I'm gonna bump this with a new recommendation from the GTANet's Adamcs, for UK buyers that want an internal video capture, he says he is using this, and is quite happy with it:

 

Winfast VC 100

Hmm, quite a good price that.

Would I be able to add that video capture card to a laptop, or is it PC only?

For a laptop you probably want to get a USB device...here's an example, but I don't see the price or availability there. I just don't think most laptops are expandable the same way as PCs.

the only query i have is:

how do you get a video of lots of people where you want em - ie in the desert heat video (tga) theres cops by a house much like a stand-off. How is that done on the PS2? cheats?

Yeah, he probably had a combination of reduce wanted level (why all those cop cars were there) and then recruit anybody.

 

MichelPS2's story vids were the best I'd seen on here, Desert Heat is still one of my favourites.

i have a problem when capturing videos off a camcorder

half the screen goes very dark

 

are they any good video editing software out there that will make that part of the screen lighter

 

OR

 

is they anything i can do to stop it going dark in the first place

To stop it from doing that change your camera from interlaced to progressive scan. Your camera and your TV are phasing out each other's fields. If you can't change the option on your camera, higher-end software like Adobe premiere pro or AVID Express can add a deinterlace filter.

Thank, you for posting this Guide on Making a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Video.

 

(honestly, I really didn't know who to make a Video of the current game I'm playing.)

no my camcorder can't change it from interlaced to progressive scan

well i don't think it does

 

and i tried several types of deinterlacing but that had nothing to do with what i'm talking about

 

any suggestions?

Alex the best suggestion would be to not record your TV with a camera.... maybe you can record with the camera on it's side so the scan lines for each device don't overlap in parallel. Then turn the video back right side up in editing.

You can get a video card for as little as like $30 or 15 pounds if I remember....

I wouldn't recommend professional installation anyway... costs more than the device itself.

 

First you install thee software. Then you shutdown and disconnect all the cables and open the case, push your card into the appropriate slot and tighten a screw on the back where the ports are. Then put the case back on, reconnect everything and run a cable from the PS2 to the video card, and a cable from the video card to the sound card, now reboot.... you should be all set.

Several UK people use this one Winfast VC 100, you don't need any special cables not included. But an S-video cable might be nice to consider.

 

EDIT: GTA Chief of SAT fame has found a website with addons and downloads for Windows Movie Maker: http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/

I'm having some problems with ULead VideoStudio 9.0

 

When I open the program and set everything ready to capture, everything goes perfect:

I haven't used it so I doubt I'll be much help, but for European capture software there seem to be problems with presets like NTSC or PAL, adjust that to PAL, and I think there was something called YUY2 you need to change RGB? A lot of editing software companies have online forums for help, I'd google for one of those... good luck! We're looking forward to your next vid!

I think you need to change the bitrate, or video format in your capture software. I didn't have this problem but I remember some guys mentioning it.

 

Greddy, try www.fraps.com.

I have a couple questions about videos.

 

1. What is the best program to use to record in GTA?

 

2. What is the best program to use to edit GTA clips together?

 

3. What is the best place to upload files to. (What place can you download the movies from the fastest)
