HOW TO RECORD VIDEO GAMES TO YOUR COMPUTER

Well, after many, many of you asking me, I finally got some time to put together this video.

This is how I record all of my gameplay to my computer so that I can upload it to the internet!

This is the USB to RCA device I use: Dazzle DVD Recorder

I also have a ADVC110 A/d Converter because it runs on FireWire, and it compatible with my MacBook Pro!

It’s a pretty simple set-up. Let me know if you have any questions about it. Also, what games do you plan on recording? What game do you want me to do a tutorial on next?

PS. VIDDLER RULES!

hahahah. well i guess i’ll just have to do them for you!

✭ l4anyrat on August 23, 2008 at 10:11 PM.
Okay, I was installing it but a pop-up came up saying it could damage my PC.So, I canceled it. But is your PC working the same as it was before you installed Super Webcam?

✭ wierdboo106 on August 25, 2008 at 7:51 AM.
So it’s completely safe for Windows XP?

✭ wierdboo106 on August 25, 2008 at 8:48 AM.
it was safe for me!

✭ l4anyrat on August 25, 2008 at 2:24 PM.
I don’t have a webcam, so I chose the Dazzle’s audio source, but for some reason, WMM didn’t record the audio.

✭ wierdboo106 on August 26, 2008 at 6:51 AM.
So, if I don’t want the picture in picture, or the text scrolling; I don’t need the webcam or the software from the website, right?

✭ imhamsterboy on August 27, 2008 at 6:20 PM.
correct

✭ l4anyrat on August 27, 2008 at 11:15 PM.

✭ Shane on May 26, 2009 at 6:20 PM.
It’s just a $3 radio shack splitter. Nothing Special

✭ lanevids on May 26, 2009 at 7:51 PM.
Hey Lane I Was Just Wondering Since im only 11 could u tell me homuch it would cost and is this the easiest way to do this 4 a little guy like me

✭ KHSoraLink on October 8, 2009 at 11:35 AM.
Hey! You should be able to do this even if you are only 11. I know that I was recording my videos games to a VCR (before the internet) when I was about 11. What will this cost you. Well, the most expensive thing is the Dazzle Device which you can probably find for about $50. The cords you might already have some of these that are hooked up to your TV or with some other electronic devices. Usually you get cords when you buy new electronics. They are just RCA cables. The splitters are about $3 a piece. Comment back if you need more help.

✭ l4anyrat on January 29, 2010 at 8:13 PM.

✭ l4anyrat on January 29, 2010 at 8:13 PM.

✭ BoomBrush on January 29, 2010 at 8:23 PM.
