cav8000 Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 I am thinking about buying one of these because it has component inputs and it should output into AVI, right? I am thinking about using this device to record from a DVD player with non-protected content. Has anyone tried that here with this device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yes it accepts Component Input! "...it should output to AVI, right?" - What does that mean??? The included Software captures in m2ts format, period! You can use the editor to output that in many, many formats if your not happy with mts Read through the Specs very closely to make sure you meet or exceed them HERE Here is mine hooked up to a DVD Player with Component: (NOTE: HDMI Will Not work as it will sense a Protected Signal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cav8000 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks Jim. I saw online that this product stated that it could output in .avi format. Not sure about the M2TS format. I'm not sure how that compares to the quality of .avi. I believe the standard Roxio Capture does avi. Also, how do you hook this device up to record dvds. I would be using component to go from the dvd player to the component IN on the device. Then would the only other connection be the USB cable to my pc? Can you see what you are recording on the pc monitor by only using the USB cable from the device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yes! Hooked up just as you describe and the USB is what supplies the Software for capture. M2TS is what AVCHD & BD use. You can downgrade it is need be selecting any of the other outputs and qualities if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cav8000 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks Jim, I was thinking that I might need to use an HDMI from the device to my monitor just to see what I'm recording. I'm glad the USB would take care of that instead. If M2TS is better quality or just as good as .avi then I guess I could use something like m2tsplayer to play the files I create on my pc?

cav8000 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Just an update. I purchased the Roxio Game Capture HD Pro and it's working beautifully with recording from dvds. The M2TS format looks great and can be played with Windows Media Player. Thanks for your help, Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
cav8000
I am thinking about buying one of these because it has component inputs and it should output into AVI, right? I am thinking about using this device to record from a DVD player with non-protected content. Has anyone tried that here with this device?
