gaming monitor youtube image

I want to make videos of my game on YouTube. I've noticed that a lot of people make it look like you're watching the actual screen the game is on. How do I do that? Please help.

Answer
Use either a DVD Recorder or DVR, hooked to game machine, putting their signal out to the monitor or TV

What is the best recording equipment for gaming?

Hannah

I want to start making gaming videos on YouTube but im not sure what equipment to use. I already have a good quality video camera for myself but i need a reasonably cheap camera that i can use to record the actual games i am playing. Does anyone know where i can get a good quality camera thats not too expensive and that is not just a camera on a tripod?

Answer
Are you doing PC or Xbox 360/PS3 gaming?

If PC, look up a program called fraps and use it to record your gameplay.

If Xbox 360 or PS3, You will need something called a Capture card and also a few things to get you going.

These are products you can buy so you can record your gameplay:

HD PVR 2: http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-Edition-Definition-Capture-Passthrough/dp/B008ZT8QKO

Fora little less, Roxio Game Capture: http://www.amazon.com/Roxio-Game-Capture-HD-PRO/dp/B008YTAGGW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1374273652&sr=1-1&keywords=roxio+game+capture+hd+pro

You may need to also look up specific cables and connections if your playing with a HDTV or a monitor. Worse case, look up a tutorial for setting up the devices you need and keep track what cables and other products you may need to buy.

Hope this helps and good luck!
