I was wondering if anyone here could help me get my capture card working correctly. I have my 360 plugged into my tv directly through the normal AV chord. Then I have an S-Video cable connecting my TV to my capture card, but I'm still not getting reception in the form of Halo 2. Instead I'm getting very scratchy television programming. Does anyone have any ideas?

RIP Halo 2.

The issue lies somewhere with the TV-out function of your TV. It should be outputting the source it's displaying, but I don't know the details. You'll have to consult the user manual of your TV.

Record your videos and put them on your computer, not your banana.

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Here's how I have mine setup, maybe it will help or give you and idea.

I have a Dazzle with a USB connector. Obviously that connects to my computer. The other end of the Dazzle connects to a video distribution amplifier. You can pick one up at your local Radioshack. It's basically a box that has 1 line of plugins for video-in and then 4 sets of plugins for video-out. Plug the Dazzle into a video-out. Plug the 360 to the video-in, and plug another double-male cord from the amplifier to your television. Kinda a lot of wires, but if you have a setup like mine here, it shouldn't be too much of an issue. That way you can play on your television while it records on your computer.

Yeah, thanks, I guess I just don't have enough ports to work with right now. How much does that Amp thing your talking about cost(ish)?
