How do you record something on your tv or xbox 360 console without using a video camera?.?

What you need to record output from your Xbox 360 depends on the quality you want to record. If you want HD quality, it can be very expensive because you need a capture solution capable of recording HD quality video. In this case you would use the component cable from the Xbox 360 connected to a PC capture card as illustrated in this tutorial: http://www.jakeludington.com/hddvd/20061203_how_to_copy_hddvds.html If you're happy with standard definition quality, the easiest solution would be to connect the composite cable (yellow connection on the Xbox video cable) to a DVD recorder and record the video direct to DVD. A slight variation on this would be to use a TV tuner card in your PC to capture composite video.
