I Have 2 Sony Digital Cam's they are High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), i guess canon too, you may have a problem Recording directly using this Capture card, i suggest using a external video capture with this card, you can find a tutorial of how to record from a Desktop video capture in Youtube.

I use a Canon Vixia camcorder with HDMI input and it works great.The input card uses PCI-E X1 so it should plug into any open PCI slot, even the X4 X 8 and X16 types. The computer does not recognize the card upon first install, download the software/driver combo from AVermedia and it will work fine.

I have an HP w/Movie maker, but I thought you simply stuck the memory sticks into the laptop to download? I figured it would come with software like all my Canon cameras have and then you could burn to DVD. Did your fs200 not include this? Perhaps I'm not reading the description correctly.If it is truly that complicated (I also don't know what an 'extension' is) I may skip this one. Still, what about the picture quality? Is there a better alternative in the general price range? ($300 or so?).

I think it depends on what your DVD has as an input vs. what the output from the computer is. Sorry I'm not more help, but without looking at it, it's tough to gauge. Sometimes even when they connect up, the device to which you input won't record.

You need to capture video from the camera to computer. There is a lot of devices to do that, for example USB CAPTURE VIDEO.

Question 1, most likely! If your PC has an extra PCI slot then it shouldn't have an issue. As for capturing your camera I'm not 100%positive it will but you can pretty much input anything into this that uses HDMI and it will see it. So I'm pretty sure it will work! just I haven't personally tried it yet. I have though captured another computers screen using this on my PC! Just be sure to get the latest drivers and you should be fine! Another thing too though it won't be a piece of came to capture, because this is made to capture ongoing video like games it won't know when you start your video, so you would have to start the video on the camera then hit record on the device and then you have your file, if your editing you can always trim the video so I guess it's not that big of deal. Good luck!

It does have some kind of limited video capture.... no way it's any form of Hi-Def. Probabaly VGA? You have to remember this camera is from 2004.... A used Mini DV Tape camcorder would probably be better for video work. Or the Nikon D90 which does 720p.

Yes, you'll be able to take your gameplay and save it to your computer. What you need to know has to do with your tv instead of the actual product. Because it requires that you have an input and output. What I mean is that you need more than one set of those white, yellow, and red cable plug-ins on your tv, because you'll need to use one set for whatever console you'll be using, and the other to connect the dazzle to your tv. Be aware that this product won't come with two-way input cables (Which you'll need), so you'll have to buy something extra. Make sure it's NOT HDMI cables you're buying. They don't work with this product. Also be sure the cables are long enough so that the dazzle will reach your computer. If your tv doesn't have multiple inputs/outputs, an alternate solution is using an S-video cable instead of input cables. I've heard mixed results for the quality, so I haven't tried that yet. My last piece of advice is to try Windows Movie Maker for recording instead of the editting program that comes with the product. It's a lot easier to use, though you may have to make some adjustments on Movie Maker depending on the settings. It takes time to figure out either way. Good luck!

Hello Justin, This device has both inputs and outputs in the back of the unit (component, RCA audio (left and right), and digital audio) in high definition and it has composite and audio inputs on the front for standard definition. The outputs are the pass-thrus and the USB port is the main output that goes to your computer. It does not have HDMI. The video/audio pass-thru outputs are really not needed for recording but they come in handy for connecting a TV so you can see what you are recording, even though the software on your computer can also show you what you are recording (such as MythTV in Linux or the software that came with the installation disk for Windows). If I understand your question correctly, there is no need to record using the pass-thru ( to record using the pass-thru would involve hooking another recording device) because the USB cable from the back of the device directs your recording to your computer. By the time the signal reaches the pass-thru outputs, it has already been recorded and sent to your computer via the USB cable. Note that the component input on the front of the device is not high definition and is only in 4x3 aspect. I use Linux and don't use MythTV for playback but I use the cat command in a terminal window to launch a linux video player (similar to Window's Media Player). All the best, Roy

Already answered...but add my two cents. It works 'almost' like a VCR. Will only do one thing at a time. The biggest difference is it will still record when in pause mode and assigns a 'name', albeit confusing to each recording. The USB port is very sensitive...doesn't fit tightly. It will often get 'no USB device found'. The plus is both outputs work together AVI and HDMI.

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

It will work as a transport for the video/audio signals, yes. You will need some type of video editing program with which to capture the stream of data coming from your camera through this device. Windows Movie Maker, for instance. The best way (quality) to pull video from your camera is using its IEEE-1394 port (FireWire), but the HP Envy doesn't have that port. Edit - this worked fine for me. You can always return if there are issues.

I have only used this device to capture video from VHS tapes and import it into Pinnacle Studio for editing. Do a Google search and you will find the instruction manual online available for download and study. That might tell you what you want to know.

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

DSLR cameras and GoPros can be problematic with any video capture device or switcher due to sometimes non-standard HDMI outputs. With "camcorders", meaning the average consumer/prosumer Sony, Panasonic, Canon units, virtually all should put out a clean HDMI signal. Please note that *most* camcorders will output 1080i over HDMI, even if the camcorder is set to record 1080p24 or 30. This is done for compatibility with more displays. This means the ATEM would need to be set to 1080i mode in order to accept the camera input.

Video playback is a bit hit and miss. Some play, some freeze the machine. I am trying to get the spec for compatible formats for .avi and .mp4 from Coby and waiting for a reply.The standard mini-USB plug cable allows you to manage and transfer files between the frame and a computer. The cards in the DP-102 will show as external drives on the PC.

This is not a Capture Card. It's a simple Video Card to play games or graphic design with it. It's shoud work, on Windows XP work fine. Since it's older model must have driver compatible with early O.S. Regards

Can I modify the question a bit? Does the HDMI output a signal when the camera is NOT recording? In other words, can it function as a "studio camera"?
