What cables do I need for the dazzle DVD recorder?

A few questions about Dazzle DVD Recorder by Pinnacle Systems (Please help if you have one)?

  • I am planning on buying one of these dvd recorders from best buy so that I can record my games (Sonic Adventure DX, Mario Party 2 vc edition, Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing, Crazy Taxi's xbox 360 port (just to name a few)...) and put them as walkthroughs, let's plays, reviews, and commentary up on youtube. There are a few problems that I have. 1 of them is resolved. Because it only allows for 1 input, I am going to buy something from walmart that will let me put 4 inputs (red-white-yellow and s-vid, but I don't need that) on 1 small box, and I can press a button to switch the displayed output (so I can press a button to switch from a dvd player to my wii without having to pick up my tv remote). I am going to use it's one output to hook up to the dazzle dvd recorder, but even though that issue is resolved, it brings up about 2 more. What cable do I need so that it will split up the output so that I can focus on playing it on the tv, but it's being recorded on my pc at the same time (I would need a red-white-yellow splitter thing, but I don't know where I can get one)? The only spots where I might be able to buy one (I am not allowed to buy online, so I have to buy it in the store) that are near by are: Walmart, Radioshack, Best Buy, I don't know where else. If you could supply me with a url to the online store (the page containing the product), and it's in stores so that I don't have to buy it online, that would be awesome. The only other question is if I have to disconnect the cables from the dazzle if I just wanted to play and not upload any coverage of my games (would I be able to leave the dazzle off with my game systems connected through the multi-input thing and that connected to the dazzle and play my games without having to disconnect the cables). Here are the URLs for the dvd recorder I wish to purchase: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Pinnacle+Systems+-+Dazzle+DVD+Recorder+HD/3244597.p?id=1218405787819&skuId=3244597 I don't know the url for the multi-input from walmart, but it costs $20. I hope that you can answer this, so thanks in advance to those of us who took the time to read and answer.

  • Answer:

    You need a video distribution amp. Best Buy and Radio Shack should have them. Plain RCA Y splitters may work.
