How to Record Videos With a PC From an Xbox 360

Video trailers and games that are played on the Xbox can be recorded and saved to your computer. To do this you will require connecting the Xbox to your computer system. However, you will still require viewing the game or video on your television. This means that you will need to route the video to the computer through the television. The process is similar to connecting a VCR or DVD player to the TV.
