High End Video Capture?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday April 6, 2006 @03:50PM from the hardware-image-acquisition dept.

A reader asks: "I work for a very well known company specializing in Game Engine Middleware. Recently we've been trying to gather together marketing material for some new products, and one step towards that end is capturing high resolution gameplay footage (1280x1024) into some kind of movie file for editing. According to the 'experts', the best solution is to scan convert the DVI out into HDTV 1080p, and then HD capture it back into another PC for editing. Surely all this conversion to 'broadcast' quality is pointless - has anyone come across a pure DVI capture solution?"

I am of the opinion that ideas and thoughts should be shared. Patents have their uses for mechanical and not easily-copied materials, but while I am a programmer I feel that software should not be patentable. I am allowed to say that I did it, I just can't say how. I wish this boy some luck, though I think he should have searched Google a little more thoroughly.
