can't record my playstation 4

Hi. Has anyone been able to record their playstation footage using Bandicam? If so, I really wish you would give a dunce like me really good instructions how to do that. :-) I tried using the directions on the Bandicam site, but it didn't work. Here is what I did: I first connected my playstation to my Tv using the HDMI cable. Now, the first step says to connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port. The HDMI port of what? I assume it meant the computer? But I don't have an HDMI port on my computer, only a USB port. So, I had to go buy a USB to HDMI adapter. So, I plugged the cord from my computer into the Elgato game capture device in the HDMI in slot. And that's basically all I did because that's all they said to do. I started the game capture device software, started Bandicam, but the device recording mode of Bandicam wasn't showing up. I'm at a loss. I spent a lot of money to ensure I could record through Bandicam, and now it looks like that was a wash. I don't know if this is important, but I have my playstation and computer all connected to the television screen. Help?

Hello!

Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port of your PlayStation and your capture card as shown below:

the device recording mode of Bandicam wasn't showing up.
If you still can't see the capture card on Bandicam, please install a suitable device driver from elgato.com
If it is possible, please plug the capture device into a USB 3.0 slot.

You may also contact the elgato team to record PlayStation 4.

I believe the Elgato Recording devices only work with the Elgato Capture Software. They don't seem have proper DIrectshow drivers, to expose the device to Bandicam. At least, I could never get Bandicam to pick up my old Elgato HD.
