i have a gamecube and i was wanting to stream me playing it on just.tv. i was wondering how you would go about doing this. i have heard about something using S-video cable. which you can buy for the gamecube. but i want to know if anyone else has done this. any ideas?
You cant, your system thinks in b4 it shows up. Like you press a button, it will take a few seconds for the system to show the move ment. Or somthing like that, Its hard to explain in some ways.
Of course you can, just plug the Gamecube into a TV tuner. Give this a read - [url]http://blog.justin.tv/2007/12/broadcasting-different-video-sources.html[/url]
I saw someone on livestream playing Metroid Prime, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a ROM because it was running at full speed and didn't seem to have any of the sort of graphical glitches that Emulators often produce. Point being I'm pretty sure it's possible to stream stuff from your GameCube, although I've never streamed GameCube to the Internet, I have recorded footage from a GameCube to PC. The first thing would be to get a capture card for your computer if you don't already. [url=http://www.videohelp.com/capturecards]Here's a list (there's a search filter for 'Analog VideoIn')[/url] - you can get a PCI card which has analogue (composite) inputs, that would allow you to use the standard GameCube composite cables (those red, white and yellow cables). I have a USB capture device (with composite inputs) and it flawlessly records GameCube and Wii videos to hard drive (although it records at around 30fps by default). As for streaming video over the Internet, Livestream have a tool called [url=http://www.livestream.com/procaster]Procaster[/url], with the drivers for the capture card installed it should be able to utilise it, but I'm not 100% sure. Hope that helps. [QUOTE=computerwizard;17057886]You cant, your system thinks in b4 it shows up. Like you press a button, it will take a few seconds for the system to show the move ment. Or somthing like that, Its hard to explain in some ways.[/QUOTE] You mean there's a lag between pressing an input and the event occuring? It all depends on hardware really (as well as compression - some of the profiles included with the OEM software of my capture device have really retarded framerates, like 15fps). My computer can comfortably capture 60fps video signal from my GameCube/Wii, no problem. Now if I were trying to broadcast it over my shitty Internet...
Yea, it depends on the type of card. Mines a older one, so i only use it to watch tv...
cool i might try that. i heard something about my graphics card and the s-video plug on it, but its probably just an output signal.
Video capture card. Gamecube component cables go into splitter. One end to the TV, other end into the card. This will get rid of the dreaded 5 second lag when recording.
[QUOTE=BrettJay;17058209]-longpost-[/QUOTE] You go on about this FPS stuff, but you are aware that component standards based on NTSC and PAL both are Lower than 30FPS right?
does anyone have a link to the cable steele is talking about it sounds different
[url]http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5707[/url] Takes a week or two to arrive, though I like them. That cable should work.
awesome that looks way better than anything i have found. you think it would work with windows 7. guess all i would need is a splitter.
That site is good, so don't worry.
im going to get it and get some splitters. thanks for the help
