A no-frills recording tool for the Roxio GameCap HD PRO.
The Roxio GameCap HD PRO is a great bit of kit, capable of taking an HDMI or Component input (up to 1080p30), performing H264 encoding in hardware, and passing the encoded stream to a PC via USB for writing to disk and/or livestreaming to Twitch.tv, all at a very reasonable price.
Unfortunately the device is only compatible with the bundled software, which is a crash-prone resource hog. This has left myself and many other owners feeling like they've bought a turkey.
This tool aims to be a lightweight and reliable replacement for the bundled software.
- Preview decoded capture stream
- Record capture stream to an M2TS file on disk
- Only supports HDMI 1080p input
- Manual configuration of recording directory
- User-friendly recording configuration
- Livestream to Twitch.tv
- Disable preview during record/livestream (to save CPU)
- Record and livestream simultaneously

- The bundled software and drivers must be installed, but it is not necessary to have the bundled capture software running whilst using this tool.
- RoxioGameCap.exe.config must be configured manually. Change the contents of the
<value>node under<RoxioGameCap.Properties.Settings>to the directory you wish to save your recordings to. Remember to use double-slashes in the path as well as a trailing double-slash.
