Well find out how the redvsblue people did it.

You basically will need a video capture card in your computer. If you can buy the XDK (major $$$) you are correct that it supposedly has a program that will record video.

There's nothing else out there that will do that. <

Click on the link under my sig, that will show you how to capture xbox video via a tv tuner card.

I checked out those vids on that web site you linked. Those were really well done, with some major editing. I'm not sure of their capture method, but i seriously doubt it was through a tv tuner. They probably have some professional A/V equipment. <

thanks for the reply guys.
but the thing is that i dont have a tv tuner or a capture card on my pc(and i dont think my dads gonna buy me one of those just to do this-dosen't those cost about AUS $80-)
But some tutorial say that i can turn my xbox in to a debug xbox and this can capture my gameplay as video. So how come there isnt a app/program that would let me do this without a debug xbox?
thanx for the help <

This tut, How to take screenshots and video captures for newbies, utilizes XDK, but good luck using it.

your only options are the XDK, a video capture card on your computer, or just recording stuff with a VCR... tough break, but that's all there is to it. <

Screenshots with a debug BIOS, yes. Video capture? I doubt it. You need 128mb ram for that. <

ok i know you can capture without SDK. so how do you do it? cant you just buy a vid capture card and plug it into there? <

Uh, buy video capture card for your computer.

Install it in your computer.

Connect XBOX A/V to your computer's new video capture card.

Capture video.

other option if your computer has FireWire (IEEE 1394) and you have a DV camcorder

Connect camcorder to computer via FireWire.

Connect XBOX A/V to your camcorder.

Capture video as it is passed through your camcorder to your computer. <

Did you even click on the tut under my sig? It shows you in detail what to do and how to do it. At the very least it'll give you an idea of what to do. <
