It depends on how big the hard disk is and what recording quality is chosen. 30 - 45 minutes are possible on a TB hard drive. I bought the GameCapture for my son, but I haven't tried the hard drive directly on the laptop.

Dear Mr Boegli. Unfortunately, I have not yet had time to connect this device. As soon as I have enough time, I will be happy to answer your question. Until then, I remain with kind regards Thomas Fedi

So, yes you can, there is an additionally purchasable storage medium that can be integrated. I did not buy this, but simply connected my external HD via the USB slot at the front (visible in the picture). I hope I was able to help. I have not used the video editing programme that is on the unit for a moment, as I do not want to operate it via the I have not used the video editing programme that comes with the unit for a moment. greetings :)

No, with Game Capture HD II you can only record onto a hard disk connected to it(!). To tap HDMI to the PC, you can use a USB or PCIe card from the AverMedia Live Gamer or DarkCrystal series, for example: AVerMedia Live Gamer Extreme LGX (PC, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One) Alternatively, you can use your Firewire. If you don't have a Firewire port on your PC, there are many Firewire PCIe cards on the market. At Digitec, for example, you can find cards from the Delock brand: Delock 89153, PCI-E x1 to 2x 1394B + 1x 1394A

Hello, I have an HDMI splitter in between and use the device with a (MAG254-Set Top Box IPTV [HDMI/Dolby DIGITAL/DCP] ) instead of a game console. If the output signal from the console is in DCP you need an ( HDMI splitter [HDCP/HDTV compatible]) otherwise you have no picture.
