Roxio Hd Gamecap Screen Has Weird Distorting Colours - Help?

[ZemaZ]

Hi there,

I have recently setup the Roxio HD GameCap and all is well. But, every so often the Playback screen on the software starts distorting with these colourful tiny pixelated boxes and lines. My computer (at least I think it is ) also starts to have a loud screeching noise. Once this happens, alot of the time I have to reboot my PC as mostly everything stops responding. I have tried a few things like update my Graphic Card's Drivers and Repair/Uninstall the Roxio Software which came with the Roxio HD GameCap, But it still keeps happening. It is starting to bug me a load as I cant produce videos without these happening. I am running HDMI Into and Out of the Roxio Device and everything shows up perfectly, until this weird 'Glitch' starts to happen.

I also tried moving my quality settings down to 480p but it still didnt work.

 

Here Are My PC Specs:

 

Windows 7 Ultimate

SP1

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 850 . 3.30 GHz

System Type: 64-Bit OperatingSystem

Graphics Card: NVidia GeForce GTX 460 v2

RAM: 4GB

Sound Card: ASUS Xonar DG

 

Any Help would be Appreciated.

Thanks alot,

-Ryan

In the capture box (when I had capture working for a day...) I had that happening, and got it to stop by turning down the Quality setting two bumps (it's to the left of the preview window when you're getting ready to capture).

 

The other thing I did was download Razer Game Booster, it turns off a lot of things running on your computer so it's dedicated to just capturing.

 

Good luck!

Ah! I put a new FireWire USB into the Roxio and I used GameBooster. I unchecked as many processors and programs I had and started it up. I had everything on max quality settings so it was still doing the weird distorting thing. I then just lowered my preview quality down a tad. and so far its been working fine for over 2 hours. I just dont want to get my hopes up just incase it happens later on or again

Thanks for the tips!

Interesting???

 

I am guessing the FireWire/USB card is where you are attaching your USB to the GameCAP?

 

"Preview Quality setting"??? What might you be referring to there???

[Solution]

There are no two separate sliders, only one.

I mean the preview screen quality slider.

Just happened again ;(

THERE IS NO SLIDER FOR PREVIEW QUALITY...

 

The "Quality" slider is for the Quality of the Captured File.

 

You need to try it from a different source, use a DVD or BD Player as the Input Source and let it capture for a while to see what happens.
