Recording Genesis and Master System games with capture card

[rolins]

Capture card: KWORLD DVD Maker PCI
Software: Ulead Video Studio 9's Movie Maker. I've also tried using this PVR program and got the same results.

How about giving a go with Virtualdub? It's freeware program for video editing and capturing. Might as well try it, who knows it might solve your problems too.

Thanks, I'll try giving it a go.

This doesn't happen when I capture in Final Cut Pro (I don't have a capture card, I use an external DV hardware codec converter which plugs into Mr. Firewire Port).  On a scale of 1 to 3, how much does this information help your current situation?

VirtualDub is also the program that Yakumo uses on RetroCore, so you know it must be good!

[Keranu]

Oh goodie! Open source + Yakumo? Too good to be true!

I've figured out your problem!!!!!  I can't believe nobody caught this before!!! 

The Genesis is a high definition video game system like the Xbox360 or the PlayStation 3... perhaps even a bit more powerful than those two combined.  It is much too powerful for your capture card, which is only wimpy standard definition.   Don't try to capture the Genesis' amazing HD graphics with a non-HD graphics card.


See that?  "High Definition Graphics".
They wouldn't have put that there
if it weren't 100% true.

System does do RGB output....

It was higher definition than the NES and SMS, so it was true at the time.

Guys I got some groundbreaking news. I found a new program called the "ZD Soft Game Recorder". And let me tell ya, this blows FRAPS out of the water! In fact just think of it as a mix of FRAPS and Tech Smith's screen capture programs like Camtasia and SnagIt.

And a video I made of one of the results.

Ever since I found this program, I haven't used the built-in AVI record feature in emulators, and Keranu if the preview screen itself doesn't have waves and only does when you're done capturing, you can also probably cheat your capture card with this thing and successfully get a good Sega video

Best thing about it, you can also record in MPEG for this thing so that you possibly won't have to go and compress it.

Nice find on that ZDsoft program, I'll use it for games I can't capture on real hardware. Thanks!

ZD Soft Game Recorder seems too good to come true. I'll try it out sometime next week b/c after x-mas I'll be posting a ton of videos.

I've collect a lot of new games for the FM-Towns and PC-98 that I want to show them everyone.

Keranu, do you have a Turbo Duo or PCE system with the DIN/TG-16 controller port sized A/V plug?

If so, try recording from that with only video and then with only video + one sound channel to see if you get the same wavy effect.

Yeah I have a Turbo Duo with that A/V cable. I'll give your suggestion a try if i can remember.

Oh this ZD is for real alright dawg! My last batch of videos for the past couple of days have been Wonderswan/Wonderswan Color and Neo Geo Pocket Color, plus one MSX game.
