Thread: PC Has HDMI input, how can i record?

So my pc has an HDMI input, and i can play my ps3 on my pc by changing the inputs. Is there anyway i can record my ps3 using my PC? like a software that displays HDMI input and i just use a screen recording softeware like Cam studio or Camtasia or fraps?

You need a Video Capture Card to do that..

Well i left out that my PC has the red white and yellow input also, isnt that a tuner card?
EDIT: i has this device AVerMedia A336 MiniCard Hybrid ATSC/QAM

i dont know but I rather record my games over Component Cables. You need to deal with the protection that HDMI had, I used to have one here but it cant record encrypted signals, it only shows Green on the screen when I record and a static sound. Mines handle ISDB digital signal and had HDMI 1.1 spec, Component Input (YPbPr/YCbCr/RGB) and Composite Input.

There's a capture card can handle this encryption but not with that capture card you have there.

so how do you do it? i can hook my ps3 into the component slots and display from that. is there a way to record with that?

let me confirm? do you have Component Input on your PC's Capture card? If yes, then you can. All thing you need now is a recording program.

any tuner card can inherently capture video. what you are looking for is capture software. your tv tuner should have came with it.

yes i have component input, which software can i use? and @lightyear, it came pre built with it.

go to avermedia's site, look up your tuner's model & download the software suite

PS3 may block the other ports if HDMI is used.. you might have to use component cables to tv and composite to your Avermedia card..
