How to Get Halo 3 Videos on Your PC

With the right hardware, you can record your "Halo 3" game as you play. This gives you the ability to create video tutorials, fan movies or even just to show off your most triumphant moments. Though some players use capture cards (a hardware component that must be installed within the Xbox itself), the easier method is to hook up a video capture device (examples include Dazzle DVD Recorder, Studio MovieBox and EzCAP116 USB 2.0) . In order to properly capture "Halo 3," you will need a video capture device capable of recording at least 60 Hz.

Things You'll Need

• 2 triple RCA cables (male on both ends)
