Fine, fine... I'll avoid doing that then, and totally stop bidding on these lots. And, no - there is definately no saving vs normal price here, if I have to get the whole 'container' shipped - rather the opposite... Probably the odds are against me, and I've just been 'unlucky' with my choice of …

Ok, so we conclude that Germans are particulary lazy, LOL... ? (and assuming they do not want to relist) Still be cheaper for me to PAY them to recycle than the monstrous shipping cost... hmm, maybe I'll suggest that the next time, heh... :happyhappy: Heck, they can even send it to the dump site via …

Ok, so do anyone know why so many sellers from Germany INSIST on shipping ALL items, nomatter if you only want a single one from their crapload of crap that is listed in a single auction ? Doesn't matter if I say I'll pay the full winning bid regardless - they STILL want me to waste tons of Euros on …

I meant that as an explanation as to why not just using the downloadable "PhynxRecorder and PhynxPlayer" which is mentioned in that previous link. It supposedly "...uses native drivers with dedicated file format.", not really sure what that means though. BIG EDIT: I've messed up the link for the …

I actually have an old VGA frame grabber card ('cheap'/90% discount, from ebay!), which accepts VGA-in(!), and presents it in actual resolution(source) on the recorder's desktop in a scaleable window or full screen, via the 'driver'(?) program... :happyhappy: Max res seems to be 1600x1200. That's …

As to 'source computer', yes - there are 2. 1 which plays the role of the recorder, the second is the... well, source :lol: Connected via a VGA cable from the source (occationally via some scan converter - for CGA/EGA machines(XT), and a vga splitter/amp), into a card on the recorder.

Ok, total newbie here, never recorded anything, but... :sweatdrop: Anyone doing this have a tip for a great HD stream capture program/software, that doesn't cost too much ? AND I really prefer something that is installable totally OFFLINE (no stinkin' activation or other 'retro-preventing' doo-das : …

Interesting topic! :cool: But sadly I cannot help much with the specific question on low resolution capable devices. I was looking for the same thing, and ended up buying a second-hand PCI framegrabber card somewhat 'cheap'....(normal price $1000!, or $1500 with local taxes, shipping etc) :money: …

Let us know how it works out 😎 * PS: also found this little site, with some copy2pc stuff, among other floppy related things... Maybe the older versions would sometimes work better, due to the 'weakening' they mention(?) http://retro.icequake.net/dob/
