Surely it must know? The result of this capture is a bit grey, nothing is white, everything that should be is grey. Quite why it couldn't tell me it'd stopped capturing, I don't know. I try again, same thing, until that is I set the Wii to output in 576p, at which point it finally works. And it captures about 1 second, before carrying on pretending to be grabbing all the rest whilst not doing so at all. So, what next to try, I know, my Wii! I have a component out lead for that, so in that goes and again the video appears, only this time I can click the capture button, so I do. The capture button was greyed out, so recording anything at all from either my iPad or iPhone (yes I tried both) was a no go zone. Why? Because next to the Status label in the capture window were the red words Signal Protected. That showed up in the live preview window quite happily, but proved completely useless. But what happens when you do feed something to it? Well I thought I'd give it a go, so I dug out my iPad 3 and HDMI connector. I'm trying to write this bit of the review, but the window keeps switching back to Roxio Capture, and so little of the controls in that window are proving to be very responsive at the moment.

Capturing Issues The first thing to note, is how unhappy the software is when not being fed a signal. It's a shame this is your only option, likewise with the capture software itself, either you use Roxio's or you have an expensive not-actually-remotely-heavy-enough-to-be-a paperweight. You can also output a live stream to the Twitch website, alas there seems to be no options for any other. On my laptop, a machine that I'm far more likely to be able to move near where my console is, it used 100%. Whatever hardware inside the box, it can't be doing much beyond a simple capture of the video stream because it was using 63% of my dual core E6850 all of the time. Even when just monitoring the HDMI input, this thing eats CPU time. And here is where the first problem hits you about the GameCap HD Pro, it's insanely high CPU usage. Capturing Performance Clicking the Capture button takes you to the exciting part, the capture window.

There are plenty of free options ranging from Windows Movie Maker right up to Lightworks, heck you can even edit these days in YouTube itself. The software is called Roxio Videowave, and from playing around with it initially, I found it to be not to my tastes, but as I say it doesn't matter. It could be the greatest video editing application in the world, or the worst, it doesn't matter. Now here I should probably go into the Edit & Share option which launches the video editor, but I'm not going to.

ROXIO GAME CAPTURE HD PRO UPDATE

Oh and it wanted another reboot after that update too. Oh and a note about getting Service Pack 1 of the software, hold on didn't it check for updates before installing? I guess not well enough. Launching the application gives two options and links to some tutorials.

Once installed, plugging in the actual device is painless enough, drivers are detected and a light on it appears. Seasoned reviewers will know the story, encounter a problem, ask your friendly PR who sent it to you about it, wait for a response and hope the answer fixes it. I must confess to having had this box for quite a few weeks now, not because I like to take that long getting to know a piece of hardware, but because of various issues I had trying to use it. So here we look at one option, from Roxio, the GameCap HD Pro.

ROXIO GAME CAPTURE HD PRO 1080P

And the best bit is you can see actual in game video footage at 1080p on YouTube! Don't you just love it? Whilst PC users have Fraps, anyone wishing to capture the output of a PS3, XBox360 or Wii is going to need more than a bit of extra software to record their favourite game action. Now we are spoilt, modern consoles run at resolutions that children of the 80s could only dream of, and reviews are no longer limited to those in the employment of a commercial publication. yes actual screenshots of games rather than relying on an SLR camera and some film, it was still not a lot to go on. Even when desk top publishing burst upon the scene and equipment arrived that would take screenshots. Ah, YouTube, don't you just love it? In the early ages of computer games the best idea you had of how a game looked and played was nothing more than a magazine review.
