I'm looking for software that can record (video) games. (ie Spiderman, EverQuest, GTAIII, etc)
I have a Dazzle and know I can record to TV and then record to Dazzle in AVI format. Isnt there software that can record on the fly. Any help that helps will be awarded points. Thanks in advance.

If you have a 2nd pc, you could install a TV card and cature the output from your Game pc (if it has TV out). I wouldn't do it on the same pc because the process would slow the Games down and you wouldn't get nice video's.

hope this helps

This may be the way...see additional notes. Will try and if work will award points then.

Have you tried things like lotus screen cam, or screen capture pro? Are you looking to make a movie or capture a bunch of stills? You could always set up a camcorder and tape it and the sound and then use dazzle to bring it back in. Note that you'll want more treble and less bass as the mic on most home video recorders really locks onto the lower tones. Sounds fun though!
Good Luck

This will not work, PC cannot keep up with recording video and executing program at same time, see additional notes.

Tried this program and when game executed, the SnagIt would only record the desktop at games resolution. Thanks anyway. See additional notes for potential resolution.

Answer 2 would not help. When windows shells to the game I cannot access windows, even if I start recording before, the hard drie is constantly writing making graphics extremely lagging and in the end, video that was recorded is most tragic.

Answer 1 is possibility. Here what I will do. From laptop (second PC) I will connext Dazzle via USB and from Dazzle I will go S-video IN from Computer S-Video OUT and record this way. I have recorded from a DVD player and VCR and the quality was verygood, almost perfect. I cant imaging this would be any different. Thanks for your suggestions.
