Step 1: Set your Xbox or PS3 intro 720p mode. Also double check to see that it's in proper widescreen.

Step 2: In your Roxio Capture Window select AVI as the file type to record into. This is the most troubling step from a technical standpoint. The default DIVX has a resolution of 848x480 or true 480p. However the codec bleaches colors quite badly and it compresses the videos a lot so the bit rate is very low. AVI records in 720x480 (upscaled 480p) but handles colors much nicer and has over ten times the bit rate of DIVX. If somebody can tell me how to fix the DIVX bit rate, that will be the better format.

Step 3: Click on the half sun thing in the capture window and change the color correction settings to:
Brightness = 108
Hue = 64
Sharpness = 0
Contrast = 32
Saturation = 36
Of note, if your brightness is significantly different than mine, these settings may be off. I will always recommend leaving sharpness at 0. Play with the brightness until the colors look rich or thick. Move the saturation slide only slightly as small movements make big differences in color.

Step 4: Click Output, then Export As, then chose "No" when the "Do you want to save..." prompt appears. Then in the second drop down menu under video quality chose Divx 848x480 or Windows Media 9 1280x720 depending on your preference.

These are the best settings I know for the capture card. Let me know if you guys can do better.
