How to record gameplay on the cheap

[YorkshirePud]

ok lads owing to the fact ive tried to video a few messages sent to me on PSN and that has failed with my camera phone im thinking of investing in something i can use to video footage. trouble is i dont want to spend megabucks as it wont get used all that often. i realise some of you have proper HD PVR boxes but i cant afford to muck around with that ive come accross this and wondered what you thought, and also if you have any alternatives

seems a decent way of doing it, i assume you get some pinnacle software as well to edit with, which should be handy!

depends if you want hd or not?

As for your phone, just record the video of the troll messages and upload them to the forum, i'll see if i can do something with them.

Yeah - we want trolls!



Also, it might be funny to send random abuse to him from PSN IDs he doesn't know

lol im trying my best sy, the whiteness of the text window is washing out the white of the text, insta fail...

since it would be more of a hobby the recording in HD wouldnt be a big issue, i see it as a gadget to play around with and just snag occasional things

my other questions are can the PS3 output to HDMI while i play and output via the AV connector to record

and how on earth do you record the conversations? i discovered on the audio accessories you can output via tv speaker but does it get your own voice?

Dick around with free themes - they change the colours of text etc. I had to stop using one of my favourite themes because some genius decided to set the font colour to the same as the background colour
