Easycap setup

[TheLordsOfGamecraft]

I dont have the use audio port thingy so what do I do?

[NATB100]

@TheLordsOfGamecraft I think its the only way. You can buy them for a very low price on ebay or amazon.

[TheLordsOfGamecraft]

@NATB100 no not that I mean in system settings I dont have *Choose audio port* but it doesnt really matter I fixed it anyway

[aashishgundecha1]

yo yh i am on 10.7 but i cannot access the software as when i downloaded it and opened it it does not open that black window and when i try to play it manually the play button is ristricted

[aashishgundecha1]

hey man what mac version are u on and what visions does easy cap require, I'm on 10.7 will it work

[NATB100]

@aashishgundecha1 Yeah, it should work on 10.7.

[NATB100]

@Nintendo46 Nice, thats good news.

[NATB100]

@Nintendo46 Thats odd, if you are able to use EasyCapViewer, your EasyCap has to be able to do 60 hertz, I'll look into it and tell you as soon as I find an answer. If you could video your problem, that would be helpful.

[NATB100]

@Nintendo46 Have you tried 50 hertz?

[94Villa]

The audio jack, does that go into the headphone point on the side of a mac. Btw i'm using a macbook, so don't know if its the same or not. 

[NATB100]

@94Villa It goes in the audio jack. (The "headphone point")

[xThatAsianGuy23x]

Hey, may I ask, what's that audio thingy called? the one which the red + white go into the headphone jack?

[NATB100]

@xThatAsianGuy23x Its an unbranded phono to audio jack.

[NATB100]

@Beastyjames23 Would it be possible to show me a photo or a video of your problem. That way it would be easier for me to help.

[SXSupermanSX]

[NATB100]

@SXSupermanSX You could try. Whats wrong with the composite (yellow) cable? Is it just not showing up? Have you tried changing the Video format?

[anaheimduckschamps]

i dont have the option you have @3:07. The use audio port for thing

Help!!

[NATB100]

@anaheimduckschamps What type of Mac are you using and when was it bought. I'm using a late 2009 MacBook Pro 13"

I'll do everything I can to help.

[CreativeEmpyre]

@NATB100 It keeps saying easycap dc60 not found. Note:DC60+ is not supported when i open up easycapviewer everytime :( help please

[Menuchah]

I have tried using the easycap itself and the easycap with a phono/jack adapter and still have no sound. I don't have a 'use audio port for' drop down menu to choose audio in from. It's just not there. I am attempting to transfer Hi8 camcorder footage from the camera to the computer, not Xbox footage. Might this be the issue?

[txbauscher]

Your video instruction for using the converter was a great find! We couldn't figure out why we weren't getting audio on our iMac until I viewed the first few seconds of your video! The converter did the trick! Thank you! Now we're off to figure out how to get all our old VHS to iMovie!!

[IFaILL3IN]

the use audio port isnt on my computers sound...

[xxxodeexxx]

i need some help with my easycap can we talk through email plzz

[XcodeDev]

why does my easycap lag whenever I play back the video?

[NATB100]

@XcodeDev It might be because you didn't check the box (at 10:08 of the video) that turns recording to RAM on. It will then make the video very smooth. I recommend you have at least 4GB of RAM if you are going to use this option.

If this didn't help, just message back and i'll try again :D

[XcodeDev]

@NATB100 Thanks man! This worked! But I still have a small problem. Since I can only record about 2 minutes in the highest setting, when I hit stop recording, it gives me the "beach ball" and it takes awhile to stop and save. Then I have to hit start and this also takes a good 30 seconds. Why is this? is there any other FREE software that is better for EasyCAP? Thanks!

[NATB100]

@XcodeDev Sorry, there is no other software for EasyCap. Just record on medium settings, that should record for longer (4 minutes minimum, 8 minutes maximum) and it should take less time to process. If this doesn't work, just message me again and i'll try another solution. Hope this helps!

(The other option is the HD PVR... If you have enough money :P)

[KRiZZxTV]

Love your tutorials, by any chance are you related to Sheamus?

[ThePersianPunk]

@NATB100 Ive found a simple solution. Plug it into the microphone port right next to the headphone port. Then for input click on line in and turn the gain level all the way up. It works for me

[NATB100]

@ThePersianPunk Ok, where is the microphone port on the MacBook pro 13"?

I am simply just showing people this just incase they have a Mac without a microphone port. Thanks for commenting.

[ThePersianPunk]

@NATB100 k didnt know that

[NATB100]

@ThePersianPunk It's ok, we all have room to learn more.

[batesy200]

On mine, when i click configure audio, it only has the built in microphone available, i have a phono to jack thing, but its more like a wire, is that the problem? woops sorry commented too soon XD

[NATB100]

@batesy200 Follow these steps:

1) Go to system preferences

2) Click on "Sound"

3) Make sure the "Use audio port for" is set to "Sound input"

This should convert your audio jack from out to in. If you have followed these steps and it still isn't working; try to make a video showing what you use and/or what you are doing on on your computer. This could help me. If, for whatever reason you cant video it, simply send me a link to a picture of your "Phono to jack"

Hope this helps.

[batesy200]

@NATB100 Thanks it works now :)

[batesy200]

On mine, when i click configure audio, it only has the built in microphone available, i have a phono to jack thing, but its more like a wire, is that the problem?

[TeamDarkCrystal]

So you play on Your Laptop? How do I set this all up since I use my TV?

[NATB100]

@TeamDarkCrystalI I play through my TV too, I would have explained it, but I was running out of time as youtube only gives you 15 mins unless you are a partner. The way I do it is: I use a component/composite cable. I connect the component cable into my TV, then I connect my composite to my easycap. You can order one from amazon, just go to amazon, then type in: xbox component/composite.

If you want, I will make a video for you showing you exactly how I do it.

[TeamDarkCrystal]

@NATB100 PLease do sir. I think I have these cables...but I am totally not sure.

[NATB100]

@TeamDarkCrystal The video may be delayed for a few weeks as the camera broke on me when I was filming your request, sorry for the inconvenience...

[TeamDarkCrystal]

@NATB100 Its cool...I'll wait lol..but if you can find a way to record from your Mac...please do that...I'll manage to find out what your talking about.

[Lukeaduke99]

look at my response video plaease i need help

[LightSoul13]

whats the sound thing called and do you connect it to where you connect speakers or where you can connect a microphone

[NATB100]

@LightSoul13 The "sound thing" is called a "Phono to mini jack". If you own a macbook (or macbook pro), plug it into the place where you connect the speakers. If you want to buy one, I have found one on ebay for you (add the dots in):

cgi(dot)ebay(dot)com/GOLD-3-5m­m-Mini-Jack-Stereo-2-x-RCA-Pho­no-Adapter-/120618394060?pt=LH­_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c15­6aa1cc#ht_963wt_913

If you live in the UK, just say and I will give you a link for the UK ebay.

Hope this helps!
