You can't.

A replay can only be played in GT5.

If you want to get replays recorded, I suggest you get a Video Capture device.

You can use the basic ones like the dazzle video capture which uses the Yellow(Video), White(Left Audio) and Red(Right Audio) RCA plugs or you can get a HD-PVR which uses the Y(Green Plug), Pb(Blue Plug) & Pr(Red Plug) plugs.

The HD-PVR also has HDMI but you can't use that with the PS3 due to the HDCP encryption.
You can use it on an Xbox 360 though.

P.S Watch your grammar.
 
Grayfox is spot on with what he said. You can get a capture card like Dazzle, but the quality on them really isn't that great, one of the best ones I've seen are the Roxio cards. I think they record in 480p, but if you render them out in 720p the quality isn't that bad, example: http://youtu.be/sZUcWbH7znM

But obviously the HD PVR is better quality but costs more. Hauppauge 1212 is the most common one, you can normally pick them up new for $150-200.

An alternative option would be to get something like a Black Magic Intensity Pro or AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD. They cost anything between $150-200 also, but instead of being a external device like a HD PVR they are installed in your PC and offer 1080p where as the HD PVR highest is 1080i. So if your after the best quality then the Black Magic/AVerMedia is the way to go.

You can use a Huappauge HD-PVR on the PS3 as it accepts component video input and the PS3 AV socket outputs it.

What he meant is that the HD-PVR won't decrypt the HDCP protection the with HDMI connection so it can't record an encrypted signal. You need either the aforementioned Blackmagic card or a professional signal converter such as an AVA I/O HD to get around the HDCP encryption.

There are a few ways to run an analog signal if you're creative.

I'm starting to think I should make a guide to some of the more creative ways of routing the signals to unorthodox recording devices, stuff the average joe could have laying around the house. Anyone in favor of such a thread?

I'm sure it would be helpful for people as problems do happen with the standard HD PVR setup so a few alternative set ups would be nice.
I would be interested if it helps cable management in any way.
