Re: Online copies of games are not owned

I am as big an opponent of online DRM as anyone - I only buy my digital games from GOG - but The Crew is a rather poor example, almost clickbait-grade in my opinion. Let's see. An online-only game, with no single-player content at all (per my understanding), which was from the day of its release …

for me the H-shift sometimes has a slightly different effect, you need to keep in mind that the extron is doing the shift in the signal, while VCS is doing it after the capture so there may be phase differences depending on where the active part of the signal moves, so moving in VCS doesn't change …

you can try playing around with the H-shift on the extron and play with the phase in VCS until you get it just right changing the width will always result in a soft image at one part as the sampling itself is off.

800 width is normal for 640x480, you gotta take into account that the "width" in that case is the sampling of the entire VGA signal line, not the output resolution of the PC itself, if it's missing pixels in the width that should be solvable just by horizontal position in VCS, if that doesn't help …

the buffered local monitor ouput is just that, it just hands through the signal from the input in case you also want to view it on a monitor, you need to use the RGB output via a BNC to VGA cable for capture yes.

I also had the issue in windows and even 800x600 (though to a lesser degree) but yeah, as I wrote in my original post I'm using a 160xi, though it doesn't really matter as long as it has ADSP though I have others too, 109xi should work just fine. the 200Rxi is an older series iirc but yeah I get why …

the adsp makes it so the datapath card locks onto the signal correctly, while it's possible to shift the image on some of the extron interfaces that's not really necessary, you can just position it correctly in VCS using the interface.

Checked other messages in this thread again, and seems like I am not the only one: I don't remember if I ever posted my solution in here but it's rather straightforward. I just use an Extron RGB interface with "ADSP" in the capture chain, that fixes the sync issue. https://www.extron.com/article/ …

Anyway, perhaps that's part of my problem. I'll try to double check next time before opening a thread. I don't think you did anything wrong here at all, there's always just those few that can't restrain themselves and try to ruin it for everyone else, which just goes on to drive home the point of …

you know you can put multiple quotes in a single reply right? stop hoarding all the posts for yourself :p The stuff I got rid of I just dumped in the electronics container at the nearest recycling plant, selling wasn't on my mind (too much hassle). Maybe someone else picked up a few items, I don't …

In some way or another, we're as vintage or obsolete as the systems in our hobby. ;) So maybe, as the years go by, our level of "compatibility" to the outside world is affected, too? 🤷‍♂️ As an observer, it seems to me as if people/users had been changed in personality over the last ~17 years. Back …
