How can I record video games to my mac without using a video camera?




Mark


Please do not tell me to purchase Eyetv, Eyetv only lets you use your mac as a screen for when you play video games, it does not record the game.


Answer
If the game you are playing is on your Mac, then you need a screen capture utility...

Some do single screen shots - which you do not want. Others end up capturing QuickTime movies of the screen - which is what you want...

Or... if you have a game console, you will want three "y" cables... 1 for video, one for left audio, one for right audio.

Plug the "y" cables into the game console. One side goes to the TV like normal, the other side goes to a Canopus video converter

Then a firewire cable connects the Canopus video converter to your Mac. Launch iMovie or FinalCut and import the game play...

USB based video converters will not work.

What is the best camera to record video games with that's fairly cheap?

I record some videos for youtube like Monster Hunter Tri hunts and my camera doesnt have great video or sound quality. So I am just seeing if there is a better camera for me to use if anyone knows of one.
My current camera is a HD SONY Bloggie, and the HD barley works....



Answer
there really isn't a good video camera to record video games. the best thing to do is use a capture card. there is a dazzle dvd recorder that costs like fifty dollars. if you have a HDTV and play on it, you gott a get hd pvr, the best capture card but costs 200 dollars.
