In Game Video Capture

[gball_2004]

For a few years now I have been attempting, and in some cases succeeding, in making in game movies using mostly software capture. I have always found it exciting to present a movie of game that had really happened

In the past year or so the video capture cards have caught my attention. Now that I am in the market I was looking into buying a Hauppauge WINTV-PVR 250. I am looking not only for the ability to create in-game movies but for capturing my HI8 movies, TV, and other external devices as well.

That brings me to my questions, finally huh.

1. How do I capture in-game movies using the Hauppauge? The only thing that I could logically come up with is to use the s video out from my video card (radeon 9800Pro) into the Hauppauge svideo.
2. What about the in-game audio? Do i hook my computer audio directly into the Hauppauge?

Since you have a good 3D card, just use Fraps www.fraps.com for your ingame captures, it also does audio for you

Ive tried the software solutions and was not getting the smooth clear movies that I was hoping for at decent resolution. Even thought I have a decent computer it seemd to be choking when ever I used a software solution.

AMD athlonXP 2800
1GB Corsair (2x512)
120GB x 2 7200RPM IDE drives
Radeon 9800 pro

I figured that since I was getting a hardware solution to meet my other capture needs I would be able to capture some ingame action. In particular Battlefield Vietnam.
