Video capture

Shep · 22 Feb 2006 at 17:16

I bought a Sony DV Camcorder today (i.Link) with the intention of making a video of some FS2004 Scenery I made using the VIVO output from my X850 Pro AGP card.

I managed to get the Camcorder set up and it activates WMM and records from the desk fine but I can't find a way to receive the FlightSim video. The camera has A/V in out and DV in out and i.link but as it's the first CC I owned I really don't have a clue what to do.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just use the DV tape record onto them then use Windows Movie Maker to pull the footage off?

Thanks for your reply and will give that a try but just hope the quality will be adequate filming from the Monitor screen?.

I did manage to get it working. It was a combination of the ATI Monitor/TV screens settings and of course, setting the camera up correctly to record from VCR mode. The quality is a little below what I was hoping for but I'm now trying a link from my X850 card to a TV Capture Card installed in a second PC (via S-Video connection or Composite - not sure which yet) to see if that will improve quality.

use the firewire link it will give the best quality, far superior to composite
