Capturing video games has become an integral part of our work here at ZTGD. We recently reviewed Hauppage’s latest and now, for the first time, I got a chance to check out Roxio’s newest offering. There are several things I look for when reviewing these types of devices, most important is a nice balance of quality and convenience. Roxio’s Game Capture HD Pro delivers a lot of that with its compact design, and simple inputs. The bundled software is also a major plus, making this particular model highly attractive.
Should I sell my Elgato, Avermedia, Hauppaug HD PVR, Roxio Game Capture etc.? This is the Big Question Youtubers all want to know. Because both PS4 and Xbox One has incorporated their own built in capture cards "BUT" no one hasn't said anything about recording commentary or video editing which is very important to the Youtube Gamplay Nation.....

Actually Microsoft has said something about editing and commentary...... at this time it seems like it is common knowledge that using the Kinect that you can actually do picture in picture commentary. If this is a question being asked, a simple Google search could help answer.
Edit: Yeah, I agree with pop-voxuli.
Well, Sony doesn't allow capture through HDMI, and there is no component out of the box. As far as I know, you can still capture HDMI with Xbox one.
The other problem, though, is that the first generation of some of these devices don't have HDMI in. The new ones do.

You can capture on ps4 with external devices before it was a problem with hdcp but with patch they will fix it.

HDMI out only recognizes HDMI so with patch Sony will lift this restriction of hdcp and you will be able to record via hdmi to av or component cable.
I don't see the point of this "article". The guy asks if he should sell his capture device, and later says he wouldn't recommend it.
Also, the Xbox 360 did not have any HDCP encryption besides when playing media content, and neither will the Xbox One. The only device that requires a bypass (for HDMI) is the PS3, and PS4 (temporarily until the patch it, which is dumb cause it should've been there at launch).
I expect the recording on both consoles to be gimped in some form or manner so most people who want to take this gameplay commentaries thing seriously would still go for the hardware designed for it.So gettin rid off your capture cards would he kinda dumb.
Few can deny that video driven content is exploding in popularity. From LiveStream to YouTube, people are getting out there and recording their gameplay and droves of people are watching that content. That is why it is becoming more and more important that if you want to get involved in this new phenomena, you choose a good method for recording your gameplay. Luckily, Roxio has stepped up to the plate and given us a new solution to recording gameplay. Introducing the Roxio Game Capture HD PRO. This device is designed to sit in between your gaming console and your television while plugged into your PC for recording. That all sounds great, but does it work? Read below for our review.
I have one. Great quality and recordings, crap capture software that hasn't been updated and optimized since release.
That's a damn shame... there is always a lack of software support with these things. I want a capture device, but they are so overpriced for what they technically are. I'm glad PS4 and XBOX One will have video capture built in.
It is a great entry level device, easy to use, works well especially for Xbox 360. PS3 isn't perfect, but again for the price it works well.
Great for someone like me who is just getting into the game. I've had mine since last winter and still using it and loving it.
TechDeville: Capturing and live streaming gameplay has really gotten popular over the past couple of years and now new brands are popping up to capture (excuse the pun) the ever growing market. One of the front runners in the market are Roxio, who introduced their first Game Capture device last year to mixed reviews but this year they’ve gone all out with the Roxio Game Capture HD Pro. Specifically designed for the Xbox 360 and PS3 in mind, the Game Capture HD Pro is perfect for casual recording and streaming HD video up to 1080p.
