Note: this guide does not describe a method for recording copyrighted material in high definition (sorry).

Introduction

It is fairly simple to record gameplay footage from consoles that output video in standard definition

(480i, 640 x 480 interlaced) as any common DVD recorder can be used. However, when it comes

to high definition (HD), there are very few commercially-available solutions. Consequently, this

guide describes the process of building a computer which can be used to capture a variety of

types of gameplay footage, specifically from HD sources.

Such a guide is something that I wished I had access to when originally planning such this

project. Instead, I spent a great deal of time researching various subjects (from computer

assembly to video recording and codecs) and even had to pester friends and colleagues for help,

information and advice.

Since there may be others who might have similar questions, I decided to write this guide.

Rather than simply providing a set of instructions and a parts list (which would eventually become

dated), I will describe how and why I built it in the manner I did so that readers can better

understand the principles behind these choices and can make modifications for their own

particular needs.

Disclaimer and Warning

This guide is meant as a general overview and is provided 'as is.' I cannot assume any

responsibility for support nor should any warranty be implied. If you decide to build your own HD

Recorder, then you must assume all responsibilities (financial and otherwise) for undertaking such

a project.

If you desire to build your own computer you will need to spend some time researching

other topics such as safely working with electricity, part compatibility (especially in your country or

locality), and computer assembly. There are many 'how to' assembly guides available online and I

1 Instead, this set-up allows you to record gameplay footage. This recorded gameplay footage differs

significantly from the copyrighted original work (i.e. the software itself) and is recorded for critical and

educational purposes protected under fair use (U.S.) and fair dealing (Canada) provisions under existing

because the fundamental interactivity requires the input of a player or user. Generally with regard to

gameplay, since it is performative on the player's part it is theoretically the 'property' (if you need to think

about it in that way) of the player while the game software and other related trademarks remain the

property of developers and/or publishers. This is the fundamental reason why most companies tolerate

(and encourage) individuals to record and somehow distribute recordings of video game play.

At any rate, this is legitimate material to record and it is important to point out—in this era of

corporate-controlled copyright legislation which continually tries to eliminate the rights of users contained

in copyright law—that fair use or fair dealing are fundamental rights. That being said, this configuration

cannot record copy-protected content as that functionality is prevented by the video capture card used.
