I just got an Elgato Game Capture HD60. I love it. I was using an internal card before that was primarily designed to capture video camera hard media recordings and convert to digital. It captured on its own memory rather than the computer's hard drive so I was limited in length. The Elgato is great. It plugs into the USB of the computer. The 360/X1/PS4 HDMI goes into the El Gato. Then an HDMI from the El Gato goes to the display or, in my case, A/V receiver.

It's a pure pass through so there is no effect on game play. There's a nice user interface. If you want to record, you press a red button. If you aren't recording and wish you'd captured something, as long as you had the user interface open, there's a time lag feature that you can go back to. Wish I'd bought it ages ago. This model doesn't do the PS3, but there's an older model, the Game Capture HD that does X1, 360, PS3, and PS4.

As you can probably tell, I'm not doing any editing. Since the Elgato creates an MPEG-2 file, I convert it to WMV to get a much smaller file size. The Elgato records to the destination of your choice. I've got a couple of 2 TB drives just for storage so I'm no longer constrained. I got the Elgato because I wanted to record complete Ur-D battles and I couldn't capture anything close to 10 min of content on my old internal capture card.

BTW, I posted a more complete video on the Death page in the Notes section. Unlike here, I don't use any boosters to show that it is the property of Magickal Radiance to cause enemies to flinch that causes Death to fall and not its power. This other video includes a short visual road map to the Fortress of Remembrance because its targeted at players who are entering the Fortress for the first time.
