    Video Capture on Consoles

    Now I am sure I could just set up my video camera in front of the tv and that would work, but obviously that is ghetto. What I would like to do is make videos of my gameplay on all of my systems (Wii, PS2, 360) so I can view or share them.
    I have seen these on people's personal websites and/or blogs so I know it can be done. Can someone point me in the right direction or show me a site where I could get one?
    A short explanation of how to work it would be great too.
    Thanks guys.

    TV tuner would be the simplest.

    This one looks pretty decent: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... CatId=1427

    Its simple, install it, pop the coaxial or svid in from the system and watch it play on your monitor.

    Use a VCR. Also put the recording settings to SP. You won't get as much recordage (maybe 2hrs on a standard VHS) but the quality is pretty good! You won't even have to use the tracking that much to adjust it when watching at a friend's house either.

    Wait, more detail please, how do I do this with a VCR?

    And Seph - The system needs to have a coaxial input to make it work? I never saw one of those on the PS2, etc.

    Sorry guys, I'm a noob at this

    That card supports svid, coaxial and composite/rca, so it should work for you. Looks like that one does audio too.
