Using Blackmagic shuttle usb 3.0 with m11x problems

Yes, that will work for SD interlace, just make sure in the Blackmagic Control Panel, that the input is set to “Composite”. You should then be able to capture in 576i.

Regarding SSD, just make sure the read/write rates are above 220MB/s. You really only need SSD to capture uncompressed HD, but if you don’t mind using DVCProHD, I successfully use this drive:

Also, looking at your speed tests, when capturing in SD, you can capture in 8-bit uncompressed, that’ll make the video look better, though it uses more hard drive space.

ayt going to try with composite now in 576i, how do i put the settings actually?
and what settings for my xbox it has 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p?

https://imgur.com/YA8qL this is my disk speed test from just right now it says i can do 10bit but as soon as i try i get the dropped frames screen abort when i usually try, ill try it again now.

Ill keep that hard drive in mind when i have enough

If you’re going to do uncompressed (I’d go with 8-bit, it’ll save on hard drive space), just use the Blackmagic Media Express software. Set it to PAL SD 576i, 8-bit uncompressed, and hit the record button.

Also, make sure it is capturing to the correct hard drive.

im still not sure what to set my xbox 480p? to as once i plug it into the shuttle i cant change it untill i disconnect it.

My monitor has only hdmi input so i cant connect it directly to the xbox through the composite

According to this, the XBox should automatically detect that you’re using composite, and output SD interlaced only:

so ive tried and i cant get a screen preview to even let me record and i believe its due to the settings
i dont think the xbox is realizing its using composite or my monitor might not be recognizing the composite~hdmi hmm :S

Could possibly messing with the control panel help me use hdmi and record in sd? saw a few settings for input and output processing

[Mike Squires]

You could try that. Set it to convert to SD, and give it a go.

i finally got recording work to an excellent quality last night i downloaded a program called amarectv a while ago and gave it a go since i had a basic understanding of putting the settings corecctly in and lo and behold it worked a charm quality is reaally good though not sure what ive recorded it in, but files are about 1gb a minute.

Now that ive got a recorded file would i edit it in adobe premiere as a work around to avoid all the recording problems?

Now currently trying to get streaming working now i believe im meant to use flash media encoder so im giving it a go.

i think i understand codecs a bit more now, could you run me through encoding and editing?

also when it comes to editing im hearing sony vegas pro is the best? is this what premiere pro does?
