The AverMedia Game Capture HD is extremely easy to use as well. It comes with a remote control that has everything you will need as well as a quick record button on the front of the unit itself. The remote is handy if you sit some distance from the unit. You can cycle through modes, access the menu, capture video and images and do other things like file management, playback videos, etc.
In my first attempts I had some issues with the capture, you can see one of the videos from that below, it’s gameplay from the Blade table in Marvel Pinball. This was captured when I had their triple-head cable attached to all three consoles, something they say not to do. The gameplay video is on the dark side and the sound is quite low. Definitely, don’t hook it up like this.
You can also see what I believe to be signal degradation because of the way it was hooked up. It seems that the signal leaks out of the other plugs to me from the looks of things.
Here’s another video that I did with the cable just attached to the console I was using, then uploaded to YouTube. The quality difference is notable as is the sound level.
Now the file I sent them was actually 1080i though they have a 1080p option which means they would have to do some upscaling on it. But it looks pretty good at 720p even.

Our Rating for AverMedia Game Capture HD Review (hardware)
9.0
Overall The quality of the videos and images the AverMedia Game Capture HD produces are quite good. Aside from some setup quirks and the lack of HDMI it�s a great unit and not needing to have it hooked to a PC means you can keep your PC and consoles in separate rooms. With HDMI and networking, it might get a 10.
