Well I installed Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro. I partitioned 40GB and after all the Windows stuff and updates I only have 13.7GB left. I bought an XSplit License for 12 months. Tested it, works great! So I got the Windows going. I pretty much will only use it for streaming now and 3DS stuff whenever I get it. So I pretty much got my problems solved but it would still be great if someone gets it working for Mac so I won't have to be juggling recordings from 3DS in the 13.7GB I have. By the way, how big is the file for let's say an hour of 3DS recording approximately?

It depends on Codec.
On such a low amount of space, I recommend you to use Xvid as a Codec.
My iMac's Windows partition is also 40 GB, of which only 3 GB is left all the time, so I need to delete my Videos, as soon as they're Uploaded.

Can't you make it so the 3DS capture program can save its recording on the Mac partition? Pretty sure with the latest update, the programs remembers where you set the directory to save the recordings, so you really don't need to worry about space.

As for how big a file is after recording, it depends on the codec you are using. Also might depend on what is being recorded. If you're using Lagarith, it'll take a lot of space, if you're using something like Xvid, it'll take less. An hour and 24 minutes of OoT 3D recorded through Xvid for me is 1.39 GB.

It can't, Windows can't write to HFS+ formatted Hard Disks.
99% chance, that OS X partitions are HFS+, like 99% chance that Windows partitions are NTFS.

So what extension will the recording have if I use XVid? .mp4? .mov? It better be one of those so my Mac side can read it and do some editing.

Every captured video is .AVI.

Use this App to turn AVI's into MP4's.
It works great, and it's even better on a Mac, than on Windows.

I just found out that the capture board doesn't record audio. I saw that you needed this headphone thin that goes into the line in. Problem is my MacBook Pro doesn't have a line in port. I also read that loopy was planning to update the program to capture audio. I really don't need the capture board right now though.

Same here! I cannot use the device with my computer due to the missing line in port. :( Can't wait for the update.

Actually, all MacBook Pro's have a Line-In and Line-Out Port, the 13" Version has it combined into 1 Port, which is yet again strange for Windows.
That's why it won't work, as Apple never made any Drivers for this on Windows.
