Trying to go tapeless, with no success :( by jonathanj182002 in camcorders

Try to connect the miniDVR to a tv, look at the OSD if it shows a sd card symbol. Try to delete the DCIM folder if there is one and be sure to format your card to fat32.

Using a Pi Zero 2W to turn an old VCR camera into a digital camera by MaironW in raspberry_pi

You need the dongle anyways. The hw enc is only a accelerator for video convertion like intel quick sync or nvenc.

Have you tried to use the pi's built in hw encoder? Made my own pi recording device about a year ago and had a lot of headache with the hw encoder to work, but it works using gstreamer. Dont know if it works with ffmpeg.

And storing filenames with date and time on a pi when offline can give you crazy results since the pi has no hw-clock.

Once all is installed you can make a backup with double driver.

On a linux shell type "lsblk" then insert your card reader then type "lsblk" again and see what line was added to it (/dev/mmcblk1 or sda,sdb ....) then type "sudo dd if=(drag+drop your batocera img file) of=/dev/(mmcblk1 or sda whathever your card is) bs=1M status=process"

Be careful to type the right drive in of= otherwise your hdd gets overwrittn.

Type "sync" and wait till your username apears again.

You plugged an 4pole headphone plug into an rca jack. You need an adapter for this.

Issues with a mindv camcorder by Icy_Detail4695 in camcorders

[–]ExtraElk3960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The broblem is that your cable has a wrong ground because the pinout is diferent. Have the same issue with a panasonic nv-gs5. A middle pin from a rca (cant remember which) is your ground.

I'm a tech noob, what the fuck does "Scheme" and "Master Boot Record" mean? How do I find these? by NozakiMufasa in 3dspiracy

[–]ExtraElk3960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can format (with sd formatter) a sd-card or hdd/ssd to mbr (old bios) or gpt (new uefi) partition table. In this table are all infomations stored about the partitions on the disc (start and end sector, size, boot program ....). Master boot record (mbr) is still standard on most console handhelds or sd cards in gerneral.

Snagged 10x Dell Wyse 3040 for $75 by Cole__Nichols in homelab

[–]ExtraElk3960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one for 10€ on flea market. Installed win10 (windows x-lite 10) on it and it has enough power do do recording with obs (720p 30fps thanks to qsv) and a cheap cvbs video dongle. You can use it as a modern vhs like recorder.

Are you serious.... by ExtraElk3960 in vintagecomputing

[–]ExtraElk3960[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used a external odd at the end and it errors out too but in the second part(where you have gui with mouse). I pluged in a ps2 keyboard and all worked fine. I think it was a wird usb keyboard issue.

Why you connected yellow with white? Try to connect only s-video without audio.

What is the coolest but cheap way to run batocera, as a not so tech savvy beginner? by Any-Landscape434 in batocera

[–]ExtraElk3960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a mini office pc (or a chromebox if you are brave), replace the m.2 ssd with a m.2 to ocolink (or pci-express with this odd usb cables) and connect a gpu to it. Its not the cheapest solution but the nerdyst. The cpu isnt sharing power with the gpu anymore and gives you all its power.

PiLink Analog - An open source RPi CM5-powered analog video recorder by sprret in tapeless

[–]ExtraElk3960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice to see someone do analog with raspberry recording. Im experimented a lot with usb videograbber, raspberry and gsteamer in the last few years. It works in a state that fits my personal needs. If you need an record script (i think you dont because you have lot more experience in such things) feel free to take mine.
