Which is the better way of getting my drift replay's up on the web? I'm planning to get a Sharkport anyway to replace my dying Gameshark2 so that I may continue hybriding, but I'm curious what kind of video capture stuff you guys use, and how much it cost. If it's to exspensive, I may have to rely on the sharkport, and nice people with a sharkport and video capture software. ;) Also, are there any recomended cheap or free video editing softwares, like something to edit MPEG's, or the like? Thanks guys.

Do you have the brand name and model #, and where did you get it. $65 seems cheap enough to me. :D

Thanks, I'll check there for it. Any thing I should look out for as far as compatibility with my PC or TV? :confused: Sorry bout all the questions, I'm not as computer savvy as I used to be. :rolleyes:

i think you'll need a really expensive Video Card. i'm no computer expert but my college roommate bought a $400 All-in-Wonder something something and he watched cable on his computer ... if you had that you could download pirated Adobe Premiere 5 or 6 and import capture. i'm good with software but not hardware .... with all this you should be able to make some really really vids (might wanna add divx compression to make them smaller)
 
Get the TV Tuner Card. That's the best deal you can get because everyone online can download and watch the video. Not everyone has a sharkport, so if you want to show something, then it's only going to be downloaded by a few people who have sharkports.

I use the Pinnacle PCTV. If you want to see it in performance, click the link in my sig and check out the entries I made in the first drift competition results :D

It only costs $70, and I had a $20 rebate on it, so it was $50 :D
 
SO, I need both the TV Tuner Card, the Pinnacle PCTV dohicky, and any appropriate video editing software? Then I'm set? Again, thanks for the help guys.

P.S. MrTokyoJoe, Sharkport is a software/cable package that allows you to upload game saves to you pc, as well as cheat just like with the Gamechark. It's made by the same people as the Gameshark.
 
The Pinnacle PCTV comes with a capture program, but it doesn't let you edit it. You can probably use Windows Movie Maker, or if you have the money get Adobe Premiere 6.5

Also, the TV Tuner Card is the Pinnacle PCTV. Go to their website at www.pinnaclesys.com to check out their specs.
