Note 2 MHL-HDMI quick question

I started searching google for this answer but all i got was TV.. TV and TV.
So... i want to connect my Note 2 to my PC via a MHL-HDMI (you read right.. it's PC, not Monitor or TV).. so the cable would go in my video card which has HDMI (hdcp capable).
Is it possible ? Dose it work ? anyone tried it ?

The purpose of this is so i can capture the video output of the phone (record it.. re-stream it online, etc).

Would really appreciate an answer. Many thanks.
 
I won't say I am positive, but pretty sure the HDMI is only an out on the video card. It's not meant to receive data. Video cards are meant to put out displayed data to a screen

There are video capture cards with HDMI input. I think it won't capture copyrighted materials.

So for OP, it probably won't work. If you are just playing a video recorded with the phone, it may work, but it would be easier just copy the file out to the PC instead of doing a video capture in real time. If you are trying to capture Netflix or HBO Go or other streaming video... it will probably put out copyrighted signals and your video card capture won't work...
 
@Icneed - no interested in video playback, I have a PC .. I really don't need a phone for that..

I want to capture the same video output the phone would do if it was a tv. For example... if i would like to make a tutorial, or record when I'm playing a game, etc.
 
Hi

I have not tried it but maybe " no root screen recorder" from playstore. Others if you are rooted.

so apparently consumer grade video cards don't have HDMI input, only output. So this wouldn't work.

I would need a video capturing card with HDMI input to connect the phone through MHL-HDMI.
Hope this helps anyone else looking for this. At least know I know what I need now.
