happauge hd pvr

i use hauappauge gaming edition hd pvr is really good but when i record with the av cables the sounds start to lag and does not fit with the video.

Not sure what you mean as your post is not very explanatory

What set up do you use exactly? i.e cables that came with the PVR to the TV, then YPBPR cables to either your PS3 or XBOX console

Or a different set up, like AV only cables as your post suggests

I'm confused really, as the instructions, and vids I've seen all say use the YPBPR cables to capture footage with, it's what I use to capture my gaming footage for my PS3 and XBOX footage and I always get excellent results, game and audio are always in sync.

I've not heard of anyone using AV cables to capture any footage on the PVR with before, but I can perhaps see how the video-Audio sync alignment might be a tad out.

Can someone tell me anything in detail about the hd pvr?

There is a good video on youtube that I followed, I'll see if I can remember what it was, if I find it I'll post the link

BTW, I put YPBPR cables in my post, What I meant was HD av cables, sorry

OK IDFK - I found this:

"Strange video and audio lag with long MP4 videos, YouTube uploads cannot surpass 15 minutes, $199 is a bit pricey."

"The biggest problem I had with the HD PVR Gaming Edition recording in MP4 format dealt with syncing. I recorded close to 20 minutes of Mass Effect 3 gameplay footage on Xbox 360 before I noticed this. For some reason, the video played just fine within ArcSoft Showbiz. However, when played outside ArcSoft Showbiz, my video’s audio and video quickly got out of sync. It also got progressively worse as time went on.

Check out the video below to see what I mean."



If your videos are longer than 15mins maybe thats why you are having the same problems, other than that, I would suggest going into your settings and seeing if anything has set itself back to default.

And Gabe, I'll see if I can come up with something for you fella, on a personal note, I love HD PVR, it is a bit pricey but a great capture device imo.

thank you

Heres my take on Hauppauge. If you get the gaming edition your screwed. The recording software on the gaming edition sucks. The regular Hauppauge is great, if you know anyone with a arcsoft disk to download the software from the reg Hauppauge GET IT. Gaming edition usually comes with Business edition and is really annoying to use.

The arcsoft showbiz software definitely needs some work, but there are certainly work arounds. If you break the gameplay down to 10 min segments and then just transfer it to sony vegas you'll get a really nice end result. I certainly think for what it is and the ease of setup it is the best thing PS3 users can b short of spending 5k on a blackmagic capture card with paralleled SSD and all the rest of the non-sense you need to capture HDMI with a solo desktop.

Agreed

I have the sony vegas movie studio HD Platinum 11 Editing software, I never use the editing stuff that comes with the Hauppaugge PVR

It really doesn't come with editing software, Just recording software.

I seem to like Vegas Pro the best. Real easy to use and excellent quality.

Personally i use Total Media Extreme and ive had it for 3 years now and it works great for recording with the happauge hd pvr, after recording i place my videos into Sony Vegas Pro 11 and edit with ease
I would look into getting Total Media Extreme, i can send you a link to download it if you want
