cheap hardware video capture card
« on: Feb 18th, 2005, 7:41pm » |

can anyone recommend a cheap graphics card that'll enable me to capture my output?
i'm good enough at programming to make pretty things that'd look ace edited to music but not good enough to write a decent efficient way of capturing processings output.
a cheap hardware solution would let me run stuff and edit it together at my leisure.
thanks in advance,
jon

I'm not sure what format you want to capture to.
One way I have created movs from my sketches is by running the sketch with a saveFrame() at the end of the loop() statment to grab an image of each frame. Then I use QuickTimePro to compile the tiffs into a movie.
This only works with non-interactive and non-video sketches b/c the saveFrame() really slows things down.

exactly, using saveFrame() aint quick enough.
and screencapture utilities drop frames as well.

Best way is external hardware if you can, so output your monitor to something that can record, such as a dv cam, video or even feed it back into a capture card. depends n what outputs your video card has and what kit you have.

which brings me back to my original question, can anyone recommend a cheap hardware capture board of any kind?

I just bought a Winfast VC100 Xp from Ebuyer.com for £19.96 GB (about $37)
It's ok, nothing special, works with WinVDIG for Processing and Eyesweb, drivers are a little cpu heavy though.
