As you may have known, school has started for both Jacob and I recently. For me the first week has just passed and going forward from here, our schedules will be packed pretty tight.
So some things I have been planning to do are videos and LOTS of them. To accomplish this, I have purchased a Hauppauge HD PVR. This baby is an external capture card that does all the encoding in the device itself. This means absolutely no overhead for your CPU as you’re busy playing the game. Previously, I would use FRAPS to record game footage, while this worked for older titles such as Half-Life, Starcraft, and Quake, new titles won’t cut it. Fraps would virtually make the game unplayable frame rate wise. This of course can be avoided with a quad core processor but I don’t have the money for that.
