Hi, I have an Xbox 360 but I have a VGA cable and use a monitor instead of a TV. I've always wanted to record games but don't know how seen as i'm playing on my PC Monitor, thanks.

Answer
You need a video capture card for your PC. Then just run the 360 through your PC and you can record it that way. You can get capture cards pretty cheap from places like Ebay. That's what people use to make the montages you see popping up all over the place now.

Is there a way to record gameplay footage through a vga input?

Answer
you could get a signal splitter and wire the component split to your PC after converting to a VGA

then just get a screen recorder

Is it possible to buy a PC Monitor just for gaming on my Xbox 360 without having an actual computer tower plugged in? Like just have the monitor plugged into the wall and the Xbox be the only video source?

Answer
The 360 can use a HDMI cable or VGA cable. If you use HDMI cable you can also use a DVI adapter. However DVI (and VGA) only support video. You'll need to use another connection for audio. You can use the standard connector (yellow, red, white) and just ignore the yellow cable.

So i was hoping to be able to use my RGB PC monitor. But obviously i need some sort of special adapter. I think ive seen one before anyway. So can someone specify what adapter or lead of whatever it is i need to play xbox 360 games from my console using my monitor like you would for a TV.

I want to capture my xbox 360 game play footage to make a video. I play on a Pc monitor using VGA cables and i have a laptop to connect the capture card to. I need help on figuring out what to buy in order to capture my game play. Thanks.
Keep in mind that im using a VGA for my video input. Also links to the products would be nice. Thanks

Answer
a capture card will suffice. But if you don't want to spend extra money you can videotape it with a camcorder...

I'm sure you mean like if there's a program that you can download so the computer can "videotape" itself

I'm sure there's probably something like that out there but i dunno what it's called

Good things to record xbox 360 gameplay while playing it in a pc monitor?

Kolton Bro

I have my Xbox 360 hooked up to my PC monitor with a VGA cable. I was wondering if it was possible to record gameplay like this and what equipment I should use. Also, equipment to record my voice would be nice.

Answer
There is really no simple way around it, you will have get one or the other.
A video capture card, fast computer with USB3.0, fast CPU, and large hard drive would be one way of doing it. Video capture cards come in a variety of sorts and are made by Hauppague, Roxio, AverMedia, EasyCap, Dazzle, Black Magic Intensity, etc.

You might consider the HD HD PVR kit. The HD PVR kit has all the patch cables and hardware necessary to start recording video games right out of the box. This is rather an all-in-one device that works with HDTV and SDTV televisions. It does not require a computer and records by itself directly onto a hard drive, internal memory, external hard drive connected to it, or home/office network via LAN. Something portable and simple to use might be the Newelectronx HD PVR kit. If you can find one, nab it quick. They are hard to come by. Normally if you own one, you generally don't sell it.

Check online auctions to see if you can get a quick deal. You will mostly find Hauppauges, EasyCap, Elgato, and Roxios sold by unhappy owners. Might be a previous owner looking to dump there model for less than what you see listed.

Keep in mind low prices mainly mean overstock, refurbished, high customer complaint items, or open box merchandised. Read the small print before you commit to the sale. Also checkout the return policy, you might find that you don't like the item. So, see what the return requirements is on it.
