Ok guys, if you are interrested in making gaming videos, here are easy step-by-step instructions.

You will need a capture device, internal or external, for recording on your computer.

1. Take your ass to walmart and buy 3 A/V splitters ($3) that have 1 male and 2 female plugs and 1 A/V cable that has 3 male ends on each side: yellow, white, andred.($10)

2. Plug the male ends of the A/V cord from your XBOX into one of the female plugs of the splitters. (one splitter for yellow, 1 for white, one for red)

3. Take the extra A/V cable and plug one end into the splitters and one end into your capture device. Make sure you have all of the yellows in one splitter, whites in another and reds in the last one.

4. Plug the male-end of each splitter into your TV.

5. If your capture device is set up correctly your all set.

Thanks R3sp4wn for the information. I'm quite interested in making some gaming videos myself.

dazzle products are awesome, if youre gonna go big, go for the dazzle 150. if not, the dazzle 90 is great too.

If you don't want to spend alot of money, you can get an internal card for about $50; with the internal card, I recommend getting one from a store that actually builds or works on computers. They will be able to install it for you for extremely cheap if they even charge you at all. Brand names aren't really that big of a deal when it comes to internal. External on the other hand... go Dazzle. The 150 is key! but it will set you back atleast $150-$200.

Inernals are easier to set up, take up less space (because it is IN your pc), less costly, and don't require an extra power supply.

Externals are a pain to initially get going, require additional deskspace, more expensive, and need to be plugged into the wall for power.

Hope this helps you guys... good luck, lets see what you got!

I think Respawn should become the next moderater for this forum. He always posts, he tries to help people with things, and he always provides killer videos.

I just have a quick question. I am having trouble telling from a lack of knowlege, and a confusing discription. Is this the Dazzle 150 I'd want to buy?

So what would be the total cost of everything you would need, how much is a decent capture device
