external video capture card

Hi


I am looking for an 'external video capture card' that will record a screen and sound from a PC or preferable a mac at 30fps and 1080p that I can then edit with I have a budget up to £150 but can go further if need be. This is for video game trailer i am putting together which is why i need to be able to record the screen.


If anyone has any suggestion please reply with links to where I can buy the device from.


Thank You

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

The original MXO? or the larger MXO2? There's the original MXO that would convert a DVI signal to Component, SDI and all that...or turn a computer monitor into a darn good broadcast monnitor. That connected via DVI.


The MXO2 is a big box, connected via a card on a tower, PCIe, or a card on a laptop, PCI Express. Then there was the MXO2 LE, and MXO2 Mini.


Which do they have?

If you have a DVI port on the computer, yes it is.


Hmmm...or maybe not. That's a really REALLY old device, and it might not work with the newer OS. Here I see it has issues with QT 7.5:

Here's my review of it:

Here's a pretty thorough setup guide...

But I fear that it's too old for the computer and OS. Matrox stopped supporting it a while ago.

Thank you for all your help Shane.


Currently we have got the blackmagic intensity shuttle working on my friends computer through his thunderbolt connection but we have found that we can only capture at 59.94fps, because that is what the windows operating system works at, we ar using media express on macbook pro whist capturing from a pc which the game is being played on however the game we are capturing is at 30fps are we going to loose quality or have any issues if we change the frame rate?
