Re: VGA Capture Thread

in Marvin \ Video
libx264 and x264.exe are virtually the same, if not completely. libx264 is just ffmpegs implementation of the H.264 codec, but I think both projects share a lot of source code. They both work from the command-line interface unless you have a GUI program that handles things for you (MeGUI, Handbrake, …

Re: VGA Capture Thread

I don't know if there are any simple "just record it" type boxes available that can capture old CGA/EGA/VGA stuff without also passing it through some kind of scaler. And then the issue becomes frame rate conversion / tearing handling. If you have a second more modern PC that you can stick a …

pretty sure it's a Avermedia Gamebroadcaster HD https://shop.avermedia-usa.com/products/game-broadcaster-hd?variant=996694345 They're quite old. Anyway its important to note the key step in his process is that Startech VGA - > HDMI upscaler box he's using. It probably has the same internal stuff as …

I would just stick to X264 VFW anyway. you should be able to capture good enough looking footage. If you're that concerned with lossless capture, you might look at MagicYUV https://www.magicyuv.com/ it's got a price though, but it definitely performs and has tons of bit-depth / color space options. …

a little hesitant to pick up a DGC103C because it seems like it might be a little underpowered. I want something I can grab a full 60fps with in DOS/Windows at higher resolutions. $25 and local too so shipping would be fast, but still... I got enough frivolous toys for now I guess. This Gefen would …

Re: VGA Capture Thread

I'll be honest in that I haven't studied Phil's captures very closely but assuming they came from real DOS captures and not DOSBox then I'd say it never occured to me there -might- be tearing there. At this point tearing is a secondary concern, I'm more curious as to why my capture card goes full …

Re: VGA Capture Thread

My initial impressions of the Gefen VGA2DVI Scaler Plus I picked up are very mixed/trending negative. Right now I am not sure if it is an issue with the scaler unit, or my capture card, or a combination of the two. Although last night I had somewhat stable 1080p output, the card would stutter / …

Re: Bought these games today

You wouldn't have to break the box down. Just a scan of the front and back would be great. Well, I don't quite know how to do that with any scanner I would have access to.. they don't need the lid closed or what? Oh. I have Zero Divide (PC) but I got it on one of those CD racks back in the day for …
