Blank Preview Screen Win 8

[malleus]

I set up the Game Capture to record from my Xbox 360 via HDMI.

I made a successful test capture and everything worked quite well.

After a Check Bandwith Test in the Live Stream Options, the software froze and crashed.

Now the preview video stays blank and I noticed that I have duplicated Input entries (see screenshot below).

 

I tried reinstalling/repairing of the software, playing around with the input resolution (respectively on the Xbox360 as well), rebooting and so on, but nothing seems to work. I can capture just fine and also hear the preview sound; only the preview picture is missing.

 

In cases like this I usually fall back on a clean software installation, but even though I deleted all obvious folders that could contain settings for the software, it doesn't seem to work. The software reinstalls with the same settings.

 

Now I'm here hoping for friendly help

Thanks in advance!

 

My computer specs are:

Intel® Core™ i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.5GHz

6144MB RAM

Windows 8

NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M

Here is how I fixed it:

 

1) Go to the install location of the Roxio Game Capture HD PRO software and open the folder Media Import (C:\Program Files (x86)\Roxio Game Capture HD PRO\ Media Import in my case).

 

2) Right click on the MediaCaptureGame1X application.

 

3) Choose Run with Graphics processor > Change default graphics processor...

 

4) Click on Add

 

5) Find the MediaCaptureGame1X application (C:\Program Files (x86)\Roxio Game Capture HD PRO\Media Import) and click Open

 

6) Under 2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program:

select High-performance NVIDIA Processor and click on Apply

 

 

 

Hope that works for you.

This guy: http://forums.suppor...en/#entry429123 got me on the right track. Thanks for that.

 

If you are on Windows 8 and you have the Blank/Purple Screen problem, check with what graphic accelerator the actual capturing software runs. The name of the software should be MediaCaptureGame1X.exe located in this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Roxio Game Capture HD PRO\Media Import

 

By default it ran on the Integrated graphics device on my computer, but when I started it with the (in my case) so called High-performance NVIDIA Processor, the preview screen works just fine again.

 

What you want to do is to make the High-performance NVIDIA Processor the default device for running the MediaCaptureGame1X.exe. This way, you can open the program still via the launcher shortcut on the desktop and it should still work.

Your onboard graphics should of been disabled when you installed the Nvidia card!

Not on a laptop. I guess that is where the problem lies.

When I use the software on the monitor that is plugged into the HDMI (which is the NVIDIA adapter) it works fine, but when I use it on the laptop screen (which is the integrated graphics adapter), it switches to the integrated graphics by default.

I don't see any of those options. "Run with graphics processor" isn't there when I right click.

From the Roxio Game Capture card output, you should have the Video R/G/B and Audio R/W connected to the TV Component IN.
