Capturing from Component Cables (HD)?

MacInnes · 09-10-2006, 12:20 PM

A few months ago I got an HDTV and I was loving it, but it created some problems with capturing that I simply ignored. I stopped capturing for a long time, months and months, because I'd rather play in HD than capture. Lately, however, I got my capturing addiction back and I've been playing without HD. I'd like to be able to do both, hopefully you guys can help.

I have the OG Xbox and (I think) I have to run component cables to the TV to get an HD signal. The capture card I use is by ADS technologies and has RCA or S-Video inputs with a USB output to my computer. I'm currently using a splitter for the RCA's to share the signal.

Is there any way to convert the Component signal into either RCA or S-Video? If I have to get a new capcard to fix this I'll probably just skip it, I was just hoping there might be like a $10 converter I could find somewhere...

Someone on these forums has a capture device that is able to cap in component video.. I'll try to find the thread where he did a quality test and post it here.

He's got an adapter.. he's just trying to capture w/ HD quality by using component cables (red,green,blue). Turns out the guy with the kickass quality test (transimitable) didn't even use component cables.. for some reason he got near HD quality w/ his composite cables (yellow). If you're able to snag a DVD recorder that doesn't have delay then that would be golden to cap in HD. I've been meaning to try to split off component cables so I could record onto DVD HD and play in HD.. but I've been to lazy to attempt.

actually I am using the component cables to capture but its not "true" HD quality because a capture card for true HD is a shit load of money. With my capture card I have my component cables going into the cap card and then RCA cables to my tv so I don't get to play in HD either. As for a spliter to split the component cables, I looked around for something but never found anything. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to convert component to RCA or s-video because they are completely different. Hope this helps and good luck!

That's what I figured. Looks like I'll have to go sell some crack and get a better capture card. Thanks for the help

For HD capturing, ask Transmitable
