Those are both female and would work but extra cable mess.

Try to find these: http://www.amazon.com/C2G-Cables-40650-Female-Adapter/dp/B000M52X62/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1343252726&sr=1-2&keywords=RCA+splitter

Hmmm but the RCA output from my wii are male (iirc), so wouldn't the splitter need to be female at the input?

Sorry if these are obvious questions and such; I've pretty much never recorded anything seriously before <_<
Kart for SMK, and Seven for FF7.
I come back to say I fixed my problem with the NES. In fact, I bought another one, with the famous RCA outputs.



Now I can capture the screen without any problem. So I'll focus on Dragon's Lair speedrun. Thanks everyone ! Wink
EzCAP advertises the ability to capture XBOX360, PS3, and Wii footage, but does it also work with older consoles? Does it work with all consoles or are there consoles that it doesn't work with?

Also, my TV is old...really old. It only has RCA inputs. Does this device work with RCA inputs?
i've never heard of problems using easycaps with any analog device. it's the more expensive ripoff cards like the black magic intensity pro that you have to worry about compatibility problems with old consoles. basically, easycap for analog video, hd cards for hd video. believe in segregation and you will triumph.
Not a walrus
Having used both I prefer a Dazzle for SD video, but that's just me.

From my knowledge all old systems like NES, SNES, Genesis etc are all 240p video. The EzCAP can capture 240p fine. The other is 288p for PAL which is fine.

All newer systems (Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube etc) output 480i or 576i for PAL which is also captureable as the real standards for video.

Obviously the 360, PS3 and Wii are also 480i, 576i and captureable.

The items I linked in step 1 are all RCA connectors and the main capture source for the EzCAP so your TV is fine.

Question about this thing.

Has anyone ever gotten the EzCAP working in Ubuntu Linux?

I'm just trying to get it to work so I can stream from a Ubuntu box I have, but I've been unable to get anything working yet.
if you're talking about a stk1160-based easycap, you might google stk1160 linux driver. some choice threads:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/syntekdriver/forums/forum/616182/topic/2803299
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=924504

no idea whether there are any packages or merges with mplayer or whatever. sorry, that's about all i know.
AKA breakyoumegama n
Not sure whether I have that one or not. When I run lusb it says it's by eMPIA Technology, Inc.

There are actually people on the ubuntu forums claiming that the drivers for the eMPIA type of EzCAP are available in the current Linux kernels and that it should just work out of the box. I'm still running 11.10 because I was having a problem with 12.04 and a webcam but I could try to install 12.04 again and see if this thing works in there.
stk1160 easycap vid is 0x05e1 and pid is 0x0408.

Willing to teach you the impossible
Just upgraded my primary HDD to a SSD and I went with the 64 bit version of Windows 7. And as I feared, my SD capture card is being a pain. My HD card works just fine though... Any ideas?

Attachment:
do you have an easycap? if so do you need the 64-bit easycap driver? i think someone else had better give it to you though because i have no idea which one is good.
Willing to teach you the impossible
So I just tried 4 different drivers, all blue screened me once I tried to select the device in Vdub.

are the easycap drivers i use, also on 7 x64.

Not that anyone is interested in this but me (at the moment anyway) but I'm just writing in here again today to say that I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64-bit version) and the EzCAP (the Empia version) does sort of work. I've gotten it to show video in VLC, guvcview, and in tvtime, but I am unable to get audio. I am certainly not the most knowledgeable Linux guy, but I fiddled with it for hours to no avail - I can get video only. I have heard that a workaround would be to simply run your game's audio cables into a RCA to 3.5mm converter and just plug it in to the mic port on your computer to get the audio.

Only problem with using Ubuntu to stream is (from what I can find) the lack of good video software like Xsplit. There is one called Webcam Studio but it runs the video kind of choppy for my liking. But then again I'm also not running a super fast CPU in this box so that could be a problem as well.
sounds like you probably have an easycap without high-quality audio. thus running the audio yourself is the only solution. in the end, it's six in one, half dozen the other.
AKA breakyoumegama n
Yeah I suppose it's possible. What I can tell you is that I've read others who have this audio issue in Linux as well. I have also plugged it into a Windows box in another room and it works great there. VLC and VirtualDub appear to get audio just fine and it sounds great. The only thing there is that the audio is lagged in the real-time video, but when I record and view the recording, the audio does not appear to be lagged at all.
oh, maybe it is a driver thing then. it's weird though because you'd think an ac97 driver would come standard with the kernel. maybe you need to configure it manually somehow.
Shoryuken?
Man, that looks like a lot of work. Thank you for your efforts.
not sure if this is the correct forum for this but, I have a recording of a run that i'd like to submit using AmarecTV but there is a watermark in the bottom left corner. I dont know if this is acceptable or not. I fixed it in a later run but it is 3 min slower and i dont know which one i should submit...

You can install the Lagarith codec as explained in this guide and use that in Amarec if you want. You will most likely not be able to submit the watermark run. Just retry till you can equal or better your watermark run.
ok thanks
I'd like to record a PS3 game in HD (720p at least) using RCA video cable, and EzCap of course. I have a 7200rpm secondary drive. Is it possible?
