Recording tv with a computer

(1/3) > >>

BuriaL:
I were looking at some tv cards for computers a while back. I then learned something new.
On my graphics card theres a 9pin s-video port, wich should make it possible to connect to the tv decoder.

My grapics card is a Sapphire 4870. Nothing special..
Iam getting some cables and junk in the mail tomorrow, so ill have to wait.. I couldnt help myself from making this post tho :P


Now since ive never tried this before, anyone have advice for methods, software..something else?

vuzedome:
eh, your video card is the output, not the input. You'll still need a video capture card.

DigitalSteel:
Get something by Hauppauge

Xtras:
4870 is nothing special? I thought it was ATI's 3rd best card or something.

BuriaL:
Cant figure out if my card can do it, or if iam a stupid little monkey jumping for a banana.

Some guys with MSI 4870's got it working.. GRRR >:(

WHY!!!!!!!!!!


I wish i could just slowly strangle the mofo that wrote this in the catalyst manual:


--- Quote ---Video Capture

If your ATI Radeon™ graphics card has an S-Video in or VIVO connection, it can capture video from your camcorder, VCR, or TV. Use your favorite video editing application to add effects, make changes, or stream your video on the Internet.

The audio and video output connectors on your TV, camcorder, or VCR will be similar to those depicted in the illustration. Use composite video out or S-Video out. S-Video out will provide better results.
