Now I have a PC in my room alongside my Xbox 360 and tv, I can reignite the desire to make some videos from my Xbox gaming. Question is, what to use - I was considering that thing called a Dazzle, but apparently there's issues with it working with Windows 7. I'd rather have a plug-in USB capture card than tinker about with the back of my PC, so any suggestions would be most welcome.

these things are really easy to use, i have a similar one and it works fine... although im not using 7. as far as i know (because i can read) it's 7 compatible

I use a Dazzle Platinum, with Pinnacle Studios to record my console shit. You also need: A/V Splitters and a double ended A/V Cable. You can get pretty nice quality with a Dazzle, but if you want OMFG HQ you can get HD PVR: http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hdpvr.html)

No fussed about HQ, and don't even wanna go near HD considering my telly's a wee small bugger lol.
I've been keeping an eye on this too: Blitzbox B1 (http://www.blitzcast.com/Blitzbox_Bone.html). Have heard a lot of poor things about Dazzle so will probably stay away from them. Sab, cheers for the link, but it'd be nice to know it worked OK with PAL stuff, your link was an American website and don't forget my setup may be different as it's UK shite.
Shakira, same for you to be honest, that Hauppage website had a cool USB Live2 thingy there, that was ONLY available on the US part of the website - shame as well as it sounded like it'd work wonders for me.Linky (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_usblive2.html)
Not looking to do amazing things, just nice and simple shit lol.

Like I said, Dazzle Platinum works on pretty much all things to my knowledge. I know kids from Scotland who do Cod4 montages with it. Also, AMphetimine is from the UK, and he used one for his cod4 vids. Btw, I have Vista and it's never had problems with it. If you'd like some examples of the quality and shit of the Dazzle, hit me up on msn John :euro:
-
Shakira brainwashed me into getting a Dazzle. I may live to regret this.
-
LOL SHAKIRA!!! I really hope that sticks :)
If all else fails, cam corder.
and Jdizzle's been suspended for a week.. COOL STORY BRO!
-
I always call him Shakira, have done for donkeys.
-
loooooooooooooool I happen to think im hilarious
Well, face the truth, you're not :(
-
I record stuff with my DVD player.. but it cant handle pal-60 games so yea.. <_<
Any possibility to change that kind of things? like splitters and stuff since I dont have any clues atm :(
On-topic: Didnt bought an Dazzle either since I heard lots of stupid things about it ..
-
Apparently, even for Windows 7 users like me, the Vista driver makes it work. It is fucked up, and Pinnacle should get the finger oot and make a proper normal Windows 7 driver.
This time tomorrow I hope to have it all set up and installed :)
-
Hey king i don't wanna make a new thread here but i was just wondering if you're ordering this stuff online or if in a store where from?
-
Please respond here if the Dazzle works on 60hz PAL games please. :)
And where did you get splitter and AV cable?
-
Ordered it all from Amazon. Everything arrived today - except the splitter. Fucking raging, I gotta fucking wait now! Estimate is between 15th and 18th for that, fucking joke!
-
Still waiting for splitter. Better arrive tomorrow (technically today -Saturday) or I'll be a sad panda.
-
This is why you buy your hardware from a non virtual store
-
Fuck Face, I checked - I could not confirm whether any local stores stocked them, and couldn't be arsed going all the way to them to see. I can wait anyways, not as if I have anything PLANNED - but as long as I'm capable of doing it, I'll think of something. Been toying with a San Andreas idea for example - may put my lazyman's walkthrough from text format to video format haha, know loads of lazy and easy ways to finish missions.
More importantly, will it all work in the first place? We'll soon know - bet you're all fuckin' wetting yerselves. Feel free to close this, any bored power-hungry mods out there wishing to show a demonstration of their power :)
-
Good news, splitter arrived.
Bad news, I think shakira forgot to tell me I needed THREE and not one...
My TV is set up so the back of my telly only allows you to plug in a scart plug thingy or whatever, with the yellow/red/white thing going in. There's no output thing like you see in several tutorials on how to set it up. So that basically means I gotta order another two because shakira forgot to mention I needed three and not one!
Frustrating.

woah that sucks :ajaja:
-
That's just common sense Kingjad. :cc_detective:

i dont know if this will help at all

I got it - it works.
The 60hz thing is a pain, I need to use something called AMCap or else it goes black and white. Alternative is playing games on 50-pal instead which won't work for some games!

Thats exactly my problem while trying to record with a dvd player, someone knows about a VGA cable? A friend of mine uses that and now the PAL settings has dissapeared on his xbox and he can record everything with a regular dvd recorder :hmm:

Looks fine for the price, I might actually get one. Especially when I got this like 6 or 7 in 1 RPG shot a few days back, such a bummer I didn't bought my capture card which I was planning to.

How I Record From Video Game Consoles! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrAX3nnk63o#)

Yah, I've talked to him before, he uses a different thing. While Dazzle is a plug-in USB capture card, Boner uses something you install in the back of the comp. I ain't confident enough to try that (tried it before, didn't work, and I just pretended it never happened - kinda like a bad drunken night out which ends being penguined by an ugly chick).
Anyways, I'm deffo getting the hang of this now I feel. Another render test I did:
