So I was thinking about buying an HDPVR to record some of my gameplay and I was just wondering if my MacBook is capable of it. It is the standard white one from '09. I have Version 10.5.8 with 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, and 1 GB/667 MHz of Memory. I know I would need to buy the HDPVR for about $200 and the HDPVR capture program for $30. Other than those would I need to buy anything? I was also thinking about just buying some cheap PC so I wouldn't take up space on my Mac and I wouldn't have to buy the $30 HDPVR capture. I don't value harddrive space too much on my Mac as it is quite old and I may be upgrading to a better Mac or PC in the near future. Can I get some recommendations? You guys are the best!
Got a tip for us?

I've seen people with older MacBooks that use the HD PVR by Hauppauge. I have a 2009 iMac and it works perfectly fine. Also, look to spend $100 for EyeTV too. It's the best software for recording. HDPVRCapture is pretty decent too, but doesn't offer the ability to edit clips the way EyeTV does.
