SCREENFLICK SOUND LAG PRO
While I dealt with the same long lag while using my SlingBox Pro HD, I remember how much of a pain it was to watch back and forth to see when to stop recording. There was also a 4 or 5 second lag between what was on the screen and what was on the game that was very noticeable.
However, it did cause VLC Player to crash a few times while I tried the demo (which allows 2 minutes of recording each recording). Granted, I already have VLC Player, so that wasn't a huge issue. It runs well enough, but it requires another third party software solution to view the incoming footage while you are recording, VLC Player. The first and cheaper version is HDPVRCapture, which is written by an engineer at Hauppauge (I guess the company won't make native Mac software). So I had a choice between two pay products. There are no free versions that work with the product, though. Next I needed software to record from it, since the software it comes with is Windows only, and I am on an iMac. It's easy enough to turn it on from it's front facing power switch. Also, since I am not planning on using it with anything but my game consoles, I didn't bother hooking up the IR Blaster for remote control access. But, good Christmas the cables they packed with this thing are long and sturdy.
I had the cables already running to the HDTV from my SlingBox, so I just used them as the output. I haven't used the component cables it came with, yet. So, $213 later, I had it in my grubby little hands (after tax, it retails for $200).īrought it home and set it up. It was in the computer section, not the TV/Home Theater section. So, Friday morning after work, I headed out to Best Buy. I was planning on getting this item, anyway, but when my SlingBox Pro HD decided to brick itself, well, I knew I had to get it ASAP. The new hardware is the Hauppauge HD PVR. So, I have new hardware and software installed for recording my game footage.
