I'm gonna try this out with Windows 7 when I have some free time. I don't really like Amarec all that much, but I still use it for some purposes. Also, I've never been able to upgrade from AmarecTVLive v2.31 to v3.10. If I try to install the newest version, it still says 2.31. Pretty sure it doesn't matter though.

Fair warning to all: this doesn't work on Windows 7 at this moment. Only works for Windows 8.1 64-bit.

I take it I am running into issues with AmarecTV v4.01 because I have not 'purchased' the license of AMV4.02? The reason being, it seems I have installed both AMV4.02 and amV3.00i along with AmarecTV v4.02 application, but when I go and run it (even as Admin) the app window appears but becomes not responsive. When I dig deeper into the Amv4VideoCodec directory, I have installed the batch file amv4_install as Admin, completes successfully, but when I try and open AmvConfig64 from that same Amv4VideoCodec directory, I get error : Not Install codec. Do I simply need to register the codec? Navigating the sites was difficult enough, would love some assistance if someone has gone through this. If anyone knows if the application itself does not offer english support yet I probably won't even continue.

P.S. I am in fact running Windows 8.1 64bit

Hey I miss Windows 8.1 on my Dell tablet, maybe someone on their dev team likes touch-screens :lol:

Even though it says Windows 10 isn't supported, it does work on Windows 10. The issue appears to be that it does not have a complete English translation, and it freezes if it detects English. You can run it in Japanese by setting iLanguage=0 in AmaRecTV4.ini, and with that, it runs fine for me on Windows 10. Just in Japanese.

Basically AmaRecTV is considered one of the cream-of-the-crop video capture/desktop recording software for PC, mostly due to the fact it's free, doesn't use that much processing power (surprisingly) and works with any codec you give it.

It appears this version slaps the AMV4 watermark on recorded footage even if you're using a different codec. As far as I can tell, it has also removed some features (such as scan line doubler, screen rotation, horizontal color shift settings etc.). Audio playback seems to be broken, but it records just fine. Not looking like a great release so far.

I got the new version working in Win7. Same way someone got it working in Win10.

As far as the scanline doubling, lemme drag my butt out of bed and hook up my PS1. I'll edit the post with my findings.

[Edit] Ok, so directly in the program's own INI there is a setting called "iDouble", but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Well i guess it is a beta release, but still seems odd why they would remove features

TBH I haven't had any luck getting this to run on Win7 at all. Always freezes once the window of it loads.

Lack of rotation options makes it damn near useless to me, I've used it quite a bit to get properly viewable recordings of vert PCB gameplay and such. Hopefully it gets put back in.

You have to set the language parameter in the INI file to 0. Same as how someone earlier in the thread got it to work on Windows 10. Regardless, it's pretty useless like everyone says. Still shows how fugly the picture is on my capture card when playing William's Arcade Classics on PS1. :P

I was excited to see awesome new features and instead am greeted with the grim truth in this thread, hah.

How do you guys configure AmaRecTV? I've only messed with it for composite and S-video input and, I dunno, guess I am using the default codec that came with it. Is there a preferred better way to set it up?

It's a pretty simple setup once you're familiar with the menus and its features, I suggest giving this a read up. For video codecs x264 is the way to go, with it be sure to configure it with fast decode, zero latency.

I'll load up my old presets, and see how that goes with the line doubling.

[Edit] Yeah, no. Version 4 gives me an error when i load up my TATE preset. It also surprisingly crashes completely if I try to select audio for my Dazzle DVC101.
