Testing My New DVD Recorder Footage (Wii and Xbox 360)

[Jibrankiddy]

show off

[Zenophis]

@Jibrankiddy There isn't anything wrong with a test video you know so just can it up. :D

[shyarkugan]

sooo..do you just pur the dvd-r in the recorder and just press record?

[hddr3]

@shyarkugan u have to put the cables into the dvd recorder and need to run output cables from the dvd recrder to ur tv. I recommend a DVDRW disc because you can delete files from the disc and use again..

[Caio569]

Ahh look at the difference dudes

[errantfalcon]

wii sucks my balls

[SmashBrosWii1]

How much did it cost, plz tell me! i need one, all i have is a crappy camera with bad quality

[Kyoslicer]

@SmashBrosWii1 This one I got was about $150 dollars, but I got it a while ago so the price on it's probably down. If you check Amazon, they usually have the best prices.

[DFNShows]

@Kyoslicer can it go 720p HD?

[computerkid1416]

@SmashBrosWii1 They cost about $100-$150 I'm getting one that costs about $130 and it has a VCR built in.

[gamerdw2]

i think , easycap is easier to use , because you can record the video from your computer , but i have an hdtv with my ps3 , so i can't record videos , but i don't change the wires , they could break

[HereThereNdEvrywhere]

It doesn't look too bad, although it appears that you don't have an HDTV... I could be wrong though.

[Kyoslicer]

Yeah, at the time I had an SDTV, it could only go as high as 480i, I have an HDTV now, but this recorder doesnt take HD inputs, so the quality would still be the same.

[ShakeNBake208]

which rrecorder do u have?

[Kyoslicer]

Magnavox ZC352MW8

[computerkid1416]

@Kyoslicer That's the one I'm getting! I believe that specific model in pretty popular.

[ohyesbenny]

Please, how do you connect a dvd recorder to your wii?

[ShumanALI]

kyoslicer, can you really help me please, I've got a philips dvd recorder look similar to yours my question is how do I record my xbox 360 footage? Thanks in advance

[Kyoslicer]

Wow, thats odd, Sorry to here that...Umm the one I use is called the Magnavox ZC352MW8.

[codenamesolidsnake]

damn mine took 21 mins and i have the

[codenamesolidsnake]

how long did it take for you to upload it to youtube

[Kyoslicer]

It took about 3 to 4 hours to upload.

[JiteshJassal]

to make it quicker put it to WMM. WMM = windows movie maker and then upload it to utube and happy days

[davchandler]

wow he must just have badinternet it should never take that long

[Kyoslicer]

Any DVD recorder should work. As long as you got some DVD ripping software you should be in business, and Thanks! :)

[DaWgGaMeR]

That quality is amazing! 5/5

[JoshCCFC09]

Wow that footage is great considering you dont need to buy shitty dazzle for it and stuff.

[Albert255202]

If you use a hd cable for the 360 can u still hook it up to a dvd recorder with the hd cables?? plz reply

[Kyoslicer]

I don't know if there exists a DVD recorder that has an HDMI input, but I know some accept component video cables. As far as I know I think the highest resolution a basic DVD recorder can receive is 720p or 1080i when using component cables.

[KHRaccoon]

I believe Toshiba makes one with hdmi input now.

[11Brendan41]

when u hook up your xbox to the dvd recorder do u find that it kinda lags a bit when u aim and stuff?

[Kyoslicer]

Not really, it played alright for me.

[nealer04]

Dude i have never seen such good quality without a dazzle. What kind of dvd recorder di you get? and was it cheap?

[Kyoslicer]

The DVD recorder I have is called the "Magnavox ZC352MW8" and the program I use to rip the footage is called "WM converter" It' sounds generic but it does wonders if you're using the right settings, and it's free. i hope this helped.

[thomaspvh]

What are all of your setting on your Dazzle, frame rate, best/good/better? Please do tell.

[Kyoslicer]

I didn't use a dazzle for this, I used a seperate program all together to rip footage from DVD disks that were used to record the footage.

[TheAwesomeShowBros]

Nice video mate, good qaulity too.

I need to ask a favour, could you explain how I can do this with my DVD recorder?

Cables and stuff. and once recorded to my DVD harddrive, how to then get it onto my computer.

Thank you very much.

[DazzleGameRecorder]

How did you upload it to youtube I have Dazzle DVC100 and i try to upload it but it take forever.!?

how do you do it?

[Kyoslicer]

It depends on what file format. I think Mp4s and FLV files upload faster, but really all videos take a while to upload. What size and length is the video you're referring to?

[DazzleGameRecorder]

Like 1 - 10 minutes

[DazzleGameRecorder]

But how did you convert it?

[Kyoslicer]

I converted it using a program called WM converter. It sounds generic, but it does wonders. I set the format to WMV and set the video bit rate to 3000 kbps with 640x360 res for widescreen, of coarse you can set it to how you prefer as well.

[marat271]

I depends on the file size. if its 2 GB it will take forever ( since youtube dont accept the size) try lleaving the computer for 1 hour while it uploads it should do it. :D

[mattchappy]

how do u get them???help plz i need 1 for my cod5 vids

[TheKitchenSinkII]

I don't suppose if you'd know whether the Dazzle DVD Recorder has quality as good as the video shown here, would you? I checked up on the exact model you said you were using and it costs over $100, and I find that a bit steep.

[Kyoslicer]

The Dazzle will most likely have way better quality since there wont be a whole lot of converting from DVD to Mp4 (or whatever other format). The problem with dazzle I heard was that it had frame rate issues and compatibility problems with vista. I think it works well with XP though.

[TheKitchenSinkII]

Hmm. I use XP so that wouldn't be a problem, but framerate issues would be...I'll try to find an example video...

[Kyoslicer]

It's not so much problems with the footage itself its while your recording. Pretty much the preview window. Thats why people use a composite video splitter to play the game on their own TV and record the footage to their PC.

[WiiStuff11]

it is just the dazzle dvd recorder that has frame rate issuses. if you get the dazzle video creator you should be alright.

[SilentBun]

What is the model name for your dvd recorder?

[Kyoslicer]

Magnavox ZC352MW8.

[singprb]

my footage isn't all that good, well maybe it's cuz i don't have a good dvd recorder. lol. about that lag thing, i haven't experienced lag on some games, but on some other games *cough* Rock Band 2 *cough* i experienced HORRIBLE LAG!!!! Well only 5 secs late. Just warning others that some dvd recorders give lag, and some don't.

[mrbenio]

Explanation on what you used, and how you did it please?

[Kyoslicer]

I plugged the composite cables into the DVD recorder, then I recorded the footage to a DVD+R. Once I finished I finalized it and then converted it to a WMV file using a program called WM converter.

[Blooper828]

Could you please make a video or send me a message on just how you set the wii, dvd recorder, and tv up with the red, yellow, and white cables.

[KingKombat95]

So is there any lag?

If so, is it bad?

I ask this because I plant to buy a DVD recorder myself.

[Kyoslicer]

I personally experienced no lag, and I doubt anyone else would either. The only issue you might encounter is floating pixels or sluggish frame rates, but thats of course if you don't rip the footage properly.

[KingKombat95]

Thanks much for the reply.

[xHALOxPRODIGYx]

it accuatly depends on how good your recorder is you must have a very good one :)

[Sromano0011]

My computer won't pick up the DVD-R disc I have in my DVD-ROM drive, and neither will Magic DVD Ripper! Any solutions?

[Kyoslicer]

After you recorded the footage did you finalize it in the DVD recorder. If your using a DVD RW you won't need to, but if your using a DVD R then your going to need to finalize it before trying to rip it onto your computer. Sorry I took so long to respond.

[Sromano0011]

How do you 'finalize'?

[Kyoslicer]

Well of course it's different for all DVD recorders. But I'm sure the settings are the same. You go to setup or settings on your DVD recorders interface, and look for disk edit or edit options or anything similar. There will be an option to finalize, format, label, or something to that nature. You want to select finalize. If you can't find it, your instruction manual should tell you. Just lookup Finalize in the index.

[333EvolutioN]

how did you covert it ?

[Kyoslicer]

I used a program called WM converter. The quality wont be that great, but its uploadable for youtube. I would recommend Magic DVD ripper if you want to focus on quality.

[GuitarHeroXII]

I'm trying to set up my xbox 360 with my Pioneer DVD recorder and according to your earlier comment, I have everything hooked up right, but, nothing shows up. The DVD Recording menu shows up, but I can't see the game. It's just a black screen and you can hear white noise. I don't know how to fix this. Maybe you know?

Thanks.

[Kyoslicer]

You say you hear white Noise. I can probably thing of maybe two things. either the connections are wrong or their may be some defectiveness. Have you plugged in the composite (Yellow White and Red) from your system into the video Inputs on your DVD recorder, and then have an additional composite cable running from the output of your DVD recorder to the input of your TV?

[GuitarHeroXII]

It's ok, I got it. Thanks anyway.

[XII0eVoLuTiON0XII]

got some questions :

how did u ripp it to a cd

how much does this thing cost

how does it work ? thanks

[Vallytheman]

hey what website did you get the Free DVD ripper

[Number1Plz]

Does it record 60 hz?

[NoFearDG]

How I get rid a lag? Please check my video that "Test Recording on Wii.

[epmanaphy]

I have a few questions about your DVD recorder.

Is it easy to set up?

Is it compatable with Windows Vista?

Do you have to use a converter to upload your videos?

And does it come with all the things needed to set it up?

I'm getting a Wii next week and I want to record Mario Kart Wii so I just wanted to know. Thanks!

[Kyoslicer]

The DVD recorder is easy to setup. It's not exactly something you hook up to the computer its just a DVD recorder It depends on the DVD ripping software you get, because they don't go directly to the harddrive of the PC they are burnt to DVD disks. You have to rip them later on. In your case it wouldnt come with everything. You would need the DVD ripper, rewritable DVD disks and a good converter, One that will convert .VOB files

[sherp2u]

Orr you can go to WMM and use it to capture instead of rip, just a thought.

[Blooper828]

How can you do it with windows movie maker?

[epmanaphy]

So is it compatable with Windows Vista and did you have to buy a converter (which one did you get)

[Kyoslicer]

I found a good one for free. Its called Free DVD ripper. It does wonders. The only draw back is that sometimes the outlines on the video subjects will separate (I dont know the scientific term for it). Its doesnt kill the quality tho. I now use Free DVD ripper. If you wont more convenience I would suggest you invest in the Dazzle DVD recorder for the PC. Its cheaper and less hassle.

[chaodude32]

i have an sqpb hi- fi recorder panasonic and a samsung tv with only one set of red yellow and white plugs in it how do i hook that up

:(

[Kyoslicer]

you can hook up your consoles Composite cables to your recorder than hook up your recorder to your TV with that single set of composite cables(the red, white, and yellow cables) I hope that answers your question.

[Sirwinsalotk]

Hey! I was wondering..I am going to be getting a dvd recorder to record my xbox 360 gameplay and I was wondering if you can edit the video after you put it onto your computer. please comment back!

[Kyoslicer]

yea, you can record anything that plugs into the recorder, as for editing, your going to have to convert the VOB file after copy the footage to the PC, finding a good converter is a problem, you might end up buying one if you can't find a good free one.

[WantedChaos89]

I am getin my in 2days cant wait..

[Zerobadniks]

getting my dvd recorder today lol

[kornssbm]

oh the prize is not too expensive :o

but what do you mean by a stand alone input DVD recorder. ?

[Kyoslicer]

by that I mean its just a DVD recorder, no built in VCR, just composite and S video inputs. So you can plug up consoles and Cameras and any other device that use Composite Cables or S video cables.

[kornssbm]

Do you know where can I buy this recorder ?? :( its beautiful!

and how much would it cost ?

i really need one of this

[Kyoslicer]

I got mine at my local walmart. It was about 130 bucks. pretty good price for a stand alone input DVD recorder.

[itzmario]

I've always wanted to play the new Pac-Man

[Kyoslicer]

It's pretty cool, if you get a 360 or if you already have one, you should download it. It's worth the points I'd say!

[itzmario]

well i dont have a 360, but i'm planing to get one and i'm new to this xbox stuff cuz i'm more of a nintendo fan.

[Kyoslicer]

Ahh, I see. I was the same way for a while, you'll get use to it real quick. People say the 360 is only home to FPS games and hardcore stuff, although thats mostly true, there are other games on that system that appeal to other genres like RPGs and adventure and stuff.

[itzmario]

I got my 360 today and I also got Pac-Man!!! it's so fun!!! it's even better than the original!

[Kyoslicer]

See! Told ya! :) Its very enjoyable.

[darkrider564]

whats better wii or 360?

[Kyoslicer]

It depends on the type of games you like to play. If you go to like Gametrailers or IGN, you can see the different types of games they have for each system. I personally enjoy them both.

[thefrog101]

What is the nam of the camra and how mutch was it? i really want to know.

[Kyoslicer]

I didn't use a camera, as the video says its a DVD recorder. I recorded the game thru the composite cables and then I ripped it to the PC. The DVD recorder was an early Birthday gift, so I dont know what the actual price is, but Im sure they have them at your local walmart.

[thefrog101]

Any chance you know the specific name?

[Kyoslicer]

The one I used is called the "Magnavox ZC352MW8 DVD recorder".

[DoctorEggmanNega]

Awesome! :D Glad you got that, man! I saw me at 2:10.

[Kyoslicer]

thanks dude! =)
