looking to capture some video/audio from the original XBOX

how can I do this relatively easily? I have a desktop and a laptop both running XP. I would be recording from a regular CRT TV, so I don't need HD or anything like that.

looking to buy on Amazon cause I have Prime, so if you have any links to there it would be much appreciated

kthx

I was gonna put "inb4VCR" or "inb4VHS"

but I didn't want to keep anyone from having their moment in the sun

1/28/2013 6:48:46 PM

I guess I could find a decent emulator

anyone know a good arcade emulator

I looked for a MAME UI but I can't ever find a working one for some reason

I probably just don't know what I'm doing :3

TrollFace would be a good one

this should help:

1/28/2013 6:54:39 PM

why don't you go use your gun that you own

You should be able to connect your Xbox and laptop on the same power outlet while connecting your laptop up to the TV while you play. As you play a file will automatically be created in your C drive called Untitled.avi

1/28/2013 6:55:16 PM

shouldn't you have been like 100k like 2 years ago?

How do you not know about this?

thanks for your help

The only problem with it is that the video file is uncompressed, leading to large file sizes. This is why many people use devices, because they can compress on the fly.

someone on IGN suggested these, but hasn't gone into any detail about it yet

This is what I use, but I'm using a PS3 and an HDTV. It also comes with a decent editing software that is bundled with the recording software for convenience. Pretty good quality for what I need IMO.

That being said, you are using a crt tv so I'd go with either of those, but the second looks extremely cheap to me.

^if I bought this one:

what other cables might I need to get what I want?

i.e. what exactly do I need to do to record through the regular XBOX

1/29/2013 9:39:33 AM

what makes you think people want to see your "viva pinata" gameplay vids in the first place? :3

1/29/2013 9:42:05 AM

How is it possible for someone to NOT know how to do this?

1/29/2013 3:21:32 PM

Mine is completely different because I have cables running from the console to the capture card, then to the tv, but this one only has one input.

http://www.thehaloforum.com/montage-video-help/67309-how-hook-up-360-capture-card.html

They do a decent job of describing what needs to happen with that capture card and even offer really crappy paint drawings to help explain. This should work for the one you want to buy, unless I'm mistaken.

Also you can check out these videos, guy is just using a different brand of capture card, but its the same thing:

And this link offers more explanation, and a guy actually has an easycap in this thread:

cause I've.. never done it?

would this one work for me?


I figured out my video inputs on the TV

I have three red white yellow A/V inputs, S-video, and green/blue/red inputs (component video?)

I also have an audio in (red/white) which I've been able to hook up to speakers

if you guys know of something relatively cheap, or that one I linked would be fine if I knew it could do what I wanted (which I'm assuming it can)

Look at your life. Look at your choices.

They have names like Dazzle and Hauppauge; also you should get a new desktop soon while you can still get Windows 7.

what's a good desktop to get? :3
