Capturing video game footage direct from the TV is possible.
For serious video gamers, the option of recording video game footage off of the TV is an appealing one. Whether you want to document the big win, analyze play better or share your skills with your friends, a good digital recording of your video gaming is important. Using your VCR or pointing your camera at the television screen may not be good enough. A quality digital video camera will give you the high quality that you're looking for.
Instructions
1. Attach the splitter cable to the game console. Then attach the cable to both the television and the camcorder.
2. Begin recording on the camcorder and turn on the gaming system. Play your game and rest assured that the camcorder is recording the footage of the game simultaneously.
3. Stop recording when you have completed the game.
4. Transfer the digital files from your camcorder to your computer to download and burn to a DVD, or just label the tape and watch it from the camcorder when desired.
5. Use the microphone and your computer's video-creating software to add commentary to your video game footage.
