Title: Channel An To Ur Cpu And Record Games.
Post by: PsylentGlo on September 02, 2004, 07:04:00 PM
I am in need of recording my games videos (Halo multiplayer and whatnot), among other things off my xbox to my cpu hdd. I know that it can be done with a simple video card i used to have such a card but well now i dont and i dont intend to buy one.  Is there any other way to do such without a special card. I'm cheap although i can spend a few dollars on some cables or the necessary parts to make an adapter (if such an adapter can be made).

Thanks

well i dont have video input yet my usb camera inputs video into my cpu, and can be saved on my harddrive. So i guess i just drove a non-existant car.   Is there a way to video input video from a device (like my xbox) through my usb ports??

Not really.  See your camera was the car...i.e. it did the video capture and saved into a file (i.e. it was no longer video).  Then when you connected it to your computer you only did a file transfer, not a video capture.  So yes, your camera has video catpure hardware in it, so it is a car and did your driving, but your USB port doesn't.

Well then there are tutorials in this forum to turn ur xbox into welllll just about anything.  Couldnt u Install a prog on a modded xbox that would indeed cause it to capture video displayed on the xbox and then ftp the video to ur cpu hdd.  And just so u know i said i dont want to "spend" any money doing this.  I already "spent" money on the camera.  And since the video is created on the xbox there is no need for an video-in port.

Thanks

The answer is NO.  There is no way to do that.  The XBOX is using all it's resources to play the game.  What you are asking is to have another resource intensive app running and attempting to grab the screen images in real time.

No way.

I told you the only way how.  Get a video capture device (video card, USB, or FireWire) and record it to your computer via the video output of the XBOX.

I'm actually trying to market a device that'll allow you to do just that. You plug the video & audio outputs from the XBox into one end of this device, and the other end will plug into the USB port of your PC. Then you can either capture the XBox output on your PC, or simply play the game using your PC monitor. I'm going to start selling this device on EBay sometime next week to see how the response is. Email me at [email protected], and I'll notify you when I put it up for sale. Thanks!
