The MP4 format is the most common and easy to edit, but the other two formats are required if you wish to record 5.1 channel audio. The bit rate can be altered using a slider from 1 to 14 Mbps. I crank the settings to the max and get 1080p 30fps at 14 Mbps, and the stereo audio is 114 Kbps. If you’re recording 5.1 audio, the audio will switch to 6 channels at 640 Kbps. The top of the device features a small button that allows instant recording, just in case you don’t have another monitor available to see the capture software. Additionally, a new skipback recording function is available. Enable this to record an event that occurred a few minutes earlier. The HD PVR will switch from yellow lights to green lights while recording. I should note, the HD PVR 2 has lag-free pass-through. That means when you press left, right, or any button, you will get instant feedback on the TV. However, there is a several second delay on the capture software. Taking a screenshot at just the right moment is nearly impossible because of the terrible delay, and it’s impossible to play a game from your capture software’s preview window. Streaming includes Twitch, Ustream, and now YouTube support. I haven’t been able to connect my YouTube account, but Twitch works just fine at a max of 720p 30fps at 6 Mbps.Ī PC microphone can be used for commentary in addition to the game’s audio, but the audio sounds a little distorted for some reason. The audio gets really loud and filled with static.Īll in all I say this device is great for an average gamer looking to record some gameplay and possibly stream. However, the Gaming Edition Plus seems completely useless to me, unless you plan to archive video at 6 channel audio. If you’d like to buy this product for yourself, click the Amazon link below. It won’t cost you anything extra, but it will help keep my site running.They've finally "released" a driver for the HD PVR 2 (so I can record from my Xbox) but they've only compiled it on Ubuntu and have virtually no support.
