How do I record playing games on a TV?

TV Connector to record Video?

• I think I've heard something about this before, but isn't there a product out on the market where you hook up a cord or something into your tv that connects to something else, and it will record whatever is on your tv. I play video games a lot and give tips and hints and such, and I want to be able to record video and post it..Is there a product that connects from the Xbox 360 to the TV or just maybe a cord that connects to most cameras or something. I want to get crystal clear footage, rather than having to set up a camera and record what my tv is playing, you know how that comes out crappy. So please if anyone knows any products that I could look into purchasing, please and thanks!

• Answer:

  An RCA jack usually connects to the TV monitor... so if you want to record what's coming from your XBox just pass it through a Video Cassette Recorder or Camera (put the camera in VCR mode) then you can record your XBox video to the tape directly... other kinds of connectors: RCA - usually comes in 3 jacks... the yellow's for the video - the white for the audio's left channel and the red for the audio's right channel... S-Video - it also comes in 3 jacks... the video is clearer with an s-video cable as compared to RCA... DV-connector (firewire)- this is best because it is digital.
