Hi there - anyone know an easy way via usb/wireless to capture and record my phone screen via OBS cheers

Hi. I have got a cheap USB Capture card that I am planning on capturing videos and stills from retro computers, ZX Spectrum, NES, SNES, SMD through OSSC (1080p). What software can I use to capture the stills and videos on. I mean not streaming, just capturing them and saving on my computer? Hopefully free, nothing fancy. Should I use different program for capturing stills and recording videos? Thanks! -
Hey guys, I’m planning on building myself a new rig that will be used for concert / theater touring (when everything will open up again). The rig will on the road mainly be used for running Resolume which is a video playback / vj-ing software and I also will doe some live light video modification with it. I want the rig to be as versatile as possible so when I’m building a good machine for this I might as well realy want to use it to do pre-programming for lighting on it using Capture 2021. This is a software program used for drawing a concert layout and pre programming the lighting etc. (https://resolume.com/ - https://www.capture.se/) So after this info let me quickly answer the main questions 1. Budget & Location Budget around €3000,- and I’m located in the Netherlands 2. Aim The aim of this rig is as described above 3. Monitors What I will hookup to the rig are a few different things For programming one 50’’ 4K tv For drawing one ultrawide monitor (not sure which one recommendations are welcome) For live video playback multiple different projectors whatever the project requires. I want to be able to hookup around 5 orso at once monitor for using the software not included. I was thinking about the Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2 but anything else is also welcome this is just the only brand I know that makes them… 4. Peripherals I do need all new peripherals but my budget (around €3000) is without them 5. Why are you upgrading? I used to run live shows on an Green hippo hippotizer HD and well it still runs winXp so I guess that’s why haha. For drawing I currently use an gaming laptop (msi gs63vr 6rf) but that one also is slowly dying now and will only be used for light gaming and office use once this build is completed 6. Please, No Dream Builds I hope you guys think it’s not an dream build but if it turns out to be I guess then the budget just comes up. I know there is a GPU shortage etc. I’d like to just spec it together on MSRP and just wait till parts come available etc. etc. plus it’s not that there are any live shows to work right now. (Ohyeah the machine must fit in a 4U rack enclosure. But that’s just a regular pc case with mounting ears on them so it will be fine (was thinking about this one for easy monitoring when in use without an actual monitor but not sure if it’s any good https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32922917392.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.1e342e0eyc02uS)) Cheerst guys, I hope some of you have got good sugestions on this link is a list that I made last week not sure if it’s any good tho https://tweakers.net/gallery/800593/wenslijst/ -
Just asking to confirm. I have a laptop with an extended monitor that I have set as the primary monitor. I was thinking, am I able to plug the hdmi capture card at my laptop and the monitor connects to the capture card so its like Laptop > Capture Card HDMI > Monitor I am thinking like this bcs if Im not mistaken capture card can reduce stress on rendering within the GPU or CPU either one chosen to stream. Thanks to anyone who might help <3

I just installed the hd60 pro in my pc. When I try to use the game capture software it says no signal. I've disabled hdcp in my radeon settings, and my windows display is set to duplicate screens (my main monitor is 2560x1440 with 165hz refresh rate) I realize the card can only capture in 1080 60fps, but when i set my display to 1080 i still get no signal. Updated drivers for radeon settings and restarted a few times after enabling/disabling the capture card. Can someone please help, i just want to record some games :( Aorus x570 elite wifi Ryzen 7 3700x XFX rx570 8gb

Does anyone know any capture methods for 2ds/3ds?

I know its out dated but im not here to be judged. I am desperately looking for a capture card or passthrough that I can plug my Xbox 360 into, pass the gameplay though to a tv, but also plug a USB into my laptop and have a video and audio source in OBS for streaming. Budget is less than $50 USD. I have a walmart $10 one at the moment but it doesnt capture audio, just loud static and ringing in OBS from it, so ive been streaming the game audio through my mic out of the tv speakers which is trashy to say the least.

So last week i got a magewell pro capture hdmi 4k plus LT, because i like recording my games and failures while playing them. Yes there are cheaper options, but i don't or rarely upload the video's to youtube and want 5.1 audio. No other solution can do this AFAIK, not at 4k anyway. So having stopped that discussion here's the problem. I prefer to record with virtualdub cuz it's simple. But for some reason while even viewing the input from my PC, it can't maintain 60fps. There's an indicator in the bottom right corner showing the framerate its running at and it's all over the place. Going from low 30s up to the high 50's and on rare occasion hitting 60 for a second before dropping down again. I've been trying things and searching google for days without finding a solution. There's not a lot of info to be found on it. Here's the kicker though, i also connected my ps4 pro to it. After changing a few settings it hit 60fps, and stayed there. Permanently. I recorded some short video's and it just kept sitting at 60. Until i switched back to my pc. Then it did the above once again. All the same settings, just switched cables. Eventually i gave up and switched to OBS. But as mentioned i want 5.1 audio capture. Which OBS does do but i couldn't get out of the card. Days of messing around with it i got it to work as i want and yesterday was able to capture a video just fine from my PC. stable 60 fps, all good. But OBS is somewhat limited with the encoding codec options. Yes i know about the advanced stuff, it's what i'm using now but that is all ffd and i prefer to using more lossless codecs like magicyuv. Yes that is in ffd now to but its a different implementation not done by the creator of the original magicyuv. Another problem with VD is the audio, which i haven't really been trying to solve cuz of the video problems but if you know how to, saves me the time to figure it out. The audio either slowly goes further and further out of sync or it seems to be playing at a higher speed. I'm thinking its an issue with the sampling rate but i'm not sure. So the question is then, is there anyone who's had these kinds of problems with VD and knows how to solve them? Is there some settings i'm missing? Would appreciate the help

Hello everyone, I am a new user. I have a Canon GL2 NTSC camcorder. I want to transfer the MiniDV tapes I recorded to my computer. I have a cable uses usb mini b to take a signal out the camera and convert it to usb. Is it possible to capture the signal? If so, does anyone have any drivers for the camera?

Don't know why this won't work. Trying to capture from a microsoft wireless display adapter that is mirroring my phone screen. It works fine when using a normal HDMI source over a cable into the capture card but the wireless adapter doesnt seem to be outputting anything, or the capture card can't recognize it. am i getting shat on by HDCP ?

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions here. I have a 21:9 3440x1440 LG Ultrawide, and when I record 1080p video and live stream, I use XSplit to capture the upper left corner in a perfect 1920x1080 area where I manually dock my applications in there that I want visible during recording. As shown in the attached image. The real estate outside that region is my personal space whilst streaming, it's really nice to have that. Due to the heavy nature of what I do, some application operations pull the CPU so tightly (4790K @ 4.6) that it leaves Xsplit gasping for air, and I drop thousands of frames at a time whilst live streaming. So I bought a Elgato HD60 Pro capture card, stuck it into a secondary PC, hooked up the HDMI, mirrored the main monitor with the HDMI output and boosh I've got an unsupported 3440x1440 signal going into my capture PC. My plan was to then use Xsplit on the capture PC to crop the 3440x1440 signal to the 1080p region, and broadcast that, but I guess due to the shift in resolution on a received signal, the image degrades to the point that it's totally unusable. So I'm just wondering, does anyone have any advice (if its even possible) to successfully use a 21:9 panel with a secondary capture PC without resorting to nerfing my 3440x1440 panel to 1920x1080? I cannot find a single thread anywhere discussing this issue, which is surprising given the increase in popularity of 21:9! Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong Thread but I am new here. I have been looking for a capture card for the purpos of recording an analog video feed from an endoscopy camera for the past year, but I have not found anything useful. The resolution is about 480p - so nothing too crazy. The problem is that I need a card that supports saving the footage to the disk and displaying it on the screen - but in real time. There can not be any delay between the camera and the video feed on the display because it's impossible steer the camera with a noticeable delay. Does any capture card < 200$ support this or is this only possible with crazy 5k$ professional cards? I guess most people wouldn't care about a delay because I have never found anything about it on the internet and for capturing games and video streams it does not matter. thank you! -
Hello guys lately i am recording some Replays of League of Legends, but i realised that the recorded video has less details and colours are brighter and not very good. When you put the recorded video and exatcly same moment from the replay side by side there is clearly huge difference, can someone explain to me why it is like that? Ingame: Recorded video:

Does anyone know of any good software that will allow for capturing video/screenshots of multiple displays (one system with multiple monitors), and also streaming/broadcasting said screenshots/video on to a LAN? Software can't require internet connection on the installed machines, as it will be used on a closed network. I really don't need it to do anything overly fancy. Just screenshots once per second of all monitors on the system, and stream/broadcast those screenshots to other systems. I don't require any editing or other injection into the output. I would like to be able to select which source monitor to display on the destination systems. I haven't really had a need for this myself, so I am rather unfamiliar with most of the different streaming/broadcasting software suites. I have learned that sometimes the best software isn't the one with the fanciest website, so I am hoping someone out there knows of a good product. I prefer a paid solution, as this is for work, and they want support options. Thanks for any assistance.

edit: Problem solved, see this post below Big fan of the channel so figured I'd try to ask this here. I'm looking for ANY cost effective way to record 4K60 HDR gameplay from 1 PC, to another PC. Can be peripherals, networking, a ton of Raspberrys.. anything... don't care so long as the solution works and doesn't cost an arm and a leg like every current device out there now. CONTEXT: I play this game called Star Citizen, in 4K60 (only gets 60fps in Star Marine though). It has great fidelity but my PC can't handle recording it in 4K60 while playing it. My rig is https://pcpartpicker.com/user/DavidAELevy/saved/GVxp99 i7-6700K Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 EATX G.Skill Trident Z 64GB (4 x 16GB) DDR4-3400 Memory two Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti's Gaming G1s Samsung SM951 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (wish I didn't buy these, they're bloody OEM, no support and don't work with Samsung software) BenQ 27-Inch IPS UHD LED Monitor BL2711U (4K60 4:4:4 10bit 100% sRGB & Rec. 709, things look really nice on this monitor!) I have a 2nd PC that's an i5-6600k with a 980ti and 32GBs that I can use for recording or streaming. I can output to it via this 4K60 splitter 1x2 ~$40 USD I'm building my own 45U server rack and will eventually centralize all my PCs into 4U cases (still trying to figure hvac cooling issue, need to get a specialist) and have a Quanta LB6M to 10GB connectivity PC to PC and to a raid array eventually. So I'll be able to have these two PCs stacked directly on top of each other. if only I could just turn both these PCs into one... I was hoping there was a way to make this happen, recording 4K60, with an additional $500-ish USD budget or under? 4K60 is gorgeous on my screen and I'd love to share it with friends, but I can't justify dishing out $1000+ USD just for the privilege of owning such a capture device. Elgato hinted at having a 4K60 option 1st quarter of this year but I haven't seen anything more about it since then, It's a frustratingly situation. OPTIONS: Here's 4K60 capture options I've looked at (overpriced for me): AJA - Kona 4 ~$2000 USD Atomos - Shogun Inferno ~$1500 USD Avermedia - CE511-HN ~$1200 USD Blackmagic - DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G ~$1420 USD (not sure if this would work) Datapath - VisionSC-DP2 ~$2000 USD (not sure if would work) Magewell - Pro Capture HDMI 4K Plus ~$900 USD (not sure if claims are legit for 4K60 4:4:4 capture) And that's about it AFAIK. Possible temporary solution? I thought maybe a FPS reducer to go from the 4K60 splitter to 4K30 output would work, I could then use any number of assorted crappy capture cards to record the 4K30 feed... it's a compromise that could work... but I haven't found such a device yet. How it reduces the FPS is probably also important. I'd imagine there is different ways of doing it that affect quality? Instead of just removing every other frame. Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Thanks for any help, if there's a way, sure some body here would know. Thanks! -
So I want to get a PS4 for all the exclusive games and especially for Red Dead Redemption 2 but the problem is that I don't have a TV anymore and I'm not planning to get one anytime soon. But I have 3 nice high definition high framerate PC monitors, so I would like to just plug the PS4 into one of those. Problem is that they are G-Sync-only panels so they only have one DisplayPort adapter and nothing more. I still want to see the PS4's video on my monitors so I'm searching for a good capture card. The problem there is that I didn't find anything online that would fit my needs, the only things I could find are capture cards to record the gameplay but I don't actually want to record the gameplay, I just want a clear, latency-free fullscreen video stream of the console. Is there a way to just do this somehow and if so, what kind of hardware do I need? Or does every capture card have this option? I honestly have no idea and I hope you guys can help me out a little bit.

Hey peeps. So I got quite a few things I need help with. My fiancé and I are about to start a gaming YouTube channel, but both of us have difficulty learning several things all at once by Googling dozens of websites that all only partially answer the question, and also have hard times wording things, hence why this is going to be rather awkward. Watched this, and I didn't get anything out of it. Hoping someone can walk me step-by-step in layman's terms. I have a very poor attention span due to several disorders, so I can't just watch an hour-long video answering these all. I know this seems silly, and I know I could probably get these all answered with Googling, but for reasons I can't really explain, it would be a lot easier for my brain if I had control over what I was told to do. Right now, I have a Blue Yeti Pro, and a Razer Ripsaw capture card that I have no clue how to use yet. 1.) What exactly does XLR as opposed to just using USB? (Why is the quality better?) 2.) How do I use the XLR option on my microphone? I get that I have to buy an audio interface, but that's about all I got out of that video. 3.) What are some good audio interfaces for various budget ranges? 4.) How do I record said audio? 5.) Do I have to use two separate programs/hardware devices to record gameplay and audio, or can I use one thing that does both? Would it be easier for me, in the end, to record them separately or together? 6.) If they do have to be recorded separately, how do I combine both after editing to upload to YouTube? 7.) If any of you have compared several audio and/or video recording softwares personally, can I please get a pro/con list or opinions of them? 8) Is an audio interface the same as a mixer? If not, what is a mixer? 9.) What are some good mixers for various budget ranges? 10.) How do I connect capture card, microphone, audio interface, mixer, etc., all together, then to my PC and capture it all, if it's not obvious? 11.) After all that, how do I add facecam into the mix? Is it just a matter of bringing OBS into the pile and recording my camera from there? Thank you so kindly in advance for helping me with my ridiculous levels of ignorance.

Greetings, everyone! I will soon get a capture card so I can record some PS1 games for the nostalgia. These will be played on my PS3 and I'd like to know which capture card between the HD60 and the HD60 Pro would be best for this. I read that you usually need a splitter for it to work, is this true? How should I go about the process? What are the differences between these two capture cards apart from one being PCIe? Thank you in advance, - Nervly Also, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Source - Neowin, Elgato At a retail price of 400.00, I'm not sure how many streamers are gonna jump to it right away. HDR is gonna kill it imho. High refresh 1080p capture is solid tho for a streaming box.

I'm planning on buying a Wii U so I can play the backlog off Wii and Wii U games then I haven't had the chance when I was younger (also GameCube). I would also like the option to take screenshots from inside the games while I'm playing. I know that there's some weird way through sharing it through some social media sites. But that's really slow, and you have to leave the game for every screenshot you wan't to take. I found a device on amazon that looks to have the functionality that I'm interested in, but I wanted to ask here first. Maybe you guys know a better/cheaper way. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076ZWVSLW/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_r4-sDbVFHS0PW What I need it to be able to do: +Possibility to take a screenshot +And a button to trigger this from couch distance +As cheap as possible -I'm not interested in capturing video and taking screenshots afterwards on my PC (I could do the same thing from youtube let's plays, but I don't wan't to waste my time with that).

Got an odd situation. I installed an Elgato HD60Pro today and ever since when i turn my PC on none of my monitors will receive signal as far as i can tell. I do not have an HDMI running in or out of the HD60Pro PC before installation = all three monitors work fine After installation = monitors remain in sleep mode Power off PC, remove Elgato, turn on = all three work fine Power on PC, Install Elgato while on (bad idea i assume) = Elgato works just fine and monitors remain on. Able to select source in OBS I have done about an hours worth of searching for a solution and have found nothing. So any advice would be appreciated.

I'm using an Elgato HD60 Pro capture card in OBS on a secondary streaming computer. The image is fine except for some weird artifacts. Straight lines and elements with lots of complex color like a photo are fine, and decently small text like that of the body of a webpage looks fine too. However, larger, round objects on screen, like larger text such as around the "P" in the forum logo at the top of the screen, or round icons on the desktop have a jagged edge. Actually it's also on angled edges like the 45 degree angle of the edge of a document (the part that looks like the paper of the document is folded over), so what I would describe this as is a lack of anti-aliasing in a game. I can provide a picture but I'd have to grab a screenshot from the other computer and I figured that that explanation would be enough, it's literally just like a lack of anti-aliasing or similar to stretching a smaller sized desktop icon to be full-sized. Again this doesn't seem to happen on smaller items like small text, and I can clearly see a single pixel when placed in photoshop on a blank canvas, so I guess it's a part of the compression or something but it seems very strange. I also played around with the sharpness and it wasn't that. Just wondering if anyone knew what I was talking about and if there was a way to lessen that, isn't really a big deal but would be nice if I could fix it

I think this is where this post belongs, sorry if it's not. So I have a desktop computer and a laptop. My desktop has an i5 processor, R9 380, and 8gb ram. My laptop has an i7, GTX 1060 and 16gb of ram. Currently, when I stream heavier titles on my desktop like Rainbow Six Siege or even Borderlands 2, the stream lags and I drop frames. The i5 CPU is at 100% usage, so it makes sense that I would drop frames. I can play the games on their own just fine on my desktop, but the encoding of the capture for the stream takes too much CPU processing power for my desktop. My question is: Is there any way to use my laptop as a "streaming PC" and capture the gameplay from the desktop PC without using a capture card? I'm short on money atm, so I can't really buy a capture card. I would also prefer to just use my desktop to game on because the laptop doesn't have much storage and is supposed to be used for school. -
Hey guys, is there a way to capture a HDMI stream with the onboard Intel HD graphics? I want to stream for fun and friends and when I use Streamlabs/OBS to capture my monitor/window it feels like there is a slight delay (like Vsync). But is it possible to output an HDMI cable to my onboard 8700k and treat it like a usable input? That should eliminate the delay effect, but I haven't seen anybody doing that. Helge
