the eMPIA 2828X "USB Grabber" video chip. This chip maxes out at 480i. This capture card was clearly designed to capture standard definition video and not high definition. Any signal above 480i will not be registered by the video chip. I couldn't even get 480p to record. Now, that doesn't mean the capture card is horrible. Some people, like myself, don't care about high definition video capture but wanted a device to capture old, retro video game consoles like the original PlayStation and Nintendo 64. Assuming you're one of these people, how does this stack up? The outside is designed pretty well, actually. This is the first capture card I've had with a pass-through, meaning, your video signal comes in one end and leaves the other end. This is great because it defeats the need for a splitter since the signal will pass through the device to your television. This device also has a port for a microphone, which is a neat little addition if you don't have a microphone port, and the form-factor is nice. My Easycap would damage my USB ports since it was such a heavy dongle, while this uses an external USB cable to connect to your computer so no weight is actually placed on your USB port. The inside is where most people's complaints come from, mainly the eMPIA video chip. This chip maxes out at 480i, so if you were hoping for 480p or even 720p/1080i video recording through the component ports, that's not going to happen. The deinterlacing also isn't very good, so interlacing is very noticeable in the actual recordings. The recording also look a little washed out. All in all, the video quality is not good, but it's not atrocious. If you are streaming something like the Wii or original Xbox, it will be quite noticeable because those games visually look great, but if you go something really old school like N64 or PS1, or even NES or SNES, the video artifacts become less apparent. I am fine with the video quality on this device as someone who records and streams retro games very very casually. You should definitely not get this card if you are expecting to high quality professional-level recordings, it won't give you that. A lot of people have had trouble getting this device to even work, I've had no trouble. It works fine in my experience. The issue is that the eMPIA drivers are Windows-only and are required to be installed from the installation CD. There's no Linux support (believe me, I tried) and to my knowledge no Mac support. This is by no means a plug-in-play device. After you setup the divers, you should easily be able to import the device into OBS for recording and streaming. If you switch between using the component jacks or the composite jacks on the Gamecap, you have to open up VivaStation and switch the input source and then restart OBS. OBS won't automatically be able to detect the change and will just give you a white screen. Also, don't forget that this cannot record above 480i. So if you are still getting a blank screen, make sure your device does not have progressive scan enabled. I bought this device for standard definition recording as someone who extremely casually does so. The video quality is not amazing but it is good enough for someone like me. The device is very nicely designed with the pass-through video ports, the external USB connection and the additional microphone slot. But the video chip is not the best and it's annoying when software isn't plug-in-play because it takes some time to setup and does not work on every machine. I think Amazon really needs to fix their listing for this device. I think this device would get much better reviews, at least 3 stars, if the listing wasn't so misleading. This isn't even the developer's fault. The device never claims to be an "HD recorder" on the box. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/264772-gamecap-hd-recorder-playstation-3-xbox-360-psp](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/264772-gamecap-hd-recorder-playstation-3-xbox-360-psp) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
