So, I just finished setting up a cheap old Easycap with a few extra cables, and this is the result: Screenshot of my laptop (http://i.imgur.com/8KsfMJS.jpg) (view it in it's original size) The cool thing about it all: that is what I see comming from the PS3 even before I start capturing, with very little lag input. I had to trick the software into including post-fx, so the result is pretty amazing , considering how cheap the gear is. What do you guys think? Is it youtube worthy?

It is a lot better then half the stuff on YouTube that's for sure. However in terms of YouTube I am afraid that LBP2 is a dead game. D: but yeah its good enough for YouTube

Great to hear that in terms of YouTube I am afraid that LBP2 is a dead game. D: but yeah its good enough for YouTube Eh, I'm not looking into becoming the next big gaming channel, but that's not very fair towards LBP2. If a channel get's 10k views per video, I consider it a success, and from what I saw, there are some LBP channels that do pretty good. It's not really about fame and fortune when you're rocking a cheap Easycap xD. Edit: Also, this setup can double for a TV, now I can play games on my laptop screen at a decent quality

Nice work. It's as good as the next step up, which is an A/V RCA or S-Video capture card for the $40-120 range (I really hate that absurd spread). So what this proves is that $11 will buy you what the companies try to charge $120 for! That's tech for you, though. HDMI cables and monster RCA cables selling for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. All you need is a bit of wire and the right plug.

What do you guys think? Is it youtube worthy? I would add a warp sharp and levels filter and play with them. The image is pretty dark and blurry. After cropping the video won't be exactly 16:9, how YouTube will round down to 480p and whether you'll have black borders or not I don't know.

I would add a warp sharp and levels filter and play with them. Um... This is after some post-fx added directly on the live feed, but I'm still only demonstrating what can be viewed directly from the capture card. Other tweaks would obviously be applied during editing. That was not during editing The image is pretty dark and blurry. It's a 720x576 SD video, stretched to 1024x576, so a small amount of blurriness is unavoidable, but then again, some HD cards get even blurrier if we're talking about per pixel accuracy. I think it's pretty good, considering the resolution. The dark part I agree, I added some contrast and toned down the brightness to get colors to pop a bit. After cropping the video won't be exactly 16:9, how YouTube will round down to 480p and whether you'll have black borders or not I don't know. I wouldn't upload the raw file without going trough some editing first, that is mainly because a 480p video viewed in 480p on youtube looks worse than if you just upscale it to 720p.

I can't really answer the question in the OP in that case.

Apart from being slightly tweaked, it's the uncompressed data coming from the capture card, so anything added later would improve upon what can be seen, that's why I asked the question .
