capture cards are so cheap now that you definitely don't need skills like this to get one. you dont even need a PC for some capture cards

The Avermedia Game Capture HD2 captures straight to an external hard drive or USB memory stick, no need for a computer. Any PS4 vids on my channel are recorded with it if you want to see the quality (I won't link any to avoid spam but my channel is in my flair if you want to go there yourself).

thats not true!

there are stand alone capture cards which can save the gameplay on external harddrives/usbdrive etc.

A USB port is generally USB 3 if it is blue (in this photo, the left port is USB 2, the right USB 3).

As for capture cards, Elgato is the big brand, but mostly it doesn't make much difference. Just be sure to read what resolutions and refresh rates it can capture at.

I avoid the whole fuss about having to hook up a computer though and use a standalone HDMI capture box instead, which can also accept component. It's this AverMedia one, which works nicely, but is limited to a maximum recording resolution of 1080p30 or 720p60, which may not be to your needs. I also bought it a few years back, so the hardware is nothing new and the price hasn't even come down - it's actually gone up a little.

Anyway, I would say to consider the standalone capture boxes. The upside to them is you don't need to hook up a computer, and you won't have any compatibility or performance issues, but the downside is you generally can't livestream and you will require an external hard drive.

I'd recommend doing all of this by streaming over Twitch. That way she'll be able to watch your stream from any of her devices as they all have the Twitch app (and alternatives like Pocket Plays). This will make things much easier for what you want to accomplish.

The software you'd use to stream all of this from an external capture card would be OBS, Open Source Broadcaster (free).

And finally, you have a variety of choices as to which hardware you could use to do this all with. Here are a few choices to take a look at and depending on your price range:

  • AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme $139.99 (supports 1080p@60fps, USB 3.0 compatible)
  • Elgato Game Capture HD60 S $149.95 (supports 1080p@60fps, USB 3.0 compatible)
  • AVerMedia Game Capture HD2 $168.64 (only 1080p@30fps)
  • AVerMedia AVerCapture HD $99 (if lower budget, only 1080p@30fps)
  • Elgato Game Capture HD $125.89 (only 1080p@30fps)

    If I had to go with an external capture card, I'd either go with the AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme or Elgato Game Capture HD60 S. So read up on these and see what the pros and cons of each are.

    Now as far as latency between you and her, that will all depend on your upstream bandwidth for your internet connection as well as what video resolution and fps you'd be streaming at. But in normal/good scenarios, this will be 10-20 seconds.

This is what I use to record. You can record straight to any USB drive or HDD. It actually works really well. I got it on sale for $110 but I think it's worth the $160 it's selling at now. Basically you can record anything with an hdmi.

I use it to record my xbox one, ps4, cable box, shield tv, and my wii u.

EDIT: Here's a video I recorded with it testing BC Red Dead:

I have the precursor to this one: https://www.amazon.com/AVerMedia-Definition-Commentate-Recorder-C285/dp/B00F890KXU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1538422593&sr=1-2&keywords=avermedia%2Bgame%2Bcapture%2BII&th=1

It can record via component, so u can buy a component cable for your ps2 and use this.This should give you much better quality than with a composite capture card.it also records without computer.


there are cheaper one's out there, like the roxio & dazzle one's, but the quality drop is quite noticeable.

You're right - although while googling I found this, http://amzn.to/1QbJaK7 , a capture card that records to an external hard drive. Never used it so not sure how well it would work, and I think you'd need an external monitor, but maybe a possibility!

I'd also recommend trying out the software OBS to record, you can tell it to use CPU or GPU to record(not sure your computer specs but could be a better solution)

I don't have personal experience with it, but the AVerMedia Game Capture HD2 looks like a good option. Works as a stand alone box with HDMI in and through, records to an internal HDD without needing USB for data or power. one drawback is that it can't be used as capture into a PC, unlike other AVerMedia products.

Like the one you linked it's under $150 but it's not clear if it includes a HDD, so might be worth a look.
