I want to upload some of my Gamecube replays onto a web page, is there a way of doing it directly from my 'Cube or VCR ? rather than splash out on a Digital Camcorder (some of the replays would probably be upto 60 seconds in length)

I have an X-port so my PS2 replays won't be a problem but the 'Cube ones are :(

thanks for any (useful) help

I will try the RF input card to start with, if it's crap I'll simply take it back :)

Thanks for your help

I don't know if it is still made, but I remember something called the Iomega Buzz. It was a breakout box thing with loads of connectors on it. Used for audio and video etc. Might want to investigate it.

That's the sort of thing I was talking about, yeah, a cheap TV card.

Should work for the composite, haven't had many good experiences with budget TV cards, but that was for watching the TV - not capturing from an external source. Aswell as the fact that was a fair few years ago.

You might want to wait to see if anyone else has got any obvious suggestions I've missed though first.

You mean pointing your webcam at the TV?

You'd probably find refresh rates would put a nice big black bar over the TV.

You'd need a capture card of some sort.

I've just ordered a nebula DigiTV which not only is an excellent freeview TV that can record to your hard drive, pause live tv etc., but has a composite input as well, would be the sort of thing you'd need.

Of course, that cost £120, so there will be cheaper normal TV cards that will also have inputs. Not sure if it's worth getting a capture card on it's own as it might not be any cheaper.
