Roxio game capture cnet

While the system does make simple game capturing easy, it's otherwise a bit buggy, suffers from compatibility issues, and offers a subpar built-in editor. Setting up the Roxio Game Capture is a breeze. The only real hardware to install is the Game Capture box, which is essentially a pass-through for component cables. Roxio provides one set, so users will attach their existing component connection into the box and use the supplied set to attach back to the TV.

The Game Capture box doesn't require power, either, which is a plus for gamers who are tight on electrical sockets near their home theater setup. In order for capturing to commence, however, the included USB cable must be attached to the destination PC.

Unfortunately, only customers with a Windows PC will be able to use the software, as Roxio is not currently supporting Mac devices. Also, in our testing, we weren't able to install the software onto our Windows XP SP2 machine, which Roxio does claim compatibility with. It wasn't until we tried out a Windows 7 PC were we able to install the software.

Furthermore, we were a bit disappointed with the software's performance on our Asus laptop. It's not a slow machine by any stretch, but its Intel Core i3 running at 2.

Roxio suggests a Core Duo running at 1. Needless to say, that was simply not the case. In our testing we were left with out-of-sync audio and video, drop-outs, and an inexplicably sped up video.
