EyeTV vs HDPVRCapture for OS X (HD PVR recorders)

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Sun, 3 Nov 2013 16:14:00 -0800

First video in 1080p!

This video showcases what I like and dislike about both Elgato's EyeTV 3 software and HDPVRCapture software for recording from the HD PVR series of capture devices on Mac OS X. These programs are not necessary on Windows.

This video shows my personal opinions on the software necessary to record gameplay footage on Mac OS X for video reviews, commentary or let's play videos.

Personally, I much prefer EyeTV, but it will NOT work with HD PVR 2 devices that use HDMI inputs... so OS X users are stuck with the much worse HDPVRCapture software.

YMMV. If you love HDPVRCapture, fine. I don't... and I don't need to hear any crap about why you feel I am wrong in hating the software.

Killer Instinct Impressions

The Bearded Wonder (me) gives his impressions on the new Killer Instinct game for the Xbox One after playing the GameCom build at the Xbox One Road Tour Area Event.

In the fights shown, I am player 2, so on the right. I only talk for a little over 3 minutes, the rest is just footage of the matches. Stick around to the end for an Ultraaaaaa Comboooo!

PS4 to still have HDCP on games at launch...

unclethursday@gmail.com (Samuel Altersitz) — Fri, 20 Sep 2013 03:27:00 -0700

After reading a followup article, it appears that Sony has already implimented HDCP on the PS4 for everything, and will have to change the HDCP on games in a future firmware update. /facepalm

Sony removes HDCP on game content for PS4
