How To Capture On An Xbox 360

I. Intro

I wrote this guide for the all the people who are clueless about how to capture on an Xbox 360. Capturing on an Xbox 360 is very easy and this guide will walk you through what you need.


II. Equipment

Note: All equipment listed is just an example of what you need, the products listed are not the exact model/company you need to capture or the cheapest price, you may find other resellers that are cheaper and better, however you need all of the products listed (except for the Xbox 360 AV Cable, you pick one of the three).

Capture Card

My recommendations are a Dazzle capture card. If you are on a budget and need above average quality, choose the Dazzle DVC 90. They are widely used here so if you have problems it won't be hard to find support. If you need better quality and are willing to pay extra, get the Dazzle DVC 150. If you get a Dazzle 150 make sure to get the model number 210100325. If your are planning to upgrade to Vista, or plan on using a Vista computer to capture, get the Dazzle Video Creator Platinum. To find out more about a capture card that is right for you, visit this thread by .Lithium. Whatever capture card you get, make sure it has composite video (yellow), S-Video (black), and composite audio (red and white)

Xbox 360 S-Video AV Cable
-Choose one of the following

Xbox 360 S-AV Cable - MadCatz $14.99
-or-
Xbox 360 S-AV Cable with Component - JOYTECH $19.99 - Same as the others, except it includes component inputs. Buy this cable if you switch between HD and recording. When recording, set the switch to TV, when not recording, set the switch to HD to get up to 1080i.
-or-
Xbox 360 S-AV Cable - Microsoft $29.99 (Buy Microsoft's brand if your are paranoid about your warranty)

Composite AV Cables

6ft RCA AV Cable $9.99 x 2 (You may have some lying around the house, they are Male Composite AV to Male Composite AV, you really only need the red and white audio, but it comes with video and is cheaper than Monster Audio Cables)

Audio

Audio Y Adapter $3.99 x 2
