I'm trying to record 720p vieos using an El Gato HD capture card and I've set everything based on the guide on this site, but my videos still turn out looking pixelated. Are my settings wrong, is my computer not powerful enough, or is just the best I can get out of this capture card?
Here's a video as an example.
