MarkJohnson Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) Hello all, sorry if this has been answered before, but couldn't find what I needed with search. also sorry for repost. I placed it in MCE area figuring more ppl would have experience with this problem in there, but it seems to have lower traffic in there.I just bought a new X1900XTX and it has video capture (aVIVO). so I thought I'd hook it up to my other computer and capture my game, using MS Movie Maker 2, to post gaming video on our guild website.I used the S-Video plugs on both video cards (the multi-plug ones that came with the video cards). used S-Video IN on the X1900XTX to the s-video OUT on the 7800gtx.I then fired up movie maker and selected to capture video using s-video and all I got was a flickering black screen?I looked on my spare computer and couldn't find an s-video device listed anywhere or a way to turn it on (eVGA 7800GTX)I just assumed the s-video port would come on at the same time as the DVI port and just mirror the images from the DVI port to the s-video port. (it's what happens on my main rig with dual DVI monitors until I tell it to use both seperately)any help would be greatly appreciated.-=Mark=- Edited December 19, 2006 by MarkJohnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 The s-video out should be configured for a second monitor from nvidia control panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJohnson Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 The s-video out should be configured for a second monitor from nvidia control panel.S-Video doesn't show up in nView at all? I even tried my other video cards and have the same problem on them all. is there a special driver I need like the WDM I need for the video-in to work?

Naki Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I'm not sure what you are trying to do is possible.Try using Fraps or a similar program instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJohnson Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 (edited) I'm not sure why it would be impossible? unless there is something a TV does to activate a signal. seems there would be a simple hardware hack or a pass-through device to accomplish it. maybe the RCA jacks would work? they only need a single cord and wouldn't be able to trigger anything to turn it off/on.thanks for the FRAPS program tip. looks like it might do the trick.
