Roxio Hd Sending 4 Colored Lines

[JEDI_CAPRICORN]

Hello.. i have the older regular roxio game cap, but my friend just purchased and received the ROXIO HD PRO. he is trying to stream and or record game play footage. when he goes to stream or record the roxio is only sending a signal of FOUR COLORED VERTICAL LINES (blue, green, purple and red) he is not using HDMI since ps3 doesnt allow it, so he is using component cables..

 

anyone know why the roxio is sending the 4 colored vertical lines and not the ps3 video?

 

Thanks for any help

Tell him to swap the red cables. Or to check to make sure the cables are in the right inputs. That's what usually causes it.

that doesnt seem to be the problem.. hes using component cables, they are hooked up correctly and the only software or site that doesnt get the vertical lines is the included Roxio software but his cpu is not fast enough to use it resulting in terrible recordings..

 

whenever he goes to a stream site or tries to record from cam on youtube or use ADOBE LIVE FLASH MEDIA encoder hes still getting the 4 vertical colored bars..

 

please help.

 

thanks

??? Maybe I missed something but keep in mind the device ONLY works with the included software...

 

...and it does work OK when you use it with the GameCAP Software, correct?

i use the standard ROXIO GAME CAP and i stream to blogtv.com, livestream.com, use it with the ADOBE FLASH LIVE MEDIA ENCODER and it works fine.. so the device does work with other programs and streaming websites..

 

he gets a signal with the roxio game cap software but the video recordings are terrible due to his laptops poor processing power so he wants to use the ADOBE FLASH LIVE MEDIA ENCODER to record his games and then upload them to youtube..

Tell him to try these steps:

 

1. Play in 1080i/p, record in 720p(Roxio software settings) and set the bitrate to 10mbps or higher(until the glitched screen starts to happen, I'm assuming). When you do this, the preview screen will lag but the recording will be smooth. If he wants to livestream, have him play in 720p and hit capture while the software settings are at 480p, max bitrate(15mbps) and then livestream from a selected region.

 

2. If the game doesn't play in 1080i/p, tell him to play in 720p and record in 720p at 10mbps ONLY.

 

3. Make sure that there are NO other programs except the Roxio capture software. If it helps more, switch to Windows classic.
