📦 What is MPV-SW-Capture?

MPV-SW-Capture is a setup based on mpv that lets you play through a capture card with low lag, while still being able to capture clean screenshots and short video clips when you need them.

It’s especially useful if you:

• Play consoles through a USB capture card (Switch, PS2, NSO, etc.).
• Want more control than typical capture software (shaders, bezels, crops).
• Prefer a lightweight, configurable solution.
