When I try to add them to vMix as a live capture source I get an error message saying "Unsupported Capture Resolution." Then it says supported resolutions are "add new input source." Is there anything I can do to make these work with the software? I have two other capture devices and they both work. It is just these two that I am having a problem with. Any help you can give would be most appreciated. Thanks

The full error message usually lists what resolutions you will need to select. Regards, Martin vMix

I had to do it in two parts because it didn't all show up at once. Screenshot 1: [img][/img] Screenshot 2: [img][/img]

Both have built in compression and compress to MPEG-2 which is unsuitable for capturing live video with vMix. I would recommend the Intensity Pro or Intensity Shuttle devices for raw capture.

Regards, Martin vMix I also have a Roxio Easy VHS to DVD device and a Pinnacle DVC 80. Do these handle the video input differently because they both work in vMix. Thanks.

Regards, Martin vMix Do you have any other capture devices that you recommend that are cheaper? Preferably under $100. Thank you.

Thank you. Is there any delay with the device from when the video comes into it and when the video stream comes to the computer? Thank you.

Have you ever tried this software with the Roxio Easy VHS to DVD capture device? I have one of those and am trying to figure out how the two of them compare. I have found them for the same price on amazon so I am trying to decide which one to get.

The only cards supported are those that provide raw video for vMix. That is, any card that does not have an encoder for MPEG-2 or H264 should work. The Hauppauge 1212 encodes to H264 and is therefore not supported. If you are recording HD, the Intensity Pro or Intensity Shuttle are the cheapest options. Regards, Martin
