How can you record video game play from your TV with a video camera?




Bueller


I don't want to actually record the screen cuz that makes it all fuzzy and I want to be able to transfer the video to a video sharing site like Youtube? Can you help? 10 points to best answer!


Answer
This is a toughie! The problem is, your video camera samples at a consistent rate, and the TV refreshes at a consistent rate. So what you get is called a "beat frequency" - kind of like looking at a fan going really fast when it looks like it's moving slowly.

There are two ways to get rid of the line:

1) Some cameras have randomizers to enable videotaping a TV screen like this, to eliminate the beat frequency, or

2) Adjust your video camera's sample rate (or screen's refresh rate) until you get an acceptable picture. It's really hard to get it to STOP, it's easier to set them to be very different and minimize interference that way.

Hope this helps!

A Good Video Camera To Record Video Games With ?




Dan


Alright I would like to do a gaming walkthrough for Youtube and I need a good camera that records T.V. decently and is see-able and has good audio. I can spend around 150-160 on a camera but It needs to work with a 1997 Dell :o.

Please make sure you know what your talking about please, don't just put random cameras that you have no clue about. Just make sure It can record off a 28' inch tv and picks up audio good.

-Thanks!



Answer
you could pick any cheap cameras and split the signal from your console to run to your tv and camera and record off it. you could also add in a mic to record sound simultaneously
