What kinds of methods are there to record the VF matches into a clip?

Topic..
and... i know about EMS adaptor and Digital Camcoder.
I think EMS adaptor is a bit inconvinient for those who dont own one, and also DC costs just way too much..
any other suggestions?

 

A buddy of mine 'sold' me a USB capture device, it takes input from composite cables (you know, the red/yellow/white cables coming from your PS2) and captures footage at decent resolution .MPEG format. I highly recommend it, it's super easy to set up and use, and the quality is fine.

 

thanks for the replay but ..eh.. wha'ts it called?

 

Dazzle DVC 80 = $60

 

um.. BigBoyYoass

hey thx for the reply
btw, you live in vancouver?
i do too man.. do you go to the gatherings?

 

wait, one more thing, CreeD.
this Dazzle thing ... you can see the screen on yer comp while it's being recorded?
it seems like an awesome deal

 

Re: um.. BigBoyYoass

Actually im here in Richmond Va. not too many VF ers here. Shit I just became a warrior and there trying to demote me already? Crap.

 

Re: um.. BigBoyYoass

This isnt Creed but Yes, you can see it, and you can adjust it also. My replays suffer from my lack of memmory. Due to the fact that my comp wont take any more (sucks)

 

just one more thing.. where the hell do you get this thing? /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif
i can't find it in any store near me like Future Shop and EBgames and I live in Canada

 

you can get it at Best Buy

 

there is no best buy around vancouver tho..

 

Re: um.. BigBoyYoass

Yeah, it shows on my PC screen but it's a tiny bit chuggy. It's mostly smooth.

It's fairly decent pricewise and I'm sure you can find one locally. If you can't, you can buy online from dazzle's site - http://www.dazzle.com/products/dvc80.html

 

CreeD, can ya..?

CreeD, can you show me one of the clips you have captured with that dazzle device?
I'd like to see the quality of it, and if it's an o.k. level, I'd purchase it.
Do you have any link, or do you have it on yer server?
Which file?
thx

Hey, I liked the dazzle USB before, now I don't.

Here's why - I recently started getting an error message using the program that comes with the capcard (program is called moviestar, the error started presumably after I installed something)...
and for the first time in my life, I've encountered an error in windows that can't be fixed by anything except reformatting my hard drive.
People will want to offer all sorts of suggestions, but I ask you to trust me when I say that even though I'm fairly handy with computers, nothing has worked. The official help from dazzle's support crew has given up on it. Reinstalls, windows updates, etc... nothing can fix this. I've tried maybe a dozen different things. And no, you can't capture the video using an alternate program like Vdub or premiere.

So the bottom line is - the dazzle usb device is great, but there's a chance it will one day develop an error and you'll need to format your hdd if you ever want to use it again.

Because this problem has been around a while, and many others have gotten it, and dazzle has yet to fix it, I recommend keeping away from them as a company.
Whatever tragic used for his sarah combo vid is hot. I've also heard the ATI all-in-wonder is good.

Anyway, if you want to shoot yourself in the foot and buy the dazzle device, it WAS nice for about 5 months. Here's a fairly typical quality movie (the quality is actually a little worse than the original, because I divx'd it to a much smaller filesize)...
