How to Capture?

[ske7ch]

Well, im currently using the *Hauppauge WinTV PVR PCI II* that came with my HP PC.

My goal is to capture video while i play my xbox 360.

Ive tried to run a basic Video/Audio cable from my TV Output, to my Video Input, and have also tried connecting the xbox360 directly to it.

Using Windows Movie maker, i cant seem to get an Image to show up at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've tried other programs such as VirtualDub and only get a static filled screen.

Please help, sorry for double post.

Do you have the output resolution setup right? Like 720x480 NTSC.... etc. I'm not familiar with xbox video output settings but I would imaging that is where the problem is.

Also, did you select the proper input in your capture card..... s-video or composite-in? Whichever one you have connected....

Good luck.

The static filled screen in virtualdub is probably it's default input from 'tuner' setting (the coax input). If you are using s-video or the composite video input you will need to select it in the Capture Source menu item.

Good luck.

well ive tried everything.

But i want it to work this way.

Xbox -> TV -> Capture card.

So i can play on my tv, and capture it on my PC.
But i cant get Anything to show. I tried every video setting in my 360 and nothing helped.

Well i managed to get it to work.

I slide the HD button off on the Xbox360 output..
Ran the RGB to the TV and the Yellow/red/white composites to the Computer (the xbox cable is split, incase you dont have an HD TV).

Now i got video and audio on Vdub, but only video on windows movie maker.

But i loose HD and get no sound on my TV....

So its a loose loose.

Id really prefer to have the video output come from my TV to the capture card. But i cant get that to work.
