I'd like to capture some video from a Gamecube into a video file on my computer. I know some graphics cards have a video input, but is there a way to do this without getting a full-fledged new video card? I have an S-Video output for the Gamecube as well as the standard AV cables.
Using Windows XP, blah blah blah |

you can buy a video capture card or TV tuner card without the need of a new video card. This will enable your computer to take input from a TV/VCR/ or anything with video out and display it on your computer for recording or whatever you want to do with it. | |||

edit: so something like this would serve my purposes just fine?? it even has an s-video in, if that's the same as "S-VHS" (also the picture has what looks exactly like an s-video input) (yes I am a hardware noob) Oh yeah, so if I did get something like this, how would I be able to deal with the input? Would there be some simple way to record the stuff built in, or would I have to get a separate program that records everything being rendered (like fraps or whatever) (edited by Zem + on 02-08-06 04:09 AM) |

Originally posted by Zem + That should do the trick.
It should come with a cd that installs a program for viewing tv. It would likely have an option to switch between coaxial (for cable tv), composite (the older connector for accessories), and s-video (what you're using for your gamecube). Then there should be a button some where to start recording (either to a limited set of formats or to whatever you have codec installed for). If its a good one it may also have pause and rewind buttons, when you hit them it will continue recording so you can pick up where you left off. The audio coming through the coaxial will be sent to the sound card either though a crossover cable inside your computer or through your line in or mic jack. To get the sound off your gamecube you'll need to get an adapter that allows you to fit the right and left composite audio lines into the stereo line in jack on your sound card. They sell these at Radio Shack for about $3. |

Allow me to recomend a unit made by ATI because the ATI tuner software suite is really nice. It has a built in program guide and recording scheduler and everything. | |||

Awesome, thanks guys.
I don't need sound for what I'm planning to do, but I'll get one of those adapters anyway so I can... do more stuff. Yes. |

Virtualdub also has capture ability support so if the software you get does not allow recording, then that should also work (although I have never tried it myself since I never owned a tuner card, although I really need on...) | |||

VLC can capture too, though it can be difficult to set up. I use it whenever I need to film something with my webcam. |
