im just curious what you guys use. ive heard of adaptec's gamebridge, but id have to use my pc monitor and would rather not. i would hate to go from a 37" to a 19" lcd. suggestions, besides purchasing a new vid card?

You'll have to be more specific.

If the question is "How do I record video of my PC gameplay and then show it off on the internet?" then the answer is very simple: Fraps.

If the question is "How do I record video of my Console gameplay and then show it off on the internet?" then the answer is: You most likely can't.

Consoles typically record in some proprietary format which you would have to know and write a conversion for to some PC format. Then you would have to be allowed to pull the data form the console to the PC.

I think this is doable on an original XBox and possibly PS2, but AFAIK no one has yet written a recrypter for 360.

PS: This is why Im only posting screenies and not video.
The minute you find out how to pull replays off a 360 and convert them to a PC format let me know cuz Ill start pumping out drifting videos.

I didnt even make it past "adeptec gamebridge" in your post. worst 20 bux I ever spent. It never really did work for me kep interfering with my vid card. I eventaully gave it away.

best way to record games as you play (on pc) is a program called fraps if you check out my vids on youtube user rjn72uk ive a few posted i made with fraps

traintech86 · 07-09-2009, 03:31 AM

my roomate bought a device that you plug in between the ps3(or any console really) and it basicly is a y spliter to your pc via usb. i guess it lets you record to the pc and still play on your tv. ill ask him in the morn

Get a tv tuner card with AV inputs. Then use any video capture program.

the problem with this is that it will create latency between the controller and the tv, also you'd be playing on a computer screen, unless you had the pc use the tv as a monitor, creating more lag. for games like the sims this might be acceptable.

Dazzle Video Creator Plus makes DVD burning and DVD recording simple and easy

my room mate uses this and i think he has a spliter to split the cables going to the tv. so the ps3 still plus into the tv and the signal is just duped. he then sends the dupped signal to the pc.

The latency issue is NOT that bad, even for my computer (P4, 3gb Ram, 512 MB AGP video card) Anything even remotely better would have virtually no latency, especially if you got a PCI express TV tuner card (Not sure if those exist).

traintech86 · 07-12-2009, 04:45 AM

i am sure they have the pci-e ones. as for the lag, it all depends on the game. not a chance in hell would i play any FPS/RTS or any game where time plays a factor. if you're doing machinima or something then its no big deal. i am sure if you set it up with spliters you could use the desktop to capture and also play on your tv lag free!

Dude, I play through my PCI TV Tuner card ALL the time. Before I had my new monitor I ran my xbox 360 through it, I run my PS2/SNES/N64/NES through my monitor and there is very little lag. It actually doesn't lag at all unless I'm multi-tasking, and then it starts to lag, but if DScaler is the only program open there is 0 lag what-so-ever.

Deal with it when you want to record something.... duh.

auto · 07-16-2009, 11:25 AM

You could buy a VGA cable (M-to-M) run it from your comp to your TV and then duplicate the screens where you could still play on your TV....but it'd still show on your monitor. I do it for movies.

rjn72uk · 07-18-2009, 09:16 AM

i use 2 x gforce 8800 gtx 768meg gfx cards in sli mode and fraps records with no effect on anything only issue is the record files can get very large if u record alot of time so i have it recording to a extern 1tb hdd as for recording consoles im unsure how u would go about it unless u clone the tv to the pc using network then run fraps on pc

YouTube - Entropia Universe01 EU Loot and how far...

1 of mine i made oh u could always film the tv with a cam corder lcd/plasma dont flicker when filmed now
