| Oooh look at blob 4 :) | Recording 360 GameplayAnyone got any experience of this? Been doing my research, seems there's two options: i) Get a digital camcorder with a tripod and record off the TV screen ii) More complicated, but more stable, by the looks of things: Matt Brett » How-To: Capture Xbox 360 Video Footage on an iMac Just wondering if anyone's dabbled in this before as it's something I'd like set up for an inter-form CoD4 tournament in school Cheers

| WooHoo I bagged a Wii Fit | Re: Recording 360 GameplayI think tivo is only available in the US though. But yes it should be possible to watch as well as record. It would work the same way as recording TV. Plug the xbox output into the recorder and the recorder output into the tv. So long as the TV is viewing the recorder input you should see what is on the xbox. I just tried it with my PS3 and it works so it should with the xbox. |

| Oooh look at blob 4 :) | Re: Recording 360 GameplayI like the look of this because you can still play it on your HDTV (as normal, no lag) as well as recording on your computer. Except it needs a router, and there isn't a router anywhere near my form room in school! Need something like that DRV box I posted above, but I'm not 100% that'd work with the 360 - otherwise I'd have imagined people would've done that rather than messing around with the more complex solutions.

| WooHoo I bagged a Wii Fit | Re: Recording 360 GameplayIts a Samsung DVD-HR730. Its not HD, neither is my TV which is actually pretty crap for gaming. I've uploaded a test to megaupload here. This actually looks a bit better than it did on my TV. Guess what I'll be working on for my next freebie. |

| Oooh look at blob 4 :) | Re: Recording 360 GameplayI think that quality's really good! No sound though? How much did you pay for that recorder? Not in stock on Amazon

Have you asked your teachers if this is ok with them yet? I know when we tried something similiar to this when I was in school they were iffy with it as the game was 16+ rated (like CoD4). Also as it involves killing, I doubt they'd allow it. Unless of course it's taking place outside of school? Also, you may find that connecting it through a dvd/vcr recorder or a TV card may introduce the tiniest bit of lag which is enough to effect anyone's performance. Make sure you find something that is certified as zero-latency. | |

The lag is something I've thought of... have you had any troubles with it -0707-?

| Green is my fav colour! | Re: Recording 360 GameplaySimply plug the output of your 360 into a DVD recorder and then plug the output of the DVD recorder into a TV so you can play and record. When you get the finished DVD just pop it into a PC and convert it to a handy format for easy storage. Easy as pie |

| WooHoo I bagged a Wii Fit | Re: Recording 360 GameplayWhat adam said was what I was doing basically, just recording it the the HD then transferring to DVD so I could transfer to my PC. There also should have been sound with it, it may be out of sync or I possibly didn't have the set up right when I converted it to avi but the DVD does have the sound. As for lag tbh I never really noticed any but I wasn't really looking for it either. Also I got the DVD recorder about a year ago when it was on offer on play.com. I think it may be an older model although not 100% sure about that. If you want advice for DVD recorders etc check this site http://www.avforums.com/, they may be able to help or someone may already have tried it. |

![]() | Re: Recording 360 GameplayJust a quick question, when you record the video from the 360 and its burning on to a DVD, what format is the video in on the DVD when you pop it in a PC?

btw i dont know if anyones mentioned this but if you have a ordinary tv tuner in your computer with that yellow componant connector you can use it to record footage although it will be in standard def. Mine does but i havent tryed recording footage yet.
