AGPTEK HD Game Capture Video Capture 1080P HDMI/AV Recorder Xbox 360&One/ PS3 PS4,Support Mic in with Both HDMI and AV Input

I finally got around to using this recorder, after letting it sit in the box for almost 2 months. I was initially excited because I wanted to share a video of me defeating Mordegon (DQ11) on our Switch. When I placed the USB thumb drive in my PC the device was empty. Needless to say, I was disappointed. Rather than blame the device I did some digging around to get to the bottom of this, and found a few comments here and there about picking a good thumb drive, making sure it's one that sticks, and then I saw the seller's description mentioned that mentioned to use USB 2.0. That was why my 64GB stick was empty! Although it's backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the device still treats it as USB 3.0. So I rummaged around my collection of thumb drives and found one just like they list in one the marketing photos (more on that in a sec). I plugged this older thumb drive into the device and hoped for the best. After a little bit of gameplay I took this older USB thumb drive and sure enough the videos of my gameplay were there. So what is this little USB thumb drive? It's non other than the SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Blade. They often come in packs of 5-10. We bought a bunch to use with our 3D printer, because they're older USB 2.0 thumb drives and that's what others were recommending for our 3D printer. So there you have it. Get yourself a SanDisk 8GB Cruzer Blade and enjoy recording your Switch gameplay for more than just 30 seconds (the internal recording limit of the Switch)!

I been recording many videos with my action camera of my hobby and crafts. I recently purchased a mini monitor so I can see what the camera is recording, but unfortunately once it has a video out the camera stop recording to memory card. So getting this capture device was to solve this problem. I was very excited when I received this until I started to use it.1. I know it is doing to down grade my video quality to 1080p30 but I accepted that fact, but the problem is that quality is stamped/overlaid on the video. I don't want that2. It says it used any HD with NTFS or FAT32, they neglect to mention that unless the first partition is NTFS or FAT32, it won't record to it at all, took a while to figure this out because all my 64gig USB drive did not work, nor did my portable SSD drive. Not until I manually remove the recovery partition that get created by default by windows.3. Until I read the instruction carefully after receiving it, no where does it say, it can not capture sound without disabling PCM or enabling it. If you don't know what it is, neither does my camera because I can't enable or disable this, therefore no sound is captured.I just went to UPS to drop this device off to return it. I would not recommend getting this at all. Better off get getting a new camera that support monitoring and recording at the same time.

The upside is the device records video very well, and to thumb drives (No PC needed). Video files are created seamlessly (no dropped frames when starting a new file), but there does appear to be about a 2 frame break in the audio each time a new file is created. A typical hour-long video recording session creates about 4-5 sequentially numbered files.My experience is in using the HDMI option, so I can't say specifically how component video works on the unit. My assumption is the issues are similar.There is no way to rename files - it just increments each file by 1. An extended recording session will end up with multiple files being X, X_1, X_2, X_3, etc., where X is the overall recording session number. Each time you start a new recording (i.e., each time you press the record button), the file number (X) increments by one digit. There is no way to set a date/time, which may or may not be important for you, depending on your situation. It automatically creates a new file every 2GB or so and depending on the complexity of the video, this may be 15-25 minutes of content. It sounds a lot more complex than it really is in use and other than file management long term, it's workable, although a pain.Be sure to format your recording thumb drives for FAT32 - exFAT WILL NOT work. I learned this the hard way. I was using 128GB thumb drives (USB 3.0) with FAT32 formatting and they recorded well. Supposedly hard drives will work as well, and NTFS will work, but with occasional problems...use FAT32 is my, and AGPteEK's recommendation. In any case, the exFAT format should be avoided.There are some serious downsides that are not apparent from the product description here on Amazon. The biggest issue/problem (for me anyway) is audio input. Not clear, until I actually tried using the units, is that when using HDMI input, the units will ONLY accept Mic level (no line-level input with HDMI), and will NOT allow you to monitor via headsets (line out). The only way to make sure you are recording audio correctly is to stop the recording and playback the recording on a laptop or something.Apparently, you have to use the component input to access the line in/line out functions, but component use went untested by me. It MAY allow for monitoring audio via the line out, but I can't say.For many end-users, the audio drawbacks of the device may be of no consequence. However, I was trying to record classroom PPT presentations via HDMI from a laptop, while feeding line level out of a simple mic mixer to the device (most mixers are designed to deliver line-level output). Again, while it does have both line-level and mic-level inputs (and line/headset level outputs labeled as such), ONLY mic-level input is available when recording using HDMI (with no line out to monitor), while line-level input is available to use ONLY when using component video.The price point is good, and for many 'casual' end-users this unit may be fine, but for my purposes, these units did not work out well. I was hoping for an inexpensive solution for my PPT/audio recording needs but, unfortunately, this wasn't it.My recommendation is to somehow get hold of the manual for the unit and read it carefully beforehand. Understand that, even then, the manual is a bit hard to understand. I received paper manuals with the units, but AGPtEK's website doesn't list these units - or at least I couldn't find it there - and I had no luck locating a manual on Google.AGPtEK does have a similar unit, which only has a mic input, which is also sold on Amazon for about $10 less. In any case, as is the case of a lot of the 'low end' electronics, "your mileage may vary".

I got this for my kids to record their play on the Nintendo Switch. This thing works like a charm and the kids just have to push one button to start/stop recording. No need to upgrade your computer just to achieve video capture as long as you don't mind limiting to 720p60fps or 1080p30fps. Longer recordings are split into smaller files automatically, so you do need to stick them together on your computer.

Funciona muy fácil y es muy práctico
