Capturing HDMI/VGA/DVI Help! General Help Needed.

[Trybrid]

Hey there guys! I've been wanting to capture my video from my monitor forever now but I just cant seem to get a working method going for me. I have a monitor that runs either VGA/DVI and the setup right now is HDMI to DVI-A into my 360 and the regular component cables in their corresponding slot (both in at same time) and my optical cable into the component cables (for my mixamp).

I'm wondering one of two things.

How would I be able to capture DVI-A or VGA in the cheapest possible way?

Could I just simply capture the video off of the component cables that are plugged in alongside the hdmi even though im using the DVI for video out? Are they both exporting video, because I can get the optical audio I would assume that.

Thanks for any help guys:)

I believe you can not do both at the same time, the xbox can not handle sending both formats at the same time.

what you need is a vga splitter, and a way to convert vga into hdmi for your capture card, unless it support vga as well

Does anyone know of any VGA capture cards? Or where I can find a DVI/VGA splitter?

I found a VGA splitter, but it splits it into two VGA sources.

Not sure if you already went through this option but you would need:

Xbox 360 VGA Cable
VGA splitter
PC-to-TV Converter
Capture card such as the popular HD PVR or the Dazzle dvc100

This might be your only option if your monitor doesn't have the other video ports.

Hope this helps!

I have looked into this for my own personal desire before and there isn't a cheap solution with the technology we have now. What you need is a VGA splitter and a converter box that costs a ton of money. The box converts the VGA to component, also maybe hdmi available although I haven't found a box capable yet.

So items:
-xbox VGA cables
-capture card
-converter box (search vga converter box) this the $$$$
-any other necessary cables

(by the way I can't find a splitter that supports anything over 1280 x 720 and I don't know if any of this would affect input / screen lag).
