    I am looking for a capture card, however, I don't know what to get. If somebody could direct me to a place like amazon.com or bestbuy.com or something, I would appreciate it. The only reason I don't go myself is because, I don't know what I'm looking for. I want to be able to record games on my xbox, but I have a Windows Vista, so the Dazzle DVC 90 in the Tutorial won't work.

    It all depends on your system specs and what you're really looking for. You might want an actual capture card, which goes inside of your computer, or you might just need a capture device, like the Dazzle DVC 90 (which I do realize won't work for you). If you want true HD quality videos, you'll probably want a capture card, and depending on the one you get, most likely a component to HDMI converter.

    Also, please specify the type of budget you have, because there are high end product lines like Blackmagic that you may want to consider getting.

    I use a simple VHS to USB converter I had lying around, it was something my parents had for converting old tapes to the DVDs through the computer, and it works just fine for capturing gameplay. I'm not too picky about it.
