    Hey all, amateur editor here. I currently use a Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder USB 2.0 and Vegas Pro 9 to do my videos. I want to make the transition to HD vids. I now they’re very memory intensive. I’m thinking about getting an internal capture card for my PC for when I do captures on my xbox 360 because I want to capture at 720p or higher. Also planning on getting a powered HDMI splitter.

    Anything I should look for in terms of hard drives, capture cards, or HDMI splitters?

    Thanks!

    System specs for those wondering:

    GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

    6GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM (definitely going to get more!)

    500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

    DFI LANPARTY JR X58-T3H6 LGA 1366 Intel X58 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard (w/ USB 2.0 x 6 ports)

    Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor

    850 Watt Power Supply

    Acer 23″ 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor

    I’ve been using a Hauppauge HD-PVR to capture HD TV and it works really well. You could connect it between your XBOX 360 and your HD TV via the component video out and it will record full 1080 resolution. Be sure to record in AVCHD mode. That edits best in Vegas. It connects to your PC via USB 2.0 so no internal card required.
