You may want to record from your video game console for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you want to record a video of a match you play online, create a video walkthrough for YouTube, or save game cinematics for future viewing. Regardless of content, recording from a game console requires only a few inexpensive items. In addition to your computer, television and game console, you'll need a Dazzle video recorder, an AV cable and an S-video cable.
Plug one end of the S-video cable into your video game console, and the other end into your television inputs.
Connect one end of the AV cable into your television outputs, and the other end into the Dazzle inputs.
Connect Dazzle to your PC via a USB port.
Connect your system
On your PC, open the "Studio 10" software included with Dazzle. In the menu under "Video input" select the "S-Video" option. Click the "Capture Source" tab in the setup options and make sure that the audio and visual options for "Capture Devices" show "Dazzle DVC170."
Watch the preview screen on your PC as you play your gaming console. You should see and hear the same video and audio that is on your television. In the setup options, under the video and audio tab, check the "Enable full resolution video" box to view in the highest resolution.
Click the "Start Capture" button on your PC software to begin recording. You can experiment with formats under the "Capture Format" tab, which include DivX, MPEG-4 and MPEG-1/2.
