I'm confused. Is there a reason why you can't export the video file directly, instead of trying to capture it off the HDMI out?
If you have a computer you have another option. An app on your computer, like Reflector, will let you AirPlay to your computer, and it has a record feature.
I can't advise on using the HDMI adaptor. I don't have experience with it.
