Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro (PC GAMEPLAY RECORD)

[TommyGun]

hello, I use a HDTV (with one spare HDMI input) as my PC monitor I want to try to use that to record high quality HD Gameplay video without my PC lagging while capturing. also my sound is 5.1 from a creative sound card I would need this to be in-sync with the video captured. (impotent) If you could try this and get back to me, it would be great cheers

I have i spent 5 days researching with no luck. I did find tons and I mean TONS of how to connect with a PS3/xbox but I dont have those. I just have a PC.

If you had read then you know by now that can not alway record HDMI

You cannot get smooth gameplay and recordings simultaneously on the same computer with the Intensity Pro. It's too CPU and I/O intensive.

Hello TommyGun,

The only way is apture for another PC.

FRAPS is no good (slowtimes) or lag my games.

I record my PC gamer on my HTPC. Nice videos records.

My Capture Card is AVER HD-DVR (720p or 1080i).

[TommyGun]

Cauptain can you tell me your setup and how you connect 2 PCs and do you have any videos that you could show me? this i need to know, your recording PC specs, how many monitors you have, how they connect to the card and so that the sound is in-sync with gameplay. i know its asking alot but im sure other people would want to know to.

[TommyGun]

is this the card you are talking about

AVerMedia AVerTV Capture HD

I can get it for $173 NZ (witch is $120 USA)

Hi TommyGun,

My Specs:

PC 1 (Game PC): Win 7 Ultimate 64bits, C2D E6600, 8GB RAM, 500GB HD, Geforce 9800 GT (DVI to HDMI cable), SB audigy 2 ZS and 22º Monitor.

PC 2 (HTPC) : Win 7 Home Premium, C2D E7300, 3GB RAM, 500GB HD, Geforce 9800 GT (HDMI to TV), SB audigy 2, AverTV HD Capture Card and 42º HDTV.



My Setup:

Video: PC1 (1280x720) connected to PC2 via HDMI in AverTV Card (No monitor to PC1 when play and record)

Audio: PC1 Speakers Stereo output on PC2 Line input.



My Records:

I use NERO VISION (720p settings) to record video because produce "Very High MPEG2 bitrate" and no LAGGY the "Capture PC".

Sometime I use Nero Vision with AVI settings for BEST IMAGE QUALITY, but produce BIGGER FILEs (1 minute in 720p - 2,5 gb with MLC lossless codec 0.8).


Theres a no secret.Configure both PCS and Play & Record.

For now I dont have published PC videos on YT, only Street Fighters games on EASYCAP USB capture (See my video quality for a 15 U$ Capture Card and PS3).

My AverTV is old model: http://www.amazon.com/Avertv-Definition-Analog-Capture-MTVHDDVRR/dp/B002SQE1O0

Have any question, reply.

If you have a graphics card with two video outputs, and one can output component video with standard HDTV properties (720p, 1080i) you should be able to use a Hauppauge HD PVR to capture on the same computer you're playing on. Set the component output to mirror the main monitor and route it to the HD PVR. The HD PVR has a hardware h.264 decoder so all the computer has to do is save the data stream to a file. That typically takes only about 1 percent of the CPU, leaving 99 percent for the game.

[TommyGun]

thank you both of you,

Jagabo, I have a GTX260 it has 2x DVI-D outputs, one is in use with my HDTV, and I have a S-video output (not in use)

what would i need to connect a hauppauge HD PVR, do you mind using this site to link me the things i need as this is NZ's top cable and Electronics store. www.dse.co.nz

thanks

Only if your graphics card puts out component video at the DVI port. Not all do.

You would run that cable from the graphics card to the Hauppauge HD PVR. USB from the HD PVR to the capture computer (which can be the same computer you are playing on).

If you are using an HDTV as your primary monitor and only have a single output on the graphics card you could use that cable from the graphics card to the HD PVR, a USB cable from the HD PVR to the capture computer (which can be the same computer you're playing games on), and standard component cables from the HD PVR's passthrough connector to the HDTV. The picture via component is quite as good as digital DVI or HDMI.

i'm trying make tutorial shows how to do certain things on the pc using my black magic card i have the HDMI to DVI to the other pc but all i am getting is a black screen i even try my blueray kinda knew it wouldn't work copy write crap lol but tried it anyways i get like a fliker of green and bit of sound for like a sec but that's it. did i spend 200 dollars for nothing? i palyed around with the settings under the media express 1080i and 720 went through them all but all i get is a blank screen

[LilNat469]

if anybody answers my question oh i would buy you dinner lol

[LilNat469]

i understand if i use the green and red cables but what about HDMI wouldn't that be better picture

[LilNat469]

ok just looked at dvi to component adapter i guess i cant do that inless i have a crapy ati card i have a 9800 EVGA come on lol

[jagabo]

HDMI can deliver slightly better picture quality than component. But where are you going to get an HDMI signal that isn't protected by HDCP? The BMIP won't capture HDCP protected HDMI.

[LilNat469]

hey got it going i guess its going take another nvidia card on the other side to change DPI settings to 720i wish it would do 1080 ohwell im not griping now i want to record in dos how to setup windows and some other things now im going have to turn around and buy a vga scanner

[LilNat469]

read a guys post back on youtube he said its pointless to record a pc from another pc after he had the blackmagic card he gave me some website camtasia it looks good but im already broke from the black magic card lol

[LilNat469]

yea couldn't get it on the blueray because of the hdcp ohwell i have a tv card ill just run it through the av craper picture but it works not to worry about it since i want to make training videos with the card

[Anzhiel696]

Sorry, im french but i have some problems with this intensity pro card to make a video of my computer: look what happened in attached file.

Thanks for help

Looks like 1080i60 interpreted as 1080p30. Are your input settings set correctly? If you can't solve it though, it's easy to fold back unfolded fields with something like VirtualDub or AVISynth.
