Question / Help Problem with video component - Gamecap Generic Device

[negozin]

Hi, I have this capture device, called gamecap:
http://dx.com/p/gamecap-professional-re ... ack-190164

It doesn't seem to be from roxio, so the explanation about compatible cards doesn't apply to it.
Anyway,
OBS is working fine with this device using only av cable...
But now I connected the component cable and can't see the source.
The only thing that appears to me, is a purple screen.

when I press on open crossbar, 'video composite in' was already selected as input.
so I changed to: video yryby in the source appeared entralaced but totally wasted to play...

Is there something else that I could do to get this source

There actually doesn't seem to be a problem in the log file. I don't know what's going on here, so I may just have to buy one at some point and see if I can't replicate the problem myself or something.

nice one jim.
this device really impressed me, when it was recognized by OBS.

I was dissapointed at the first time, due to the software that comes with it.
its called: vivastation .
This game cap software is a real bomb.
It makes the device to release a constant sound. So I am not considering using it and record my monitor.

I really want to try all solutions with OBS.

Instead of you buying the device, I could share my screen and give you the control of my mouse with teamviewer.
What do you think?
You could try to solve with your ninja skills

Hi Jim,
I did one thing that allowed me to use the video component.
I connected the av and them disconnected and connected the component.
the ps3 is still configured to play with 480i
when I try to change it to 720p or 1020i, the OBS gives me a blue screen
the game has a much better quality running with component cable, even with 480i...
but now I must understand why it doesn't support my ps3 with 720p at least.
here is the log right after I try to exchange the ps3 from 480 to 720.

[Muf]

The specs on DX.com don't actually mention what maximum resolution the device supports. The system requirements list a requirement for a display that "Supports 720p", but I don't think that means the device itself supports 720p. 480i or 480p might just be the maximum capture resolution supported. Considering the no-name brand, the fact it's sold by DealExtreme, and the complete lack of detailed specifications, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that thing simply doesn't support HD resolutions.

 

[negozin]

yep muf, I totally agree with you.The interesting thing is:
On the tv I can see the image with 720 or 1020i
But as streaming source on the computer, it never recognize these qualities.

anyway, I think this is the end of my quest.
I really apreciate your efforts.
I need to buy a better game capture device.

I bought this one, just for testing purposes.
At least it allows me to play with component cable, even in 480i, it's much better than the image with AV.
It's only a bit distorced. but it's fine form my purposes.

Do we have here a benchmark of best game cards to buy?
I think the live game portable from avermedia is the real bomb of the moment.
I can't see a better cost/benefit than this one.

 

[dodgepong]

The Live Gamer Portable is not compatible with OBS yet afaik.

Does it have to be a USB device? Can it be PCIe?

 

[negozin]

I prefer usb...
I don't like to open my computer...
and lately, I had to open my computer several times to clean it...
there is a lot of dust here at my house, I think mine cooler is on it's last days.
I prefer everything plug and play.

what is the best usb game capture device on the market right now?
and the best in cost/benefit also...
because I won't expend so much with this type of device, considering we will be able to recordo videos from ps4.
15 min video, is enough for me, most times.

 

[Krazy]

If you have the ability to do an internal capture card, you should absolutely do it. USB capture devices aren't even remotely in the same league.

 

[dodgepong]

If you have an Intel or Renesas USB 3.0 port, then the best thing to get is the XCAPTURE-1. If not, then you're stuck with USB 2.0 devices, of which I can't really strongly recommend anything. The HD PVR seems alright, except it isn't supported by OBS yet so you have to Monitor Capture the Hauppauge output screen.

 

[negozin]

for sure I am not at the same league as you.
I was thinking to get some revenue with videos...
but I need to start with a low profile.
I am not sure if I am suitable to survive on thiis market.
still doing my benchamarking and researches.

 

[negozin]

argh,
it's happening...
the gamecap just stopped.
and I dunno how?
it just isn't recognizing anymore.
it seems the problem is related to the usb, I guess.

Because, every option that I choose on OBS takes minutes to response....
When I deatach the usb, it answers immediately.

Right now if I restart the program or create another source, it doesn't recognize the gamecap device.
If I press preview stream, it appears only one red screen.

What could I do to reset my game capture device?
I already re-installed obs, the gamecap driver, restarted the computer...
nothing works.

[Advtech]

I have the same issues. Except I got mine from amazon. I am using the latest version of OBS.
