video capture

[ghost2501]

what is the best hardware solution for capturing Mirrors Edge Gameplay? Acapture card on the same computer that digitally grabbed the frames would be preferred instead of using a capture card that needs a s-video cable etc.to record.

Anyone have any idea what is the best way to record gameplay? fraps is not an option as it lags the gameplay adn I cant set any records with lag.

I have no experience with video capture. I was looking around and there seems to be 2 types of cards video capture cards and frame grabbers. it seems liket he higher end frame grabbers are more professional.

Please I need help!

i usually just use fraps for recording the games i play.. but the downfall is that it uses a crap load of space.. since its raw AVI.. but you have to use the full version of fraps to record over 30 seconds..

yeah but like I said above it causes lag to the pc its liek tying a brick to my leg I wont get the records that way so I need to know kind of what proffesionals use. I have two pcs if that would help also.

Anyone know anything about video capture cards? do any capture video directly through the system pci bus etc.?
