Xbox 360

After months of waiting, and with a few thousands euros missing on my bank account, I finally have the hardware to capture 720p videos of the Xbox 360 games. As far as I can tell Xboxyde is the first european site able to do this, and I'm quite proud of this. Anyway, here is a video I've done with the demo of Ninety Nine Nights as a validation of the capture process. Please let me know what you think !
This video is in 1280x720 resolution at 60 frames per second. Needless to say you'll need a VERY powerful PC to watch it correctly. I've found that using VLC to watch it is a very big help.
Update : Like the big oaf I am I totally forgot to thank DJmizuta for sending me the demo. Many thanks again, you rock!

Nice going Blim! What's your impression of the game? Will it make japanese gamers go out and buy those 360?

Awesome, but why AVI and not WMV ? :(

Because WMV is a pain in the ass to encode, and then I'd get the MAC / Linux crowd crying over the incompatibilites.
AVI / Xvid is a good middle ground for everyone.

This isn't a camera, this is a computer for capturing direct-feed videos. The camera is used for expos and such (E3, TGS, conferences), this is to be used for games sent to us. Better visual and sound quality with direct-feed.

Here's some more info:

I'm so so sorry about that, I was so excited about this video that I completely forgot to thank you properly. I just saw this as a test for the hardware and not the proper video for the demo, so it just didn't register in my mind. Stupid me.

Only 27% CPU usage during full screen playback - I was discouraged at first but it looks like I'm in the clear.

The video is fantastic, so smooth and it looks great! More than ever this makes Xboxyde the place to go for 360 media!!

This is only a test video to see if people are satisfied or not with it. With "proper" videos I will of course do both 1280x720 and 640x360 versions.
Actually I may now release big videos like the first 10 minutes that way:
- 960x540 and 640x360 versions full length.
- 1280x720 with only the most interesting stuff.

A video of GRAW at 720p would be orgasmic.

I'm spanish and I don't understand your english very well, sorry.

I can play a lot of videos at 720p, and the 960x540.

This video of N3 looks great, but my pc play it difficult...

But thanks again ;)
