I had el gato but had stream delay so I returned it. If you get one that is PCI-E it has little to no delay (avermedia)

So... with a capture card, you can stream directly to Twitch/Youtube right? If you're using one on a console, do you have to set it up with an external harddrive to save gameplay?

@itsyoung!!

The latest PS4 update enabled 720p/60fps streaming to both Twitch and Youtube. It's smooth af.

Only downside is, when you stream in this quality, it disables the console's recording feature. So I can't save quick gameplay clips when I pull off some :gladbron: shyt.

I'm thinking about copping a capture card just to record gameplay, and just use the console for the 720p/60fps streaming. What's the best way to accomplish this? I just want to be able to grab the last 5 minutes of gameplay... can I do this with just the capture card?

My PS4's in the mancave and I'm not going to move it up to the office, so that's why I'm asking.

Your vods/clips automatically save to twitch.tv so why would you need to save them to your own hard drive ? Can just download the vod from twitch and chop it up.

If you got a capture card you could just use your PC to record the game play as well but itll lag your stream probably

My streams can be long af breh, like 5 hours+ and it would be time consuming going back through hours of archived footage to grab a few minutes of action.

I would like having the option to save quick clips for highlight purposes. Maybe I'll just have to time stamp stuff during the stream when I do it. The ideal thing would be for me to be able to stream 720p/60fps directly from PS4, and have a capture card with a quick save feature for clips that would save to an external HDD.

The clips recorded on the capture card go to an external HDD, and then I have the 5 minute clips to go through and chop up on my PC. The Elgato's I've seen all require a PC being connected to it though, looking for one that would be able to just record to an external drive...

@GoldenGlove Virtua Fighter FS was added to backward compatibility on XB1 today. You should cop an XB1S and stream yourself getting worked by my Sarah like old times :lolbron:
