Hi everyone,

I’ve been researching for the past three days how to use my capture card (external via USB, Dazzle DVC 170) to play Xbox games on a 21" LCD monitor I just purchased. I’ve tried countless programs, tutorials, and guides but with no success.

I know it is possible because when I open the program that came with my card, Pinnacle Studio, the preview for capturing mode works fine. However, there are two issues with using that. First of all, the preview screen is very small and cannot be maximized or put to full screen. Second, there is a time-lag.

I have tried ChrisTV, FullScreenTV, TVTrial, and VirtualDub, and they all arrive at the same result. When I open the program and configure it for my capture card, the preview screen is black. It doesn’t say that it cannot connect to the hardware device, but there is no video and no audio. If it works in Pinnacle Studio, I must have the hardware setup correctly, so there must be something I’m missing on the software end. I’ve installed loads of drivers which seemed to be relevant, but that has not helped at all, either.

Can anyone please tell me why I cannot see anything on my screen?

Thanks
