I'll eventually have a much more thorough streaming guide posted here that will include this, but I figured I'd go ahead and post this for now.

A little while back I figured out a way to create a simple instant replay using just regular consumer capture devices, it needs at least one USB capture device, it might work with two USB devices but I use one USB device(AverMedia Live Gamer Portable) and one PCI device(AverMedia Live Gamer HD), partially because that's what I have, partially because I don't want to worry about overloading my USB ports in the middle of streaming a tournament.



It's mostly for people who capture their consoles and stream from there, though you can also probably run your PC's videocard output through an HDMI splitter and accomplish the same thing.
