I have a capture card, but.....

Buy extremely long cables.

 

move your xbox to your computer and plug it all in to your computer and just use the monitor as your tv when you want to record. i did this for my first montage. but then i found that it is much easier to just bring the whole set-up to the computer.

you really should have thought that one out before you bought it.

 

How I mine for fish?

Seriously, use a bit of common sense. Your Xbox 360 must be connected to your computer via your capture card. You have 2 solutions:

1) Move your computer or Xbox to be closer to the other.
But you don't want to move stuff, that's fine, it can be a hassle rewiring things.

2) Get some really long wires. Then the only problem you'll have is having to running up and down the stairs to press record on your computer... and getting the really long wires. The distance down the stairs alone will be a few meters, then you'll probably need the same length on either end to reach your Xbox and computer.

If you seriously want to film some footage from your Xbox then I would move your computer to the Xbox or vice versa. Its probably a lot more pratical than you may think than drapping wires through your house.

 

Use a laptop like me. Are you British?

 

good luck finding really long rc cables without spending more on the cables than the capture card.

 

Or you could just get a Hava wireless capture card.
The problem with having your XBOX far from your computer is that you'll have to run upstairs, press record on the computer, then go back downstairs and start playing.

 

I believe there isn't such a thing as a wireless Capture Card.

 

wait you can use a comp moniter for a screen!!!!!

omfg ****


ummm maybe you could use a laptop, or use really long cables to connect the two, and just edit out the time that it took you to play the stuff you wanted to record... good luck to ya m8

 

Only if you buy a VGA cable for the Xbox and then what are you meant to use for the computer? The whole problem is that he'll want to use the Xbox and the computer simultaneously and will therefore need 2 screens.

WHAT NOW!? Lol.

Anyways, back to the capture card... Yes, it is expensive, but it has GREAT HD quality. If you save it as a .mpeg4, upload to YouTube, and watch in high quality, it's absolutely flawless. As if watching your TV screen. Well, HDTV screen, of course.

 

I see... Plus that isn't really a "Capture Card" rather than a piece of technology that can record live TV, and with the right set up it can capture. And BTW, I can most likely get a quality similar to that device using my Dazzle* DVC 100 with .mp4 file type.

 

Doubt it. The quality isn't nearly as good.

 

Actually, if you just use your computers preview while recording...

 

or just get RC splitters. so you can use tv AND computer.
