Capturing Music Videos

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, I decided to toy around with capturing music videos for the jukebox. I've got a Winfast DTV 2000 TV card and also a an ATI Radeon HD 4670.

 

Now what I've been doing is Digital TV by connecting the outdoor aerial into the WinFast card and to be honest it works fantastically. Only issue is that the Winfast PVR 2 software only captures in Mpeg format and I want it Divx =/ So first questions. So is there something out there thats better and supports divx?

 

Second question is I have cable Foxtel and wanted to start grabbing Music Max cuts but I can't seem to get a display on my PC to capture. Is anyone out there doing this and if so how?

 

cheers,

Brad

I use a Divco tv/capture card. Just run audio to line in, video to video in on card.

 

Open up your player and select aux in from the channel selector. You should see and hear the preview from the source you are using. Press record. It should be that simple:) Mine only seems to capture in mpeg.

the card should have a video in then you should be able to select an av chanel, in the setup option or somewhere ?

 

if not does your fox box output RF ?

 

you could look at virtual dub, it might do what you want

Okay Foxtel has RF out which is what I was using. I know it works as I ran a cable from it to our TV in the bedroom and it works fine. The problem appears to be the card OR the software as I have no option to select anything except for the channels it finds. Thats Digital and HD free to air.

 

Downloading the latest version of Win PVR2 to see if there are more options.

 

Cheers,

Brad

i assume your using windows. the software usually supplied with the capture cards will have a option to record from what ever source you want and make a quick n dirty copy of it in avi format

 

once in avi you can change it to what ever you like with vlc media player or ffmpeg

Are you feeding the (analogue) RF out from the Foxtel box into your PC tuner card?

 

If so, is this PC tuner card digital TV only or analogue as well?

 

If it's digital only, then it can't receive the analogue Foxtel signal !

All I get from terrestrial antennae is Digital and HD.

 

Wingtip yes I was going to try Svideo but the foxtel box doesn't have it so I'd have to do it via the TV and also my PC is too far away =/ LOL

 

It IS getting all to hard

 

Cheers,

Brad
