Raw

Required software

FFmpeg

Required for all methods, you must install this to encode or capture any video.

  1. Download ffmpeg from here. Use numerical version (like 4.0.2), 64-bit, and Static.
  2. Extract the files from ffmpeg-xxxxxx-win64-static/bin to C:\bin\ffmpeg. You should have C:\bin\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe now.
  3. In the start menu, search for environment variables and choose "Edit the system environment variables".
  4. Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom of this window.
  5. Under System Variables, find Path and double click it.
  6. Click New on the right, and enter C:\bin\ffmpeg
  7. Press OK on all windows to close them.
  8. Done! Now you can use ffmpeg from the command prompt or powershell anyhwere on your system.

Avidemux

Great to have, easy software to cut your video after capturing Download and install from http://avidemux.sourceforge.net. Use the win64 build

AmaRecTV and HuffYUV

Great alternative capture software. Only required for methods 2 and 3. This only records in raw AVI and does not do any encoding. FFmpeg is required to encode or deinterlace your video. I also reccomend installing the HuffYUV codec as it reduces the disk space required to record raw AVI.

  1. Download AmaRecTV from http://www.amarectv.com and extract it to a folder of your choice.
  2. Download the HuffYUV codec from here and extract the 2 files to C:\huffyuv64
  3. In the start menu, search for powershell then right click it and Run as administrator.
  4. Run cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
  5. Run rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 C:\huffyuv64\huffyuv.inf to install HuffYUV
  6. Run AmaRecTV.exe then press the first button at the top for Config.
  7. Under General, change the folder you want to record to.
  8. Under Graph 1(Device) select your video and audio capture device. Use 720x480, YUY2, and 29.97 fps
  9. Under Graph 2(Preview) select 4:3 aspect ratio and "Not use" for deinterlacing
  10. Under recording, click "Other Codec" and "Update Codec List". Then select HFYU from the list.
  11. Click OK to close.

AviSynth+ and QTGMC
