720P Turns Into 480P While Capturing

[criley0007]

Long time problem that I've always wanted to ask is why when I'm recording in 720p the recording will suddenly turn into 480p mid capture and from there on that recoding will be in 480p.

I can tell when this happens sometimes because the capture device will lose signal with the recording software and my tv screen will go black for a couple seconds before regaining signal. Other times I am unsure why it switched to 480p, although I've noticed it usually occurs when I have been recording for a long time.

Any tip or advice?

Thanks

I was not aware it would do that

 

I Suppose that might happen IF the signal from whatever you are using changed along the way...

 

Is that what might be happening?

This *might* be a bad install perhaps?

Maybe a bad install, I could also be my computer, which is very unreliable and old. I guess I could try to reinstall it.
