FCP capture issues...

[HeXman]

hey guys,

I'm trying to capture the VGA feed from the graphics card of a PC computer, but the VGA to HDMI cable seems to not work. I have a Black Magic Decklink HD Extreme installed on my Mac Pro computer and I currently have Final Cut Pro 6 and Final Cut X installed on my Mac.

What I have done so far is connect a VGA to HDMI cable from the PC graphics card (using a VGA splitter) and then connect it to my Mac's black magic decklink extreme HDMI port.

What I want to be able to do is to record the video signal from the PC directly into FCP.... anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks in advance

Eh- why bother with all that madness. Just get Camtasia for the PC and record it directly.

I know I can do that, but I need to be able to record things like the BIOS setup, MS-DOS commands etc
