Could be the solution to my problems. With that i can connect the HD fury 3 vga output with that cable and then connect it to my Avermedia live gamer HD.
It’s incredibly unlikely that those would work – those kinds of cables are non-converting, so they will only work with devices built specifically to accept non-HDMI signals over the HDMI connector. It sounds like the AverMedia is NOT one of those devices. Your best bet would be, as someone else mentioned earlier, grabbing a component or VGA to HDMI adapter (like this one), then pushing the HDFury’s output signal into that, and the HDMI output from that into your AverMedia. The converters generally don’t re-add HDCP onto the signals they convert to, so you should be good to go. Frustrating, unnecessary, but… that’s kinda the path forward, from what I can tell with your setup. Alternatively, go a different route, capture-wise. I don’t know of any decent HDMI->HDMI HDCP strippers at this point, and I don’t know that AverMedia’s software could be easily hacked to strip HDCP (it’s… not just a driver thing, generally speaking; HDCP is a pretty universal PITA for us for a reason).
Is that isn’t the case, and this cable dosnt work to connect my HDFury 3 VGA output into my Avermedia live gamer HD.
What is the best VGA to HDMI converter that i could buy for this issue? i dont want to spend more money than the necessary… after all the HDfury 3 it kinda expensive.
Unlikely; the problem is, just a cable will not be able to do the conversion – “real” HDMI (what the AverMedia wants) is a set of digital signals, while VGA and Component both are (different) sets of analogue signals. Basically, you need some sort of box.
That one looks like it might work, though this one that I linked before is showing up as a few dollars cheaper to me, and I’ve seen people here talk about it in particular as being decent (haven’t used it myself, but I keep up a list of equipment for reference, and according to that list, someone here at some point said it was a good quality one).
I, unfortunately, have no idea. I should really start just linking the posts that I take my notes from, 'cause the line from my notes just says “YPbPr/VGA -> HDMI; member claimed ‘zero’ latency (visual, unverified) [SRKTT]”. If you happen to grab it, let me know how you like it so I can point to your notes the next time someone comes looking for a rec. Especially if you have the capacity to do latency testing (though this sort of adapter probably won’t commonly be used for the player monitor, so latency isn’t quite as big of an issue).
Just wanted to post and say thanks to everyone in the thread. I’ve got everything working now as far as video goes. The new HDDs installed fine and I can capture over seven hours of sweet, unencoded HD raws with nary a frame drop. Still shopping for the audio side of things, but I’m in business now. Big thanks to Jaxel’s guide, Potatoheads’ OP and everyone asking/answering questions here. You’ve all been a big help. I went from knowing piecemeal information to bypassing a lot of potential headache had I’d try to do this on my own.
I’m struggling to stream audio from my Dazzle when using Xsplit or Flash Media Encoder.
I follow all the steps shown in multiple tutorials but no sound comes out at all.
I think the problem is to do with Virtual Audio Cable (the program required to stream audio); I’ve installed it fine and the driver shows up in my Sound Settings on Control Panel, but I don’t think the driver is working properly. One of the steps is to do this:
Hi guys, I recently got set up for recording with an Elgato Game Capture HD. The only problem I’m having with it is that the realtime video on the monitor is being cropped slightly (I think it gets slightly bigger than when the capture device isn’t connected). I talked to Elgato’s customer service and they said that it might have something to do with overscan (?) but since the recorded video is fine, I should talk to Dell (my monitor is a Dell S2409W). Dell just pointed me to the manual.
Anyone here have experience with the EasyCap? I installed the drivers I found online for it, and Xsplit recognizes it, but I can’t get it to have any audio and it looks relatively fuzzy. Using the same setup but with the SD inputs of my Aver card give me full sound and a clearer capture. Any ideas what I’m missing?
Using Win 7 Ultimate and the brainytrade HDMI > composite converter.
The easycap in general is kinda fuzzy. And it really doesn’t seem to deinterlace well in xsplit without some how making it slightly more blurry than it actually is. The audio problem is odd though. I’ve never had that happen. Have you tried seeing if the audio works in other programs like virtual dub or FME? For me the audio works just fine. Although I’m kinda confused at what you mean by how your describing your set up here. Are you saying that you’re running the easycap into your aver?
Nah, just after I couldn’t get audio on the EasyCap I tried plugging into my Aver card instead to see if it was an issue with my splitter/converter. My setup is console > HDMI splitter > (monitor) + HDMI to composite converter > capture device. I’ll try out FME later and see if I have any luck there, I could deal with the visual crappiness since it’s an $8 device and whatnot, but I figured having no audio was abnormal.
I’ve never had an easycap take in audio properly and its pretty common. To get audio along with an easy cap usually an RCA to 1/8" adapter is whats normally used.
Hrmm, would you still be able to use a microphone then? I’ve been trying to find a workaround with VAC to get my two microphone input jacks combined into one line that Xsplit would pick up as the microphone line, but haven’t had any success with it.
