Archos 7 & Docking Station Help!

Post by nyk »

Hi guys!

I've scoured the forum with regards to the question I am going to ask; but I'm still in a small pickle.

I'm trying to record from my Xbox 360 and PS3.
I initially wanted to record at 720p through the component input on the docking station, but I've learned that my Archos 7 cannot record at 720p.

I tried to record at 480p through component, and using phono-splitters from the TV to the dock (similar as to record with a Dazzle DVD recorder); The quality of the video wasn't bad, but was split into 2:

I've also tried to record in standard definition through composite, the 360 can output at both 50hz & 60hz.
But the game I am trying to record only runs on 60hz; which leaves me with a video like this:

I think I'm right in assuming that the Archos will not record in 60hz?
I had a similar problem recording onto my laptop through the Dazzle and had to trick it into thinking it was recording a 50hz signal through a program.

So my question: Is there anyway to get the Archos to record at 60hz?
I hope you can help me!

If you need any more information let me know!
Thank you in advanced.

The Archos records interlaced (480i), so use the composite connection from the Xbox.

I've tried that and I get a black and white screen. =\

I'll give it a try using the phono splitters, but I'm not holding much hope!

Set NTSC/PAL on IMT7 to match the Xbox.

Don't know if you ever figured this one out or not but i was just having the same problem...i was trying to hook my archos to the component output of my sat box....the channel was a HD signal 720p...i just pushed the signal quality on the front of the box to a 480i and the double pic went back to one
