StarTech.com HDMI to HDMI Digital Video Cable - video / audio cable - 3 m

StarTech S-VIDEO to USB 2.0 capture cable

Advantages: Small, cheap, does what it says on the box
Disadvantages: none

I had to transfer some old VHS into DVD for convenience so I did browse the internet looking for something really good yet easy to use and most important not expensive. I found a lot of very good reviews about this product, so I decided to give it a go and bought one, well I have to say that it works beautifully, the manual is very clear, the installation was a breeze, the software bundled is very useful and whilst I'm writing the device is currently helping me to transfer my 10th tape and counting... The video output is surprisingly good in particular using the composite input, I checked with "graphedit" the directshow codecs used and they are the one provided by the bundled software, however because the device is a WDM compliant device you can use any capture software that will convert to MPEG2 with better codecs, again this is just ...

Review of StarTech.com S-Video to USB 2.0 Video Capture Cable

GAMEware Playstation 3 HDMI cable

Advantages: Cheap - does a great job
Disadvantages: None

This is a must have accessory for any Playstation 3 owner. The best way to send sound and video to your TV to play in high definition is through a HDMI cable. It is the most reliable and easiest way of doing it. A test recently done on the gadget show proved that a cheap HDMI cable will work just as well as an extremely expensive one. They both do the same job and one isn't better than the other. This cable from GAME is one of the cheapest HDMI cables I have seen in the shops and so if a definate buy if you are thinking of getting one. As the Playstation 3 system does not come with a HDMI cable in the box you will probably want to buy one when you pruchase your PS3 and if you are buying it in GAME then you should definitely go for their make of the HDMI cable. Don't bother spending more for the official sony one. They will both look ...

Review of GAME GAMEware PlayStation 3 HDMI Cable

Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

future releases should push the hardware far more the the original releases. Gamecube games looked clearer - I tested Star Wars Lego 2, Metriod Prime 2 and with Mario Kart. Mario64 on the virtual console was far better looking an looked really good in 480p. The game looks far better than the original N64 release due to the cleaner cleared visuals and increased definition. The burning question for Wii owners is do I need a component cable? Am I glad I got the Component Cable? Is it value for money? Well I can say yes, The Wii looks great on the TV and I was astounded by the improvement in clarity and colours. Was it worth £22? Well as my TV cost more that thousand pounds £22 is probably justified. What about us you cry? Well follow these principles: Have I got Component Video inputs on my TV? Is my screen 32" or larger ...
