Tutorial: How do I make Ingame - Videos?

How do I make Ingame-Videos?

 In my channel at justin.tv I got asked a few times how I broadcast games from my consoles. Since I also had a discussion now about “Let’s Plays” on a German gamer – community too, I thought I should make a detailed tutorial about this topic.

Attention!

Please don’t think this is a “This is the only way” – tutorial, I just explain how I do all this. There are often alternatives, so I will, if helpful, mention those in the subtopics.

If you still have questions leave me a comment or send me an email. (Address can be found on the contact – page.)

So, here’s an overview about the topics:
- Basics: What hardware do I need?
- How do I connect everything?
- Capture Software: Let’s start recording!
- How do I record a separate audio commentary?
- Scaling, bitrates, changing formats: Converter
- Video Editing: Let’s get creative!
- Nerds: How about Gameboy games?
- Realtimegamer: How do I produce a Livestream?
- Pal60 – Why is my video just black/white?

Now, let’s start with the tutorial!

Today everything is worse.

Well, not everything is worse. But it's different. Games, like other media, have changed. They are a mass medium, they give us more possibilitys then ever. But this "more" is no generell thing.

Cowabunga!... or not?

AB, AB, AB, jump, kick, jump, kick, AB, AB… First review here, and we starting with a Classic! Few weeks ago I found Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles 2 – The Arcade Game for the NES. So much fun for just an Euro!

I played through the game with a mate and recorded our session, so *tada*, there’s a gameplay-vid down there for you guys!
