I've been looking into capture cards . The purpose of which is to be able to record xbox360 or ps3 footage onto a computer for later editing . As both these consoles are hi def (or at least pretend to be) I'd love to fork out a few thousand on a rig that can split hdmi and then input it onto a computer that will probably need a good few terabytes .

Sadly though I'm on a budget and SD will have to do . I have a passing knowledge in brand reliability relating to capture cards due to working at a local electronics retailer . From what I've seen hauppauge is not such a good brand to go for . Which ones are? The only one that seems to have a good rep is leadtek Winfast (perhaps the VC100XP?) . ascent . co . nz/productspecification . aspx?ItemID=336902" target="_blank">www . ascent . co . nz


In short: RCA inputs . Budget of ~$100, barely stretchable to $200 if it will get component inputs or an major quality boost . Reliable brand is a must .

Sorry if this has been a bit long winded, computer specs follow:

Intel Quad Core Q6600
Geforce 8800GT 512MB
2GB RAM
2x 500GB hdd's
Creative X-Fi Audio Card
Windows XP Home 32bit .

Finally how much space would 30 mins of footage take up in SD

Check the forums at VideoHelp (http://www.videohelp.com/) as someone is bound to have done something similar.
