New Roxio Game Capture Products from Rovi Let You Share Your A-Game

Rovi Corporation today unveiled Roxio Game Capture and Roxio PC Game Capture, two affordably priced products that offer a straightforward way for gamers to quickly and easily capture and share PC and console game play videos.

In-product tutorials help everyone get set up quickly and immediately begin to capture and showcase their latest campaigns, adventures, ball skills, and race sequences. Gamers may use the products to post their high scores, tips & tricks, game reviews, or even a feature-length movie, or Machinima, based on game play footage. See the products in action here.
"While some gamers are already creating and posting game play videos, we believe there are many more waiting on the sidelines for solutions that deliver the right mix of ease-of-use and features at a good price point," Corey Ferengul, EVP Products at Rovi Corporation. "Roxio Game Capture products are these solutions, making it easy for everyone to capture, edit, post, and boast about their latest gaming accomplishments. After all, setting a track record in GT5 or wreaking havoc in Call of Duty is pretty satisfying in itself, but it is far more fun to discover how your game play stacks up against the best of the Internet."

Rovi offers two unique products that enable both console and PC gamers to capture, edit, and share game play videos:

For Console Gamers:
Roxio Game Capture is a hardware and software combination for recording and sharing console game play and is priced at $99.99.
  • Roxio Game Capture enables the real-time capture of game play videos from Xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. Users may play games in full HD on the TV, while recording the content to the PC. The quick-to-set up USB hardware capture device includes component video and stereo audio inputs, and ships with a component, RCA audio, and USB cables*. Users can record game play in 480p and output to AVI, WMV, DivX, and MP4. Still image screen shots can be saved as JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP or GIF file types.
For PC Gamers:
Roxio PC Game Capture is a complete software solution for quickly recording and posting PC game play and is priced at $49.99.
  • Roxio PC Game Capture allows users to record PC game play footage in real-time. Video sequences and still images can be captured in HD at full screen resolutions. The application supports DirectX 8-10 and OpenGL based PC games. Compared with other offerings, Roxio PC Game Capture not only provides a more complete solution (including features for capturing, editing, and posting in one package), but also enables gamers to spend less time managing and posting files and more time playing.
  • Both Roxio Game Capture and Roxio PC Game Capture ship with an uncomplicated, yet full-featured video editor that lets users turn raw game play footage into an engaging video complete with transitions, commentary, background music tracks, and titles. Gamers can also tap advanced features including a 32-track timeline editor featuring picture-in-picture, animated credits, and special effects capabilities to further personalize their productions. The products include simple upload features for directly posting completed videos to major online communities including Facebook, WeGame, and YouTube, including popular game play sharing channels such as http://www.youtube.com/user/machinima.
In celebration of the launch, Rovi is teaming up with Intel on a Roxio Game Capture sweepstakes. Visit www.facebook.com/roxio for more details and to enter the sweepstakes for your chance to win a copy of Roxio Game Capture or PC Game Capture, as well as first and grand prizes of Intel Core processor fueled HP laptops - HP ENVY 14 series with Intel Core i7 and the HP Pavilion Dv6t with Intel Core i5. Both systems are equipped with Intel performance enhancements including Intel HD Graphics capabilities, built-in Intel Hyper-Threading and Intel Turbo Boost.

Roxio Game Capture products are Windows 7/Vista/XP compatible and optimized for maximum video encoding performance through support for the latest NVIDIA CUDA and ATI Stream technologies. In addition, Roxio Game Capture products leverage Intel Enhanced for Core technologies like Intel Quick Sync Video to provide a great game play capture, conversion, encode, and sharing experience.

Roxio Game Capture will be available March 24th at www.roxio.com/gamecapture. Roxio PC Game Capture will be available in the second quarter. Both products will be offered at major North American online and retail outlets including Amazon, BestBuy.com, and GameStop.com.

Another example of HDMI (HDCP) fail for the consumer. Awesome! we can save analog videos in the digital age for $99. Oh, plus the purchase price of the component cables if you don't have them. lol

I hope they do something, its been a while since they've had a new release, hopefully this will do something for it.

I wonder which one has the biggest performance hit when recording?

How about this one? I got a 70% discount on all their products...so I was thinking on purchasing it



edit: bummer, the video mode capture doesn't seem to record the audio, at least that's what reviews say...
