Capture and playback HDMI for timeshift

This capture box is very good for timeshift recording if the user has *the right configuration*. This allowed a streaming movie to be saved and time-shifted as an MP4 or FLV flash video file that could be played in the free VLC media player. Programming if you have a Pyle Video Game Capture Card Device. Along with the Pyle device shown here, you will need: PC or Mac with an available USB 3.0 port and a console display running in medium to high resolution mode (very high resolution displays will not work with Open Broadcaster Software Studio - OBS- recommended) Pyle. I used a mid 2011 MacBook as an OBS video editing console) Connecting an HDMI cable to a computer Connecting an HDMI cable to a playback display A freely available copy of Open Broadband Software Studio (OBS) to set up recording as shown in the manual . Free copy of VLC media player to play recordings. After downloading and configuring OBS (using the manual's default settings or the OBS wizard) and connecting the Pyle video capture device between the computer and its playback monitor, find the streaming source, start recording, and start the streaming source . When streaming ends, recording may also end and the resulting FLV media file contains video and audio and remains available for instant playback. Pretty cool. Pyle's literature shows or suggests other ways of using the device, e.g. B. storing video and audio from Blu-ray or DVD discs instead of a streaming source as stated on the packaging. Using VLC Player to save and play the media stream. The only downside is that OBS doesn't work well with very high-resolution displays and the seemingly uncommon FLV media file format, although VLC Media Player can play it.
