Basic Video Capture Guide


Did you ever wonder how people make these amazing videos like "Red vs. Blue" or the new popular Machinima "Spriggs"? Well don't try to use your mother's camcorder to videotape the glowing lines on you TV. The best way is to use a device called a capture card. This piece of hardware can be used to play your game or watch TV on your computer. When doing this you can record what’s going on in the game. Now you may ask how do I get a capture card well you can buy them they can range anywhere from 40-120$, American money. This is expensive but necessary to make a good movie. I personally use a device made by Adaptec called a Gamebridge I can tell you that it is very reliable as long as you have the right operating system (it doesn't work on Vista unless you mod the crap out of it).


You plug the video and audio jacks into it and bring up it's sister program Intervideo Home Theater(for other devices open up the program that comes with it). Then you start playing the game. When you are done playing, go into Theater mode in halo. Get to the screen you want and then hit the record button.


Once you have all the videos you want, open up a video editing program and import all the vids you took, and then edit away. You can record and edit in audio or maybe just add a song.


With a bit of practice and a little ingenuity you'll be an expert video maker in no time. So i hope this tutorial was helpful and um good luck. Now if you dont want to buy a capture card I'd be happy to help you out and record a few vids for you. All you do is PM me with the file share slots and/or a way that i can get in a game to record live for you. See you guys later and happy film making.

No need to lock it, people might have questions?

Meh, I guess so... I was just thinking it would save the trouble of deleting posts/handing out infractions for the simple 'Thanks' comments that are bound to be posted
