How to record my video games?
CJ asked:
I have a video camera with av cables that can connect to my tv. Is there a way i can plug my camera into my tv and have the video game being played back on my camera so i can record it ? I have read some things that say i need “video output” on the back of my tv, but it doesnt have that. Is there a way i can get that.

The video jacks on cameras usually output to something else. You need a cheap VCR. Connect your game system to the INPUT on the VCR, and then connect the OUTPUTs on the VCR to your TV.
