Ok I know a lot of people are confused on how to capture so Im taking time to show you how to. Here you will find everything you need to start capturing and make a montage, gameplay vids etc!

Things You will Need

Pinnale Studio 500 Capture Device, one of the best you can buy imo!



Phono Cables, 2 Plugs to 1 socket



Phono Extension Leads(if your TV is far away!)

First Off

You will need to take all xbox connections out of your TV and lay them on the floor so you can see what you're doing.



Now get your phono splitters and lay them too on the floor next to your xbox AV cables.

Now connect the yellow cable to the socket end of the splitter.



Now plug one end of the splitter's "plugs" to the capture device's yellow port. This is so that you can capture on your PC/laptop. Now for the TV connection.

Now plug the phono extension cable to the other "plug" of the splitter. This then goes to your TV as seen in the next image;



Then plug your USB cable from your capture device to your PC or laptop Then open up your capture program and bam, start capturing. PS some people may experience some more problems after this, simply fidle with the capture settings.

This method should work for ANY capture card or device as long as they have a yellow "video" port on them.

But what about sound?

Sound is just as easy, do the same method. You will ofcourse need more of the same cables

I hope this helps everyone, any more explanation needed just ask me via pm or in this thread. Oh and yes, that is my horrid network in the background of the last pic

The other way around. Thats two sockets into 1 plug. You need 1 socket into 2 plugs. Or in simpler terms, 1 in and 2 out.

Yeah that will do. Some people do it the other wat around but as you can see in my images, my method works fine also

Good luck to anyone capturing!

i own a dazzle 150, since the hardware encoding is awesome. if you can't figure out how to use a dazzle 150, then you should wri/sts. good write up for the 90 though.

nice job but does this mean i cant record with my dvd recorder

Unless you have a DVD ripper installed on your computer then no. Having a Capture card is a lot easier Go to PC world and buy a Pinnacle Studio 500, it is easy to set up and only £50-60. PM me more advice.
