I've been using the Live Gamer HD for a couple years now, and really never had a major issue with them. unlike the Roxio (back then at least) which didn't support 1080p 60fps,costed about the same or close enough tho. It required a key to login in the recording software which actually troubled me and my group during a livestream on location once. If only i didn't arrive too late because of the distance, my PC would have been used and it would still save time because of how quick and easy Avermedia works. It always works really quick, clean interface, records every console/PC while some other's had trouble with some devices. Easily configurable on the fly. works as expected in OBS, Xsplit and Wirecast. The Recentral software could be improved, like switching save location without canceling Recentral first, but those are minor hiccups that won't be needed a lot anyways (i always save to a "new" folder before sorting them, thus cleaning the newfolder up for new recordings etc.) They deserve some slack (imo). you were pretty harsh man :/
Hey Blunty, do you know if this capture card supports 640x480 in OBS? I've been using the Elgato HD60 Pro for over a year now, and I've been very frustrated with it's complete lack of support for capture Dreamcast footage natively. It also refuses to capture footage of PS2 games being played on the PS3. If you've tested either of these things, or perhaps have the information handy, I'd be really interested in knowing. If so, I might have to make the switch.
Regarding M-JPEG, maybe they were trying to get across that they don't use inter-frame compression? When you're only compressing within a single frame, you can reduce the amount of lossyness a lot, at the great expense of file size. Still seems like some very misleading marketing though.
So streaming with this I won't have any performance loss where as streaming using OBS's game capture I will? Also, the 6 frame latency.. Does that apply while streaming?
Ehh... Nice to know that it's a good card. But their not compressed but actually compressed anyway file format doesn't mean much when most of these will get used for YouTubr and Twitch, which force so much compression that you'd never know if the source was compressed or not. That multiple cards work flawlessly at the same time is a pretty good feature though! I bet a lot of people will enjoy that one.
Really quality video, been pondering picking one of these up for streaming and you sealed the deal quite thoroughly.

It does.
for uncompressed you may try YUY2 format instead of MJPEG, I'm also an avid AVerMedia user ;)

I know this is an OLD video but, right now they are doing a sale for Black Friday that makes these cards $99.
