Help me record it!

[linkoninja]

Hi guys,
well I've seen plenty of people record SSB footage or all three games (while playing on the console)
the question is how do you do it?

I've never understood what a "capture card" is and how to use it.

I tried using the Dazzle to record, but for some reason when I was recording it was INFESTED WITH LAG, it was so bad I couldn't play properly. Oddly enough, when I played the video, it was perfect. So I never understood as to why that happened.

Are there any other options to recording game footage?
I've heard you can get a camera SPECIFICALLY made for taking videos and just point it to the TV screen but I don't know about that.

I really need your help!
Thanks again :D

hmm... I'd assume you could just take your standard video camera and zoom in 'til it took in just the TV screen. The quality would be bad, but sufficient, in my mind, to show off your "new smash", if that's what you wanna do.

Take a picture of every frame and then upload them and put them together then you're done.
