thanks alot. recording is in fact really important for me.
so as much as I didn’t want to spend even more money, I’ve already ordered the new converter you listed in your past post. If that doesn’ t work out, I’m pretty much gonna throw out the pvr for a BlackMagic or capture card in the future.
Yeah, I think most people can agree the pvr is a hassle. If you have a powerful enough desktop, I recommend getting the BMI for sure.
I am having a problem. I had been streaming fine for the past week or two, everything was perfect. I then purchased windows 7 home premium, because the desktop i bought only came with a trial version of windows 7 home premium. ever since then, total media extreme has not been working or something. I use Xsplit to broadcast the total media extreme screen with the screen capture feature. The problem started when I was streaming and used the popout selection on JTV to type in my chat, I then went to exit out of my browser as it was taking up the entire screen region I was streaming. my desktop went all white and would stay like that for hours, until i forced it to restart. I then used the HD PVR as a camera in Xsplit and after about 3 minutes it completely freezes to the point where i have force restart of my computer again. If I use the screen capture feature of xsplit to capture the total media extreme2 section of my screen with no internet up, it still insists to freeze after about 3 minutes. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling both xsplit and the hd pvr disk provided with the purchase, still nothing. It’s very irritating that I had it working fine and then it just stops. It captures fine and records to the designated place on my computer perfectly. I also noticed that even if I am not broadcasting, this problem still happens after about 3 minutes it freezes.
PC specs:
intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @3.40GHz 3.70 GHz Processor
8 Gb of Ram
Windows 7 64-bit Operating System
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX550 TI 1GB PCIE
1TB Hard Drive
here is a link to what happens: (keep in mind this is not lag nor anything to do with JTV, as it happens when I am not broadcasting) be sure to watch entire clip. that white screen WAS the total media extreme2 screen that I record with or screen cap.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! 
has anyone tried this hdmi to component?
i want to use it on a ps3.
Thanks!
Might try contacting the seller directly and see what they say. I’d do it myself but I don’t have an ebay account anymore.
i need someone to recommend me a “tested with ps3” converter, cause i’m not from USA :C
I personally use this one below and can guarantee that it works with both PS3 and Xbox360.
The setup I’m looking to use inspired by this thread.
Xbox hdmi > hdmi splitter
Converter to pvr via component.
USB to computer for recording.
I’m looking to record live matches so im hoping this won’t lead to any extra lag. Suggestions?

I use that with PS3, no issues.
there will be no lag. As long as you are using a powered hdmi splitter.
So right, I’ve got something that’ll record off of component, and an HDMI splitter. Since I’m recording off of PStriple there’s HDCP. HDFury is said to strip the HDCP by converting it down to component but it costs £lots, would any other HDMI -> Component converter work? I sort of want to go for the cheapest option here.
I just bought an AverMedia GameCapture HD and I have a few questions. I know that I will need to get an HDMI splitter and a component to HDMI cable to make it work with my ASUS setup. Is that all I’m going to need? Keep in mind I’m not trying to stream with this. I’m using it to upload replays to YouTube from a tournament. I’m using a 360 to play games and was told I don’t need to worry about HDCP. Is this true? I watched the demo video WNF did for it after ordering and they said it’s possible to record via HDMI but some of the video quality for the replays will be sacrificed. This concerns me. I want the replays to look as good as possible for my YouTube channel. It seems like an amazing product just not ASUS monitor friendly out of the box. What about using VGA is that a more viable option or no? I just want to record matches at my next tourney I’m running I’m not using it to stream or anything which I don’t think is even possible with the Avermedia? If somebody could give a list of the items I need and link me that would be great. I’m also on a budget so hopefully it won’t cost too much to get this up and running for my tourney on the 21st without sacrificing the video quality if at all possible. Also, would the splitter cause any lag at all on the ASUS? Don’t want people crying about that at the tourney lol.
Has anyone mounted all their stuff in a case or anything like that to make all the stuff easier to carry around and set up? Any ideas on a way to go about it?
If you use the powered splitter that panda suggested, there will be no lag to the Asus monitor. As for the other output from the splitter that needs to go into an HDMI>Component Cable converter like this. Its an actual box not a cable that changes hdmi to compnent. Both the splitter and converter will also need power outlets as well, so keep that in mind.
i was thinking of mounting it to some sort of board with brackets and tie downs for all the cables for easy carry, but havent come up with anything
I think I’m just going to find the right size case and mount the stuff into foam sheets, the same way you would in a guitar pedal board.
Does the mixer in the first post just plug into the mic input on your laptop? Or does it have USB?
To connect a mixer to a PC use an RCA to 3.5mm audio cable from the output of your mixer into your PC.
Alternatively, get a USB audio interface. Even a cheap one like this will be likely be a quality improvement over your built-in sound card; it will also take RCA connectors direct out of your mixer. Most will also have a headphone jack so you can monitor exactly what the computer will be receiving, with no latency (listening to the audio through the computer is something I’d recommend against when setting up initially, because of the return latency.
Best, though, would be to plug the RCA output of the mixer into the input of the HD-PVR – that will make sure your audio (w/ commentary) is sync’d up to the lag of the video. The problem with that, though, is that you can’t use the audio passthrough directly from the HD-PVR – you need to split it before, and route clean audio to your speakers/television directly.
So would you recommend skipping that mixer and forking out the extra cash to get one of the USB ones?
Honestly? No. USB mixers, in my opinion, are generally a bad idea; they’re less versatile than having a separate ADC, you’re bound to having the mixer close to the capturing computer, and you get a worse mixer (and a worse ADC) for the price. And like I said, you don’t even need the USB ADC if you’re capturing video via the HD-PVR; just patch the output of the mixer into the HD-PVR and they sync nicely.
