Topic: Anyone know anything about recording sound/video off your consoles?

[Sub Tank]

I want to rip all of Morrigan's suggestive one liners off MvC3, and throw them into something I'm making.

Will this do the job?  I don't even care about video quality to be honest, just sound.

[Quickman]

It should.   Prolly better than what I use, which is some no frills video-capture device my brother ordered for super-cheap, and the instructions were in Engrish.

If you only want sound, maybe an audio line-in cable is the most painless thing to get. You just plug it into both the TV headphone and the PC microphone holes and then you start a program like Audacity and you can start recording right away.

For both video & audio at the same time, try this Dazzle Recorder. I use that for recording video files and live streaming and it still works after many years of using it.

I swear one of those cables came with something I own, but I have no idea where I saw it last.  For $5 I might as well just order it before tearing my house apart.

Thanks!  You'll be sure to see my Morrigan flash when it's completed.

I tried those audio line-in cables and I keep getting this awful hissing noise

[ಠ_ಠ]

Which port on your computer are you using? The line-in one tends to be higher quality than the microphone one.

[Sub Tank]

I did line in.

Actually I just removed the background static with Audacity.  It's not that bad now.

It could have also been dust in the port if it hasn't been used frequently.

What kind of audio/video connection are you using from the console?

You might want to use this.
