    Default Cap Card Thread

    Go to thread for capture card issues/solutions/suggestions
    Post your problems, answer some if you can.
    Sound Good? Ok.

    Older Windows Install. Sony Vegas is not an option as an editor this time around.
    Can't use the same capture program either, VirtualDub. So I need a new capture program too. Suggestions?

    I really need to de-interlace my captured videos as well.
    The movement stuff blows. Solutions?

    I Have a limited amount of space around 20 GB
    Projected file size from captures in VirtualDub were 20-30 GB for a 2-3 min skate vid.
    Even if I reformatted, I wouldn't have the space.

    So I can use windows movie maker to capture straight to a video file..
    The file size is extremely low but my video editor can't do ratios for shit.
    In Theory, VirtualDub can De-Interlace and Re-size videos.
    If I switch up the file type to work in VirtualDub there may be hope yet.
    Probably a bit of quality loss coming but if it works It would be better than nothing.
    I'll post results if I have any

    download a trial of pinnacle. you have a free 30 days. literally one of the cheapest and easiest to use because of unlimited tracks(ultimate version 89 bucks right now actually $120+) The deal for ultimate comes with 2 pplugins worth over 100 bucks each apprently.....which I doubt for some reason. But either or. There is a solution....for 30 days.

    Bit off topic but what do you make your hip hop days in saunders, just a video editor?

    Well, I can't figure out what the issue is..
    Could be my connection from the device, the TV, The Laptop
    all three?
    This is a little better but not what I'm used to getting.
    Advice with Pinnacle?
    I used all HD settings, MPEG2. Still kinda hard to look at

    HipHop days are recorded with my video camera and edited inside Pinaccle, actually im using AVID which is the exact same thing just a different name.

    I record in 1080i so I always have to De-interlace and render at 1080p or 720p .

    what kind of connection are you using.....component cables.....composites.....(red blue green or red white yellow) Svideo???

    or what exactly is your connection...to capture?

    Right on.
    Well, I settled for the quality there.
    Now Pinnacle is randomly fast forwarding every time I capture.
    Nothing fancy though
    Red white yellow, female splitters and the s-video.
    Every time I think I've got something going it fucks up haha
    I hate these machines.

    You wont be able to render HD using composite cables and get good quality, creates artifacts and blahblahblah.....keep it SD and your quality should become a lot cleaner and easier to look at. If that doesnt make any sense.....Ill have to get a lil more detailed I guess.

    btw i have the Elgato Gaming Capture HD, its $159 but is more worth it in terms of reliability and compatibility. also.....its easy as fuck to use. not that other cap card arent, but from what ive experienced with my last one, i had to do a lot to capture a clip. make sure i had the clip set up. have two programs open, click record, make sure the clip plays trhough. hope no notifications pop up. hope the porgram doesnt crash, hope the cap picks up the screen.....yea....it wasnt nice.

    So you can deinterlace in pinnacle and I have been but my captures are grainy should I try capturing in I versus p? Im lacking ram on the laptop too so maybe that has something to do with HD formats and framerate jumps. Noted, Ill figure it out now.
