One of the things I was hoping to do is record Lets Play Vids, and whatnot for my Youtube Channel. But It appears I may need a Capture Card to do so... Although I am curious as to what the USB Slot on my TV is for... I'll need to check the Manual for that I guess.
That USB is for flash drives with movies on it, it can't output, you'll need something like Firewire for that. Also, you can do LP's, although you're limited to being only able to do that with something like OBS. |

I assume I need a capture card with that, or am I missing something that would allow me to grab a Video feed from my WiiU? I'm assuming if I'm doing the gaming on my computer thats one thing, but I figure I'd need a capture card to grab Video Output from the WiiU right?

Yeah, you'll need a capture card.

Yes, if you want video from the Wii U, you will need either a capture card or a method to transfer live data into the PC. OBS is good for PC gaming and emulation, but I have no idea what's good for consoles. I just used a VCR. |

How much are capture cards generally worth, and where is a decent source to buy one?
Also do you think its possible for me to live stream from my Laptop or is it not powerful enough?

My bro says he's managed to do it on his 2000$ Desktop, so Internet Connection shouldn't be a problem. But as far as specs go I'm not entirely sure my computer will be able to handle it. We will see I suppose... |

i meant you could just test it by running some games on your laptop and seeing if you can stream them.

I don't have any games to run... Know any good, free games I'd probably be able to run while streaming? Also in the event I attempt it, is there a way to actually make sure its doing ok as far as streaming goes? |

You'll need 2Mb/s upload to stream at 720p. Stream yourself making a game. Watch the stream from Twitch or whatever you're planning on using to see how it's looking.

I should have the internet speed, I'm more so curious to see if my computer has the power to handle Lets Plays Vids, and Livestream Gaming. As far as game development goes, I lack the necessary software, & skills to really do anything as of yet, and presently don't have any money for it right now. This is why I asked about a decent free game to test it out with. You wouldn't happen to know if Cave Story is free on PC would you, that might be a suitable game to attempt. |

It is. You can google it. Also, it could be cool to just go the Devlogs and Feedback forums on here and try stuff. You'd get to test things out, learn more about what people are currently making and help out the folks get some love for their games. |

Tested a livestream, had a buddy check it out cause I don't have a internet connection that is able to stream, & monitor it simultaneously. He said it was fine, sounded ok, no obvious hiccups. So it pretty much settles that question.
Gonna buy a cheap Capture Card, one that utilizes the RCA Cables, that way if I want I can stream GCN, & PS2, Games. I won't be able to do HD, but I'm probably better off not doing that in the long run, at least not at first.
