I have a Roxio GameCap Pro HD. I want to record PC gameplays of minecarft with it I need to hdmi cables but I only have 1 and my monitor supports only vga and dvi. My graphics card is a Zotac Geforce 210 1 GB sddr3. I wonder if I can run one hdmi cable from the gpu to the roxio and capture normally without using the roxio as a "passtrough" and having another HDMI cable on the other end, besides running a VGA cable to my monitor from the gpu and have the same image on both outputs.

Probably not, while you can set your graphics card to output the same thing to 2 displays it doesn't often work very well for rendered content. I would run the HDMI to the GameCap then then an HDMI to DVI cable to the monitor.

 

DVI and HDMI are close enough signals you can connect with a passive adapter so the picture should look good, and you can get cables with HDMI on one end and DVI on the other.
