AverMedia GameCaptureHD to capture from camera on the fly?
 

Hello,

I just saw this product here. Its purpose is to capture video games being played on a PS3 or XBOX360.

It has component inputs and records at 1080i so why couldn't I plug the Sony Z1 into it to cut out the tape recording?

It's such a cheap little device for the potential hours and hours it will save me.

And I wonder whether the quality would decrease because I wouldn't be encoding at HDV but at H264.

Am I right?
