Hauppauge PVR 1212 is one of the greatest HD Personal Video Recorders (PVR) that help users record videos directly from cable TV and satellite set top boxes at up to 1080i. It includes a Hauppage's WinTV scheduler to schedule TV recordings, and a built-in IR blaster to change TV channels automatically. In addition to recording TV shows, one of the most adorable features of Hauppauge PVR 1212 is that it can even capture Xbox, Xbox 360, PS3, etc. gameplay videos in high definition! On the other hand, as YouTube views earning money for partner channels, and indie developers needing game capture footage of their games, there's a great number of players who want to upload their game capture HD PVR to YouTube for various purposes these days.

However, since HD PVR does all of the H.264 encoding on the box itself, in other words, unless you're just filing the videos or using your computer as a storage device (and then access the recordings on your Xbox 360, for example), you will need a high-end PC to edit and playback the game capture HD videos that you recorded. In this regard, it is difficult for many game players to upload their game capture HD PVR to YouTube because the HD PVR video format and codec do not fit YouTube at all, yet they don’t have the access to edit the PVR files via their not-so-high-end computers.

Don’t worry anymore! I’ve found the best solution to upload HD PVR to YouTube---to convert HD PVR to YouTube-friendly video format! What we only need is a professional HD PVR software like Doremisoft Video Converter (Video Converter for Mac). Operations are very simple. Check it out here:

Before the conversion, you should transfer the HD PVR videos to your computer through a USB cable or an SD card adapter. Thereafter, load the videos to the HD PVR to YouTube converter by clicking "Add File".

Hit "Profile" and choose "Common Video"--->"FLV", which is a widely used network video streaming media format and fit YouTube most. You can also customize the detailed output parameters by clicking "Settings".

When you finish all the settings, simply click the big green button and"Start" the conversion. After that, you can easily upload the converted .flv videos to YouTube.
