Ok Moogle, I finally got my HDTV with the HDMI cables needed. Now, I get video AND sound when I use the Blackmagic Media Express, no issues there. But I can't see anything on my TV as far as the game goes. When I go to HDMI 3 (where it is plugged into), I get Not Supported on the screen. Also, no video or sound in FME. HDMI 3 from TV is going into the Output for BMIP and the 360 HDMI is going into the Output for BMIP. For control panel settings, I put it on: Set Output: HDMI Set Input: HDMI A/V USA dot checked/filled in, not Japan, of course box below it checked other two options, set to Off Man, I really need to learn how to post a screen cap huh? lol Anywho, any ideas as to what I made need to do/get next?

You need the input processing to be [720p or 1080i, be sure it's set on your console] HD to SD anamorphic if you want it to show up on FMLE. For 720p, it must be set in Media Express preferences. Video Format: HD 720p 60, or HD 1080i 50. I'm pretty sure I told you that you CANNOT get audio with the blackmagic intensity pro if you're planning to broadcast. ONLY if you are going to use Media Express and record your games to your hard drive. If you want sound you may need to use component cables and direct the red/white audio cables into an adapter that plugs into your sound card. (1/8" stereo to dual rca adapter, like this: img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/5/8/0/224580.jpg. mine labels which one is white and red) If you're looking to use a mic as well, you'll probably want to be buying an audio mixer instead. I've seen uleet (http://gaming.justin.tv/ulirocks) and he said that he got the audio from HDMI working for broadcasting, but he didn't give me any helpful details. He just said he got it working.

Actually, that's the thing, I did everything in that HDMI tutorial and I came up blank on the FME part. When you say change the settings on my console, you mean under the 360's system settings? I also have that analog audio adapter for the xbox in that HDMI tutorial and I do own a Behringer Mixer. I'm just not so sure where to plug the analog end into and then what to get to plug into the PC. I assume something that goes into the Mic slot.

It definitely had something to do with your 360 settings then. You're using Multi Cam Studio right? Even if you aren't make sure Frame Rate is 29.97 (VERY IMPORTANT) and resolution is 1280x720 on Multi Cam Studio.

Well, I dunno. My 360 was already on 720P and I have the resolution/frame rate set to those on multicam. Still, no video at all in that or FME, but all is still well in the media express. And still not able to see the game on my TV.

Try setting the input processing to SD anamorphic, then try selecting BMIP in FMLE and tell me if it works.
Input size: 720x486 Frame Rate: 29.97
And you will not get video on your TV until you get video on your PC. That's one bad thing about the BMIP: The BMIP is software dependent.

OMG, Amazing! I....see....video! That anamorphic thing worked I guess, I can see video in FME finally. And I have some sort of Red+White cord that is going from my Analog Audio Adapter that came with my Elite plugged into my front mic slot...and I get sound too! However, I do need to figure out how to hook that into my Mixer and where my Mic would go (once I get one that is), but that is tremendous progress for now I think, thanks a bunch for that. ;D However, it doesn't quite look as I expected it to (as far as quality goes), hopefully not because I had to select that anamorphic setting to do so. But maybe I'm just expecting more than I should be lol. What is the big difference in VP6 and H.264? Is VP for low and H for high? I know H.264 is recommended, but not sure what my "specs" or speed should be before trying to do it. Guess I'll mostly have to just play around with it. How do you have your audio set up for your mixer?

VP6 isn't that great IMO, good for retaining the picture (like being able to read the small text on WoW), but overall H.264 is better for super HQ streams. Yes the quality is because you have anamorphic on. If you want HD quality, you're going to have to get your Multi Cam method working, and make sure anamorphic is turned off. All my sounds are directed into my sound card and I'm using the stereo mix option which records everything played on my computer.

I figured as much, oh well. It doesn't look half bad for now, I guess. But I really would like to know just why it refuses to work for me when it apparently works for others. Your settings are exactly as detailed in that tutorial too? Do you think my RAM will end up having any effect on my streaming for this card? I only have 2GB's and the site says that 4GB is the 'standard' for it with Vista. I still don't want to give up on that original setup for this card, I bet there is just one simple thing I'm missing and I'm going to have a major facepalm moment pretty soon I imagine.

Lot's of trial and error bro, don't give up. Eventually you'll find the problem and yes I've had many facepalm moments with my card.
