Capture Drains Color

[Punyuru]

I play a game where color is important because of the costumes and stuff. I noticed that the coloring when captured is drained, it makes the game look boring and dull.

 

Can anyone be of help? I tried to adjust brightness and stuff but it doesn't really do what I'd like it to do.

Might help a little if you provided your hookup info and specifics about your system

 

I have only dabbled a little but I noticed on mine that (using a DVD Player for a Source) color was good with HDMI but way off with Component!

 

My first reaction was to dive under the desk with a flashlight and recheck the Component connections!!!

 

After that, I opened the Enhance Picture controls and begin sliding things around...

 

 

Brightness and Contrast work about the opposite of what you would expect

 

Hue changes color and Saturation the intensity... (these 2 are probably where you need to be)

 

Also make sure your Video Card Drivers and Software are up to date! I know mine is 2 versions behind and I need to take the time to update it!!!

 

You cannot expect it to view the same on every device you use ~ that is why Everything has adjustment on them

 

You may want to keep a notebook of the Game and the Settings you use to save time as you go.

I use HDMI and component to record from the PS3. I played with the saturation and stuff but not getting what I want.

PS3 can only use Component to connect to the GameCAP.

 

Since colors, satuation, etc. are very subjective and specific to the TV & Monitors that you use (I have a PS Monitor and it can't come close to my HP's) you need to take this up with Roxio.

 

Up top, click the Support tab.

Can you post a screenshot of what you mean from a common game?

 

That way, at least one of us will likely have seen it in action and know what it should look like.
