.ESTRACCI. · 11-14-2007, 06:53 PM

hey guys im having some trouble with my cap card and im wonderin if any of you guys can shed some light on the subject for me

first off i have a turtle beach usb video advantage, or an external cap card.

my problem is my tv is composite, and i believe i purchased the wrong splitter.

first can someone post a correct splitter for capturing video and sound from my tv to my comp, also if u can post a pic, link, or a place where i can buy the appropriate splitter.

then if possible can someone tell me an in depth step by step on how to hook it up.

thank you!

Well, from reading what you've got and what situation you're in, I can only give you some advice that works for me.

I would just say screw the tv and just play on your moniter. I have a 19 hp lcd monitor that I capture and just play straight off of. That way for you, you'll have sound and the whole nine yards in terms of quality.

I suggest you use v dub to capture and play on. If you think your monitor is just too small and you can't tolerate the size. Just give it a try first. I said the same thing with my 19 inch and I found it not a problem at all.

Are you trying to run the signal from your xbox to the tv and then to the cap card, or are you trying to split the signal and go to both tv and cap card at the same time?

Get three of the one female to two male splitters. Plug your xbox cables into the femal end of the splitters (the hole side) and then plug the other ends into your tv and your cap card.
