Encoder a hdmi input
- Does somebody has some good tips for me, to record a hdmi signal ? I just bought the Blackmagic Intensity card, but after installing the driver, it's not working and not supported by Expression Encoder ... Why ? I don' t know, and I don't understand it ... .
So,
1. Does somebody knows a good software to encoder my hdmi signal to wmv ?
2. What's the reason it works with Adobe Premiere, but not with Expression Encoder ? Is the problem my card, or the software ?

- I would say that they wont support it because if they did it would violate copyrights.
if you could encode the stream from an HDMI interface you could connect a blue ray or a cable box to it and record HD content. Micosoft would be sued to high heaven. - 1) I don't think that is the reason. Their is all kinds of ways to copy stuff, hdmi is not a special case. However, I have the same question. I want to output hdmi from a camera and broadcast live using encoder. So I was going to post the same question.
2) OT, but does anyone know if the the Flip video camera (or others) output live hdmi (i.e. bypassing the recording). I know the flip has hdmi output and it says it can't record when hdmi is connected, but can it send the live camera down the hdmi? - Expression Encoder 2 SP1 with the Blackmagic Entensity card is not compatible. It doens't work. So what I did is wrote my own WPF program with the DataStead SDK ... and that works very fine :) . So now I can record my hdmi output of my camera :)

That is interesting. I wonder if you could read the pipeline via DataStead sdk and write to iis streaming endpoint via Encoder sdk? Naturally, the easier solution is just get a hdmi card that Encoder can work with. Anyone have one working with Encoder? Also, as a side question, anyone know if these small video camerias (i.e. Flip, Creative labs) outputs live (not recorded) via their hdmi interface? tia - No in the DataStead SDK there also functionalities to connect to a publishing point on your IIS.
Maybe Encoder 3 is compatible with the blackmagic card ... if the version 3 will be released soon, I will try it
