GotGame: The HD Pro is about the same size as the standard version but notably comes with HDMI ports which allows for full 1080p video capture at 30 frames/sec, while also allowing for 1080i, 720p and 480p recording at 60 frames/sec. The device encodes the video in H.264 format, and includes the VideoWave editing software that does a pretty good job, though I would say that the audio quality isn’t quite as good as what you hear while it’s recording, but still formidable.
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.
@CommonSense
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.
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.
Hmm I won the regular edition and what put me off the most was the inability to directly stream and was a hassle to work with (at some points). Seeing this kind of makes me want to try streaming again just because it seems ready to use right out of the box. I'm just unsure if I really want to go for it or not...
Yeah the streaming functionality worked quite well so I was pretty happy about that.
