Question

[ShinRogafuken]

Is there anyway to record video game footage without having to buy anything that's like 100 bucks?

*Notice: This is for a DBZ BT3 fan project (a remake of the story mode with anime cutscenes and way more battles) called Dragon Legends*

Does your camera have a video recorder?

I don't know, unless you want to use a emulator and rom which is illegal.

No. PS2 emulation is spotty at best and non-functional at worst. You either need to buy a gamebridge, or record your TV screen with a camcorder (which will look like ass).

Or if you have a videocard on your cumputer, you can probably connect it with your TV, and record it.
I think it's possible.

Cumputer? Nice twisted word

Isn't it legal if you have the game? Or is that something sites say to avoid being sued?

Well, since many people use their computer to access porn...

It's illegal even if you own the game.

I bought a capture device for my BTS videos from NewEgg for $35.

It's USB, not firewire, so there's significant lag, but it works.

I always thought it was legal if you owned the game, I guess you learn something new everyday

That's one of those made up internet laws that people use to justify things they do. Kinda like how people say downloading English fansubs of an anime that isn't licensed in America is legal.

"Legal" is a fluid term. In this case, the most important factor is the lack of prosecution: no one has ever been convicted for any crime related to video-game emulation.

There is actually a very simple way to record video game footage onto a VHS tape, but now that I think about it, you probably want to RECORD IT ON TO A COMPUTER, which you didn't make clear in your first post.

But anyway, If you hook a Video Game system through a Vcr, you can record the footage onto a tape, and then I guess you could capture the footage off the tape using some kind of capture card.

Or you could skip the middle man and capture video with the video card from the video game.

Like I said earlier... Go to newegg, and look for video capture devices. I got mine for less than $40.

[ShinRogafuken]

Never mind. My footage recorder finally fixed his. He has a $300 one so it is VERY good quality.
