Hi:

I'm looking for a system that I can record a/v to a hardisk from the ps2, using component cables and toslink; So I can then send my game replays to my friends.

Is this possible or a replay data is to large to send via e-mail ?

Or maybe I can post the replays in a site where I can load and storage my game replays.


Thanks for your help :)
 
My advice; go to best buy, tell them what you want to do, get a list of the hardware/software, thank them, leave, buy mentioned software somewhere else for cheaper.

Also, after you make the vids, just upload them to youtube or something like that.
 
I don't know if there are any PC cards that can record YPbPr input. The easiest and least-expensive solution would be to use a TV Tuner card that accepts either Composite or S-Video. I myself use an ATI TV Wonder Pro, which is more than good enough to put together videos for YouTube (which I also recommend for sharing videos with your friends).
 
My notebook has s-video out only.

There must be something like I use to have back when playing GT1 that I use a VCR in series with the Playstation and the TV set.

If getting set-up to use component signals is too much trouble, S-video works just fine. I'm sure your friends won't mind and, in the end, they may not even notice the difference or care.

I have a dvd player/recorder, and I can just plug in my A/V cables, hit record and write directly onto a disk. very simple to do.
 
Tulok:

What input & output connections the recorder has?

composite, s-video or component video?


Can you conect your ps2 in series like this? PS2-->DVDr--> TV using component a/v cables? I know the audio input are separates...
 
Ill draw a digram:

hope this explains.
I dont even have to have a TV to do this process, it just helps a little.
 
You're a master, great diagram thanks a lot.

I will look then for a similar dvd-r.

I really doesn't understand when you said when I push [stop] ect.

this is what I understand: A (used or new) dvd, push stop so it will go to the last available space in the dvd, then you have about 30min.

that is?
 
it is really easy,
new Dvd has 5 slots on it.
when you stop recording, it goes to the NEXt slot, regardless of you have 5 minutes recorded or 25 minutes recorded...
you have to start with a DVD-R, not a movie DVD.
