XCapture-1 Viewport Fullscreen mode?

Post by HappehLemons »

Hey guys, I'm pretty new and didn't see a software section so I'm sticking this here. Sorry if this is the wrong spot! It seems like you guys are the experts on recording software and admittedly I don't play much shumps, so here I go!

I recently got an XCapture-1 and often play games using the Videokeeper2 capture window because of how low latency it is, this is really one of the main reasons I got it.

With vVdeokeeper(1?) you were able to go fullscreen, but it seems like there's no way to go true fullscreen with VideoKeeper2. There's a pretty huge border around the preview area, is there any way to get rid of it? Or perhaps alternate software that I can use to view my XCapture-1 source fullscreen or maybe some way I can force it?

It seems like most other programs that are able to view my XCapture-1 as a soruce have increased latency which keeps me using VideoKeeper2, but I really want to preview in fullscreen mode somehow.

Thanks for any help!

Have you checked out Amarec by any chance? Great capture software that does allow full screen plus a ton more useful features like rotation (handy for vert capture). I use it with the XCapture-1 flawlessly.

Thanks for the suggestion. This work pretty well, but I do sense some latency that I didn't with VideoKeeper. I haven't run any hard tests though, but I do know I there is noticeable delay. I suppose the best option here would be to somehow remove the GUI from VideoKeeper... Is this possible in any way? I tired a couple programs that remove windowed borders but they didn't do much since the VideoKeeper window isn't really a traditional window.

This is why you have a passthrough on the device.

No problem!

I've always noticed lag using just Videokeeper alone. Like what Thrill is saying, I'm just using the device for recording, I'm playing everything on a CRT for lagless play and just passing the feed to the XCapture-1.
