Hi Guys. I would like to small express my experience about VGA/SVGA grabbing. After so many things I bought and tried ... And as I was starting to be rly lost I tried a solution thatbcosted me 25EUR...
And the overall quality is just superb! What is more it is grabbing even 320x200! There is no latency, no loss quality of sound or video ....

And what is the name of that magic device?

Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.

Today I recorded an example of DOS 320x200 @ 70Hz video capture using a combo of CRT Terminator Digital VGA Feature Card ISA DV1000 and StarTech USB3HDCAP HDMI Capture Device:

- direct video download that avoids YouTube recompression: https://oummg.com/dump/commander_keen_foray_i … _terminator.mkv (this is an unconventional 70Hz video file, if you have a high refresh rate gaming display to view it)

Unfortunately USB3HDCAP is a lossy 4:2:0 Chroma capture device, so some softening is present.

The CRT Terminator user manual now contains a section to go over the video capture settings that were used.
