amezingly enough it works,now i can record again hey hey!!

[mrgodzilla99]

I just got a pinnacle transfer off eBay and it won't record neither will it recognize the RCA cables any help please?

[IVIikeH0nch0]

@mrgodzilla99 is the xbox switch in the sack set to SD, and not HD?

needs to be SD.

thats all i can think of

[IVIikeH0nch0]

@mrgodzilla99 i honestly suggest upgrading to an HD recorder. i don't have a job to buy one, but i plan on it in the future, my pinnace still works fine, its just HD is better.

[neogaiden]

yeah the quality sucks.. so what man.. this stuff is the easiest to use yet.. and yeah cause you only need this and a storage device.. like flash drives or hd drives. which also means this won't lag if you have a sucky comp lol

[xlecriss]

whats better: Pinnacle Video Transfer or the Dazzle DVC 107 ? (for the quality not the price.. lol)

[watchy0ubac]

Well it depends on what your looking for exactly and if you have a computer/laptop on hand when your recording. Because for the Dazzle you need that computer by your side so you can start and stop recording but the with the video transfer you can plug a flash stick into it and just transfer that to your computer to edit and upload. But if you do have a computer you should jsut keep looking up qality tests and reviews of both products, at least that's what I'd suggest.

[FonzLovesHisSideKick]

ProTip : Make you brightness Higher When Your Recording. ;)

[XxDaGGa]

The down side of this product is you can not record in red green blue Wich is better quality picture if any one had figured out how to record in red green blue please let me know

[JokinU1993]

hey i have a question i have the PVT and it works great but i was wondering how can i get audio from other people talking like when im in a game or in a lobby whenever i put it on my computer or ipod i cant hear my voice or anybody elses and what do you prefer for editing?

[calwhat]

u need to put voice set to play through

[tmush217]

have them play through your speakers and headset.

[JokinU1993]

i put voice to play through both my headset and my speakers but when i did that and recorded and layed it on my computer it still had no voice?

[tmush217]

you should be able to hear other peoples voice, but not your own.

[JokinU1993]

yea thats it i cant hear anyones voice not mine or my friends

[Crazyrogue]

prefrences > voice > play through both. and you cant hear yourself only other people

[StealthStudios360]

hey my pinnacle video transfer works but then when i turn it off it wont record plz help!

[mng1994]

I use Dazzle and lossless codecs to get great quality. But your video looks good anyways!!!

[MethoDSuX]

It looks terrible

[weirdal27]

Really? It seems pretty good if you watch it in high quality. Looks as good as my SDTV, actually.

[SORA870]

A 500GB hardrive that would have up to like 3,000 hours or 2,000 lol

[calwhat]

no because at high quality 250 gigs is 187 hours

[uvbeendone]

i have this it rocks

[tomtoms8]

ye, im getting a external 500gb for my video tranfer, so i can have about 400 hours of video on that hard drive i think. lol

[Dea1hdealerNL]

i have a 120gb hard disk for it =D i can record 180 hours on highest qaulity

[IVIikeH0nch0]

well the thing is you don't record to a PC.

you record to a flash stick and then transfer to PC.

That way your not FORCED to play game next to a computer.

[MuffinMariney]

@IVIikeH0nch0 thats what i like about it, but my wont record anymore for some reason

[SweatinSickness]

Hey Honcho! I'm getting loadsa lines on all my game recordings. It aint the pvt, cuz I had a new replacement, and it aint my flash drive or external HD. Think it could be the RCA splitters? Have you had any trouble?

Check out my latest vid, you'll see what I mean.

[IVIikeH0nch0]

Yeah thats pretty bad looking.

I cant explain why My videos dont show it.

The lines magically go away.

The only thing i can guess is the file type Im using. The "VLC Media Player". Its a free download. Set that player as your primary media player. All videos will show up as a VLC media file. Pinnacle "says" it "Deinterlaces video"

I suggest trying that, if not lower the quality.

I can't offer anything more than that cause I promise you I don't do anything else to record and display videos

[SweatinSickness]

Ah ok, thanks for the tip. I know it's something to do with recording from my consoles, as I recorded a whole dvd (using a dvd player not a games console) and transfered it to an ipod with no trouble or lines.

[SweatinSickness]

bah, didn't make any difference, ta anyways.

[chazamax]

If you have a turtle beach and a hd tv you dont need any splitters :) Coz the turtle beach splits sound any way so you hear and it saves on PVT and you dont need the yellow cable in tv. Hop this helps (might be a bit confusing.)

[ExileOfBlood]

Have I've just watched your other video on the PVT and was wondering how you get the sound? I use the same method as you, and get the sound in my recordings but while I play the games, obviously there's no sound. How would I do this?

[IVIikeH0nch0]

xbox sound cords plug into TV. my tv has sound output jacks that irun into the PVT instead of into a stereo or extra speakers. most new tvs even some old decent TVS have this built in. if you have a home stereo hooked into TV the main reciever should have an extra set. if not you need splitters

[ericn24]

hey was getting a new flash drive any better becuase im using the sandisk cruzer also and well you know my problem

[IVIikeH0nch0]

thats pretty much as good as it gets

[Dea1hdealerNL]

could you help me how did you get it in this high qaulity

[Marine50x]

how did you make it wide screen??

[IVIikeH0nch0]

at the dash board menu. My tv is widscreen. If you play on a standard Tv i still suggest changing your screen ratio to "16:3" in stead of "4:3", you see more of the FOV. And your recordings will also be "16:3" or, A.K.A. "Widescreen"

[ericn24]

where can you get component wires for the pinnacle video transfer because im using composite cables on my standard tv and when i record on best and put the vid on youtube i can't get it to say "watch in high quality" and im using the sandisk cruzer which is the same as my other friend but he is getting it to say "watch in high quality" please help

[bmwills8993]

in your description you stated interlacing doesnt matter on youtube.

i uploaded my video and it looks the same as it does when i first recorded it, with those stupid lines

[XxSoupaSebxX]

Yeah, i have lines too, how do i fix it?

[IVIikeH0nch0]

I don't know, they just go away at least for me on You tube.

Try downloading the "VLC media player", its free.

It might have something to do with it, i just honestly didn't think so.

[pookiethegamer]

please help, im trying to hook up my xbox to the pinnacle.

but i don't understand how to do dat, & is the video as crappy as it sounds?

[oooFethennour]

I didn't understand why you need to use 3 sets of 2-female-to-1-male RCA plugs. Can you please explain ? Thank you very much :)

[IVIikeH0nch0]

This is so you can record & play at the same time. You have to send a signal to your Capture Device, and to your TV at the same time.

Those plugs are for that purpose.

You don't need the plugs though if you have Componet wires (Red, Blue Green)

Simply plug up the XBOX as normal in to TV using Red, Blue, Green plugs. Plug the Yellow into capture.

Now if you don't have another set of wires to run your sound from stereo source, you will need 2 sets of plugs.

[oooFethennour]

Thank you very much.

[Anton338]

This is pretty good quality!

Me and my friends are thinking about doing some machinimaking so we need something like this.

[senorbarrigas]

hey i looked through your other cod4 videos and i am wondering what stetting did you capture in with the PVT? I just bought the PVT yesterday.

[IVIikeH0nch0]

This is on High Quality, i swear i seen your name somewhere before....forums?

[senorbarrigas]

LOL more than likely the xbox forums. So by high you mean "best" right?

[IVIikeH0nch0]

yeah i have a photographic memory.

Yes thats what i mean high = Best = 3 LED lights

Good capture I'm glad i bought, too many crappy videos out there. Cameras filming crappy TVs, Crappier captures that have poor quality.

[senorbarrigas]

i know what you mean man, the pictures are all cut off or just plain bad. that is how my first few videos are..bad! Hopefully now that i have this I can make some good ones.

[helimeef]

It looks fantastic dude :D

I just bought one too and did a test upload... Waiting for it to process and then I'll have to wait for the high quality link to show up. WOOOT.
