Recording games.

If this need to to be moved somewhere else because it dose not belong, or there is similar topic please move or lock this.

 

Ive really got a urge to start posting videos of my self playing FPS games on youtube. (MW2, BC2, ect...) However I have no idea where to start :unsure:

if someone could possibly post some info of things I will need to do this, I would be most grateful.

What platform? PC, 360, PS3 or a different console?

 

PC is relatively easy because there a lot of free programs that let you record things (though you'll notice some lag when doing it), on consoles it depends which one you have, you need extra capture cards and suchlike to do it.

[Albel]

Oh yes, forgive. I play on the 360.

You will need a capture card such as a Dazzle to record from a console. They vary in quality, to play and record in HD you will need a HD PVR or something similar, which is expensive. I would like to record some of the funny crap I see on MW2 but I don't want to have to play in SD, and I don't want to shell out for a HD PVR lol.

Im not too worried about money. I am willing to spend up to 250$ for this.

Don't waste your money. You wont get thousands of people watching your videos anyway, trust me just don't waste the cash.

I can say the same for your deviantART page. I dont think you do it so that thousands of people will look at your art. I would do for fun and to get tips from the people that do watch.

...How do you think all these people who get thousands and thousands of views started out? Hell, I remember watching a guy on YouTube who plays MW2 and recorded videos and did commentaries. He started from nothing, and now he has his dream job working for Machinima.com. Not everyone will end up hugely successful, but that's not always the point.

That is true. I am aware of this, but still Im not looking to do this for the soul purpose of becoming famous at a video game. I want to do it because I enjoy it, because new friends can be made, and I can also improve my gameplay as well. If I have to spend a little money for it then I am willing to do this.

I record my game play to see where my weakness is and how I can improve. I am doing pretty good in Combat Arms with the G36e :).

You might try looking into something like This.

I just spent $210 on a Hauppauge HD PVR, and it is amazing! Check out my quality, and watch it in 1080P! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVOpMLHQeDg

Be positive, I thought that too, and now each of my videos gets like 10k views, everyone starts out somewhere, and who knows, you might be the next Fred of xbox.

Reguardless what he post is nothing to me. However, this is exactly what I am looking for 3PM, thanks so much :thumbup:

[Dizzle229]

I use a Dazzle, and if you're not worried about money, I would say buy an HD card. I luvz mah dazzle, but its annoying having to switch to SD, so if you want ot just pop it in and use it I'd go with the one 3PM recommended.
