What makes this device work so incredibly well is the lack of reliance on a PC to record your gameplay. While you absolutely can hook this up to a computer to record console gameplay, you simply don?t have to. The Rocket can go anywhere and everywhere you need it to. This is ideal if you don?t have a computer or laptop to directly connect it to, lengthy HDMI cables, or even hard drive space to accommodate .

The codec used for recording is done with the widely used H.264 codec. It?s an MPEG-4 format, and records at 30fps.
