    A couple other ideas for capture:

    As a personal recommendation, the IO-DATA GV-USB2 is a fantastic capture device. The only problem with it is that is Japanese and all the documentation is in that language, but finding information in English on how to set it up is easy. Bottom line, it works. I use with OBS Studio all the time and it's the best composite and S-Video capture device I've used. I use with old consoles mostly, but the definition of the image is pretty impressive, particularly with S-Video and the framerate is perfect, no issues with stuttering or anything, you can get 60 FPS footage easily from it. It's a lot cheaper than going the HDMI route and it just does the job as it should.

If I have to, I can hook that Vista machine up and check.

    "DVC90 Device driver software installed successfully"... that was for the audio side of things. There are actually two "devices" that Windows tries to install. The audio device shows up as "Line (DVC90)" (see 5:40). It's the video part that's showing up with an error in the device manager. Sorry if this has already been mentioned or if it's old news, but hope that helped for what it's worth. Also, capturing full DV quality is actually a good way to capture the source as intended, in order to retain the proper frame rate and resolution. The reason the quality might appear bad is that the source is actually 480i (interlaced) at 29.97fps, and assuming the Dazzle is also capturing at 480i, it's possible that your editing package doesn't know how to properly deinterlace the video, which may result in half of the resolution being thrown out. Setting your timeline to 60fps (assuming you're output is progressive video) should solve that problem, or as a plan B, try converting the AVI file to mp4 using Handbrake and let it handle the deinterlacing. In VLC, try enabling deinterlacing using the Yadif 2x or Bob method, and see if the playback quality improves.

    For what it's worth, I have both a Diamond GC500, and a StarTech USB3HDCAP. The former is really good for retro gaming since it appears to natively support 240p captures, while the USB3HDCAP has analog breakouts to support Composite and S-Video captures; both of course having Windows 10 drivers. And at least for the GC500, I find you do have to install the DMCap program to be able to configure and tune the GC500 properly, but once that's settled, you technically don't ever have to open it again for OBS to pick it up as a capture device to work with.

I remember when I did that, this was around the time that Microsoft released Windows ME and the video itself shows that I recorded it on September 4th, 2000. It was a video of people performing dances underwater at an aquarium. I actually still have the camcorder today and a battery pack actually still holds a charge and I remember buying the camcorder and everything like in May of 2000. So incredible that a nickel cadmium battery pack still holds a charge today nearly 21 years after it was made. I think I remember using the Windows Movie Maker in Windows ME since I remember that Windows ME was the first OS to include Movie Maker.

    Hey man, I think I can weigh in here with some advice! I would spend a bit more time trying to get the Dazzle to record in OBS Studio because I know there are people who have done it and use it as their main "retro console capture" setup. Maybe search "dazzle obs Studio windows 10", if you haven't already.
    As for quality, try to get an S-Video cable for the Wii and use it into the Dazzle's S-Video input. I'm sure you know that composite video is notoriously bad, and S-Video is a huge step up and doesn't require that much more effort to switch to. S-Video cables for the Wii don't cost more than $10-$15 for a decent quality one, and should at least match the DVD quality.
    Idk exactly how much time you've spent researching this, but if any of what I said is helpful, then I'm so glad! You make great content and I can't wait until you finally get a less cumbersome Wii recording setup :p

    I remember that 2 years ago my dad gave me an old version of Pinnacle Studio, maybe it was 9 or 10, i forgot. It was pretty good, and it did it's job very well.

    Back when I used the dazzle I used to use a program called AMCAP to view the full resolution output of the device. If I'm remembering correctly I think it came with Pinnacle studio if you look in program files.
    I used to use this to play my original Xbox on my computer monitor when I didn't have a TV! XD

    You should try drivers from snappy driver installer and vlc or obs to capture the composite video device.

    It's a bit late but did you try extracting the Windows 7 32-bit drivers with Universal Extractor 2 (and then 7zip) and installing them manually in Windows 10 (just because the installer isn't compatible doesn't necessarily mean that the drivers aren't)? I'm kinda curious about the max quality you could get out of this device with modern software :)

    If you're interested in exploring the idea any further, there is something else you could try.
    I own an old Pinnacle AV/DV2 capture card, that is plugged into PCI. (I didn't forget to say Express, I mean PCI.)
    It came even with Pinnacle Studio 8 and a so-called BlueBox for AV inputs. I got it running on Windows 10 by installing the 32-bit edition.
    It's really not that those old drivers don't work on Windows 10, they don't work on 64-bit OSes.
    If you tinker around a bit, you should even be able to use it with OBS.
    I just wish there was a way to pass through the PCI device to a VM, because currently I need to dual-boot.
    Btw, which VM were you using in the video?

  • @JetRun15
    @JetRun15 3 роки тому +1

    Honestly, if you're having driver issues I would recommend using SDI or SnappyDriverInstaller. It does seem a bit sketchy, but especially on older hardware, finding drivers is pretty easy. I used it on my Dazzle DVC100 capture card and works fine on OBS.

    I just doubled checked the source and the current linux kernel still supports this device via the em28xx kernel module. You could probably create an Ubuntu VM and use it with USB passthrough. VLC can open a capture device and change aspect ratio and go fullscreen, so you could record the VM screen. You could even just use the linux version of OBS in the VM!

    I have a more modern PCI TV tuner card and it works perfectly fine under Windows 10, except I don't have a PCI slot anymore so I actually built a Core 2 Duo 775 rig to capture composite video. Also I recommend using VirtualDub over any of these OEM programs, it's much more advanced and when configured properly can actually give much better quality recordings.

    My method to record PS2 gameplay (some content from Konami that DO NOT RUN properly on emulation) is PS2 to RCA + RCA Splitter (to cast to my TV) + EasyCap + OBS, simple to use, set the cables up, open OBS, select EasyCap as Webcam and it's audio, change configs for Res, Channel selection and done.

  • @AudioTestsNReviews

    the DVC100 has a program that comes with it called DVD Capture, it's not a pinnacle product, and it works WAY Better. On top of that there are 3rd party open source apps that make the older capture cards look much more clean, check speedrunning website for more info on those

    Most MSI files, or EXE setup files will create a directory in your temporary files, have that open before you launch the setup and then let the error sit there while you monitor the folder. It should extract all the files to the temporary folder, and you can just grab the drivers that way.
    I've unfortunately had to do this multiple times with older technology and it's so far never not worked for me.

    I have an old Memorex Mem 48U scanner. It works but only in Windows 98 to XP. The manufacturer is not around any more and none of the other scanners that are the same thing have a working driver for Windows 7 or newer. It hurts so much to see things not work just because there are no more drivers. I still have it. I could setup a Window XP machine if I had to use it again. I can just take photos of the documents and photos but is just not as accurate as from a scanner. If it isn't flat that shows when photos are taken. A scanner usually can scan it flat rather than picking up every wrinkle. It does still pick some wrinkles up but it at least flattens it some while it is on the glass.

    VbVidCap and proper AV codecs (MJPEG for slow computers or H264 for more powerful ones) are the most efficient way to capture composite video with old USB2 or PCI video capture devices with Win XP.

    I was looking for a capture device so I could record our old VHS tapes. I tested many recording devices, and the best device is AVerMedia TV DVD EZMaker 7, it isn't that cheap as others, but it has a quite good picture quality, and it works without any problem with drivers or overheating, unlike the others.
    For capture and preview, I use VirtualDub, it's old looking software but has many options, and I can achieve a good result. But there are other apps, such as VLC, "Debut Video Capture Software", Bandicam, etc.

  • @AirknightTails
    @AirknightTails 3 роки тому

    Regarding the Drivers not working: The Driver that you are installing is possibly meant for a 32-bit System when Most Windows 10 Systems nowadays are 64-bit, So the Metadata and Sys Files are needed to "convert" a Driver to 64-bit and to work on Windows 10. I edited an STK1160 inf file to work with my old-school Capture Device (Honestech USB2S) and works somewhat on Windows 10. The caveat is that only the Included Breakout Composite/S-Video Cable works with said Driver and not the Coax Port on Windows 10 (It perfectly works fine on an VM of XP though).
    Also if I may make a suggestion: Have you considered using VirtualBox instead of VMWare for Virtual Machines?
