I really haven't got a clue about making a video.

In fact I don't even know how to save my laps as a film in the game.

Could someone explain how to make a video from scratch please :)

Do I need a video capture card or can a USB drive be used in getting your film from the PS2 to PC?

Thanks in advance.
 
I heard something about a TV card, i have the Max Drive and a USB working with Photomode, but no way to get video's working(its in a .max file)
 
Why are you screwed?

Can someoen tell me wich hardware and software in need, and how much it will cost, if you can install and how on a cheap €100 TV
 
Just plug the ps2 optical lead (i think that is the correct name) in to the p.c input on the capture device and use a variety of software applications to capture what your veiwing. I use Nero and the picture quality is amazing.All you are doing is playing your ps2 through your p.c. Hope this helps :)

I don't think the usb port on the ps2 will send video and audio signals to the p.c in order to capture them.All i can sugest is buy a capture device.
They look like this if it helps

guys, on ebay search for video capture card, then sort by 'buy it now' and then price lowest to highest... there should be quite a few hauppage wintv capture cards for 17.99 with free shipping.

waiting for mine to arrive.
 
wooooo!!!! i think i know how to do it.


my graphics card has a super video plug which is basicly video in, now all i need is some videop capture software, has anyone got some they could give/reccomend?
 
Hi guys! I have an analogue capture card and Pinnacle's Studio 9 Plus to capture home videos from old VHS tapes.

The same principle will apply to the PS2 by linking the console to the capture card via the three phono plug cable that comes with the PS2 (you might also be able to use an S-Video cable if you have one because most capture cards I have seen have S-Video in sockets).

Studio 9 is overkill for just capturing GT4 footage (it is a full video editing program), but there are a few freeware capture programs such as VirtualVCR that you can use to capture.

You can also us a TV tuner card to capture, or some graphics cards, such as ATI's All-in-Wonder, is able to capture analogue video.

If you own a MiniDV video camera and your PC has firewire, you might not even need a capture card. Some of these cameras have what is called 'pass through' which allows you to connect an anlogue source (such as a VHS recorder or the PS2) to the inputs on the camera and 'pass through' the firewire to the PC.

Hope that is of helps :) Any more detailed questions, give me a shout.

Be aware that s-video only supports video and not audio.
I use nero start smart to capture all of my videos

You will need an extra cable for sound that has two phono-in sockets to a single standard 3.5mm stereo jack plug to take the audio from the left and right audio plugs on your PS2's S-Video cable to the line-in of your sound card (unless your sound card takes phono in).

If you want sound, this is true of all the methods mentioned in this thread apart from if you used a TV Tuner card and the PS2's 'ariel' cable, or the 'pass through' method with a DV camcorder.

Karnus, are you sure the S-Video socket on your graphics card is an *input*? Many graphics cards these days have an S-Video *out* socket for connecting to a standard TV...mainly for watching DVDs I think...I can't think of any other reason for it.
Alan
 
i agree with alaneye, because if you had an s-video for input you would more then likely have a composite input aswell(the yellow,red&white rca leads) 👍

Alas, i have no capture card, so, i have to get my mini dv camcorder out and video the screen! I've never posted a video, as about 5mins of filming is 250mb when uploaded!

Well, to start, when u transfer photos, i'm presuming they are on a memory card. In this case, it's just like transfering images from a digital camera, and your camcorder works as a card reader (i think).

Why you can't upload videos
Becuase it works differently. The way i upload stuff, is that my sony camcorder has a capturing program, where you plug it in with usb2, hit record, and it records onto your hard drive, whatever you can see on the screen of your camcorder, is recorded. This means you can record like you normally would, without using film, or you can upload things you recorded earlier.

So, you need some software!

jreay, use VirtualDub to convert your video into something more managable. I just took a 103meg AVI and compressed it using the xvid mpeg 4 codec to a 1.45meg AVI.

When you get the program up, go to the video tab, and click 'compression'. A dialogue box will appear with all the codecs you have loaded, (if you don't have an mpeg 4 codec, you can get one from here). Select the XviD mpeg 4 codec, open your video and select 'File' then 'Save as AVI'. Choose your filename and off you go. It will take a little while to re-encode the video, but you should have a much smaller file at the end of it.

Hi Karnus, Virtual VCR should work and XP users don't forget Movie Maker that comes with the OS.

Dont know about the screen size as I dont use that program. But to compress things you can use virtualdub quite easy to use to compress most formats.

karnus, what format has it been captured in? AVI, mpeg? Can you host the video anywhere so I can take a look. It is very difficult to be specific because there are sooooo many different codecs and formats.
