Tried search function but didnt find anything. I purchased a new PC system and went for a VIVO gfx to record gameplay instead of using a VCR since a NTSC system VCR is hard to get (would need a card too to capture later). Now I need a software for this task. Read through the FAQ on sda.com written by Nate but it didnt really give me a good answer (he only brags with his AIW card). My question is if anyone of you people have any alternative to programs like Virtualdub to capture video with (no program was bundled with the card) and I have a pretty powerful computer to capture with so if they require some ram or CPU power that is not the problem. Any suggestions are welcome. PC system used for this is a AMD64 3500+, 1 GB of PC3200 DDR RAM and a Sapphire X1800GTO VIVO card.

The reason I ask here is that you (compared to SDA) have a very good reputation when it comes to technical issues. The SDA forum is so big too and the post will probably be moved down very quick. And if that wasnt enough I will problaby only be linked to other threads that doesnt help me. And besides that I have some personal disputes with Nate and his Metroid 2002 site. Currently banned from there. :)

well, this site uses emulators to record runs, I wouldn't expect too much knowledge about console recording from here. sda is not run by nate, try there.

The recording part of the SDA forum is nates territory. He has written every FAQ and stuff about recording on that site. He is also the one in charge of ripping peoples videos for that site. My goal is to do this without any depandace on SDA.

Why don't you like VirtualDub? I use it to capture video from TV tuner. I liked Corel capture and Ulead Video Studio much less =(

As much as I understand disliking certain people or forums or whatever, not asking for help in an area specifically existing for these kinds of questions sounds very weird to me.

Everyone makes their own decisions, and might want to avoid places or people they don't like, for some reason.

Can't say I saw that written anywhere.

If I find anything I'll PM you. EDIT: Found and PMed
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate
