Recording VGA or DVI signal using Windows Media Encoder

Even though the VGA2USB/DVI2USB series of devices come with a native program that is able to record the captured output as video, all video capture software that is compatible with external USB cameras can capture from the VGA2USB/DVI2USB as these devices are recognized by Windows as high-resolution video cameras. This tutorial will walk through the recording process using WM Encoder 9 Series.

Step 1: Connect VGA2USB/DVI2USB device and start Windows Media Encoder.
