Best Way to Capture Video?

[Oinkersthepig]

Hey guys, I'm currently working on a project with 2k5 here and I was wondering if there were any good ways that I don't know about to capture video. I don't have a capture card, but I DO have a video camera. Is there a cord I can plug in to that and the tv to capture video directly?

Also, it seems like the video files should somehow be accessible with Xport. I know you can edit the files in the game with it, because that's how you get updated rosters and what not. Is there any way to get these files off of that and onto your computer?

Anybody who has anything to say on this matter at all, please respond. It would be VERY appreciated.

It depends on the input capability of your video camera. If you can port to your camera and make it the capture source, then you can output to your video editing program of choice via a firewire.

Exporting files via Xport or anything else (e.g., FTP program) to your PC will do no good since the game captures specific types of files only read by the game. They are not video friendly type files to convert for production. The only thing you can do with them is send them to other people who have the game if they want to import them to their own saves and view a replay of yours like they would their own.
