What Kind Of Capture Card To Use When Recording Computers
Apr 20, 2011
picking a capture card to record computers (i would like to record a game called Minecraft and i dont know what kind of capture card to use). Also i have a Gateway laptop?
I regularly video sports events with my Canon Legria HFS10 and download the results to my Dell Inspiron 1545 which has Windows 7 home edition 64 bit. Problem is that I'm limited to 3 hours full HD capture on camera and usually the event goes on longer than that without breaks. Is there a way I can capture from camera to PC while still recording the event, because there is no pause long enough to do a download during the event? The cam has a component out and HDMI out. Full HD quality is important.
I've installed windows 7 and I need to install drivers for my graphics card but I don't know what kind I actually have. Where can I look for that info?
like the title states i keep hearing about how i need a video capture card to make machinimas from game play i record from my xbox 360, however i havent a clue how i go about looking for this or if it is even necessary for windows 7 os laptops (i dont have desktop) so any and all info would help, from what i already found out there are 2 types USB and internal hardware inserts and installations available but the rest is a mystery to me so if anyone has information on this i could use it for sure.
My motherboard has on board audio which I disabled in my bios in order to use my recording sound card. This worked flawlessly for over 2 years. Then sometime last year Windows installed my "Missing HD Audio Driver" which disabled all sound until i enabled the on board sound in the bios again, this of course meant i couldnt use my recording card.ll Windows and driver updates have been turned off, it still installs.After many attempts at fixes i found online I gave up until more recently when i reformatted the computer and got it working. Then yesterday it started again
I have a computer that did work so I change the CPU and video card and now it don't work. The CPU is compatible with the motherboard, I check and the Video card works on another computer so does everything else. So everything works and has been tested except the new AMD 965 CPU. I can't get any video so can a bad CPU not even give you video and how likely it to get a bad CPU?
I am using 7 Ultimate.Two days ago I was tempted to try I.E.9, D/L it but decided it wasn't for me.Did the uninstall in "Add/Remove".Later I realised that my yellow folders, from "My Docs" etc down to folders I'd gathered work in would not now open with left clicks, only with R click and "Open". The message I get is "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing these actions.Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel".how do I define my "yellow" folders in order to assign 'em to something that will open them with? If I drag "My documents down to the taskbar and pin it to Windows Explorer then it will open from there with no problem.I gather that Windows Explorer is the programme to link 'em to but how?
My computer has been randomly shutting down for the past few days, and i have no idea what could be causing it.i'm currently running windows 7 home premium x64. it is OEM preinstalled.the laptop is a T520 from lenovo and is approximately a month old. the os is the same age as it came with the laptop, so about a month old.
I'm trying to wipe my pc, and reinstall windows 7. I have to use a downloaded version. It's legit, I've used it before. I just want to rid my pc of all the crap on it.I have a toshiba satellite p755d. It won't boot from any kind of media, nor does it seem to recognize it until windows is loaded.I went to the bios to change the boot order but I couldn't find that option anywhere. I've tried all the function keys as well as holding down the "c" button when the pc boots up.The most I get is a "Windows Error 'something'" I can't remember what it says at something.
I have a Hp compaq desktop windows 7.What kind of video driver do i need to allow my vga screen splitter adaptor to allow me to use dual screens?NOT MIRRORED SCREENS,BUT DUAL SCREENS FOR MORE SPACE.
Is there any way to compensate for the bluetooth headphone audio delay while watching Live TV in Media Center? For movies it's simple I can do it through Media Player Classic but I don't see how to change any kind of audio shifting setting within Media Center.
In the past few days, I have gotten many BSOD's while browsing the web, playing games, or talking to people on Teamspeak 3. Usually the BSOD/crash hits me usually an hour in while I'm doing those things in a session. Before I did get BSOD's and crashes but they were few and spread out. I never responded to them because they happened very sparsely. Now that they are very constant, I need to do some action. I have went into safe mode right now and am typing this on another computer. As for the dmp files, I didn't have the option for the BSOD crashes to save dmp files but now that that is enabled, I do have one dmp file that I can share.
Also I have noticed that sometimes that when the computer crashes, the sound becomes very distorted, the screen tears/fuzzes into a static-like image and then it just restarts. I either get this kind of crash or just a simple BSOD. It's very strange. Apparently these are considered BSODs as well according to bluescreenview, they just dont have the bluescreen. Interesting..

Things that I have done but to no avail: - Deleted MSI Afterburner -Deleted Daemon Tools -Completed a Memtest86 on my RAM. No errors even after 10 passes. -Took out the RAM sticks, cleaned and then put back in their sockets. -Cleaned the computer for dust -Used Ccleaner to scan for problems and junk. -Full scan of Malwarebytes. Caught 7 things but still nothing changes. -Done an SFC /scannow scan -Downloaded all the major Windows 7 updates. -chkdsk scan.
Temperatures vary but they tend to stay normal. CPU average temperature is around 40 C idle. GPU Temperature is about 40C idle, 50C viewing videos, and and may hit to around 60-65 C while gaming. Fan speed on 55%. Temperatures when computer is idle on the desktop. Screenshots included below: The first bluescreen after I enabled the computer to allow dump files. More examples in the Mediafire list. I have some of the txt and DMP files but I cannot find an "include file" option here: I just upload them on Mediafire. Here are those links. [URLs]
Screen Hunter is a screen capture application (freeware) that works off mouse click or hot key, you can edit the capture before saving captures are Rectangular Sizable, Active Window Full Screen, and has a timer delay (great for capturing drop downs etc). The quality of the capture is perfect, I have been using Screen Hunter for years on Windows XP, Vista and now Windows 7, if your looking for an easy to use free capture application that will give you perfect results try Screen Hunter.
i usually record PC games using fraps and it got me thinking to how do people record console footage and then put it on the computer.The problem is i dont know the first thing about gaming capture cards and how they work, i do know however that some of them are PCI cards.
1. if a console is connected to a T.V how is the footage captured from the console to a PC?
2. Does using capture cards also provide audio or do you need certain cables (3.5 jacks, hdmis, etc)
I've got a Dell laptop that has to be returned for a refund and I was wondering how to transfer my bookmarks over to a thumbdrive? I want to have them ready so I can put them on my new laptop when I decide what I'm getting.
I am curious, Mac's have a feature I saw someone at work use where you can capture a screen shot by dragging out a square (I think they used Cmd+Shift+4 or something) and saving the image inside the square as a capture - Does Windows 7 have anything like that? Or is there an app I can download to allow me to do that?
Looking for suggestions. Would be great if the program was FREE !I'm using a Diamond VC 600. The included program seems very rough.although quite a few formats are available. The end product is less than I expected
I upgraded from XP to 7 about a year or so ago, and just noticed that the few home DV videos I captured since then were in AVI format, and about 12 GB each, compared to the former ones on XP which were WMV and not quite 1GB each. I have tried in vain to set the automatic capture on Windows Movie Maker to WMV as default, but it doesn't seem to allow it. These AVI files are just too big for my storage space over time.
