I want to capture some video from my Xbox 360 using one of those Dazzle capture cards, but I think you have to have a "tv/video out" signal from your TV right?
Does anyone have any ideas if I can work around this?
I have a Westinghouse 32" LCD.

Erm...yes, you would needsome kind of video out connection! I can't believe it has none, have you consulted the manual?Originally Posted by jthompson99
The only workaround would be to point a camcorder at the screen. :P"Just another sheep boy, duck call, swan

Actually, I think my tv is considered a "monitor". It doesn't have a built in tuner even though it is HDTV.

You didn't say how you connect the XBox to the TV.Originally Posted by jthompson99
Wouldn't work even if you had composite out from the TV. The HDTVs I've seen would show only the output of the NTSC tuner.
If S-Video you would need one of these.

I connect the Xbox to the TV using component video cables.

And an ADS Pyro 480i analog component to DV (Firewire) transcoder.

Or one of the HAVA products that will take component 1080i or 720p in and downscale to 480i for recording to disk.

Doesn't the Xbox 360 have a composite or s-video output? Does it output to both component and to one of those at the same time? If so, you don't need a video output from your TV or a component video splitter. Just leave the component video running to the TV and run composite or s-video to the Dazzle.
If you want high definition captures you will need a high def component capture card like the Hauppauge HD PVR (hardware h.264, includes passthrough to TV) or BlackMagic Intensity Pro. -
You guys were right, I need a video distribution amp.
Thanks."Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore.
