    so i heard that it is possible to record your tv screen with a camcorder. And no not recording the screen on a tripod, but plugging the camcorder into the back of the tv and recording it from there. is this possible and if so how is it done. I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Yeah, if you have the right cables that connects directly to your tv, it will work. Check though, they might have come with the camcorder when you first bought it.

    Search around through your cables and read the instructions, maybe you'll find something there.

    I know how. It doesn't work on most high def tvs, but on ones a few years older. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRUsfZpZBkQ
    Sucks for me because I searched for DAYS on how to do this with a cam corder, and my hd tv doesn't have output things. My tv upstairs does, but **** i'm not going to move my xbox halfway across my house.
