Recording video from your Xbox 360.

[Eudemon]

Does it convert the DVD to an AVI file?

[Eudemon]

Iced I noticed it says not to click Save AVI, not sure why it would say this but try clicking that instead and see if it saves your DVD to an AVI file. :)

[Eudemon]

DVD2Avi is outdated and now all the video editing and production sites are recommending another software. This software and a guide can be found here: http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/Creating_D2V_Project_page1.html

 

Also check and see if your DVD-R can record in a different format also, some can.

I saved to avi, and the file was 0kb big :S and the 'save project', but that doesn't finalise the encoding, the tutroial leaves that part to the imagination - which is weird.

 

E: I've checked the DVD recorder, and it wont record to DVD-R :mad:

I looked on my Dad's computer for software for recording off DVD (as he uses it to record off DVD after My mum has filmed her driving lessons for her pupils), and I found several programs which work slightly. But this (MagicDVDRipper) works the best.

Just download the free trial, and don't regster, this way you're able to keep the prgram (well Dad's had it for about a year without any hacking ...) Just don't click register each time you open the program. I've only tested writing to MPEG1. I will try AVI now. MPEG1 is really only good for when you're about to youtube something, as the quality gets lost when it's at 200%

 

 

Recording to AVI is best quality, however you will need a DivX codec such as this (the one I got) http://www.divx.com/divx/windows/

 

 

 

 

 

 

Screen-shots 1&2 added (MPEG1 only) . Smaller is 100% video size in WMP, and larger is 200% in WMP. the quality is slightly better, however the jpg compressing, and the fact I had to adust my display settings via Windows Desktop right-cligk thingy, the quality will be improved on anyone's computer.

 

Screen-shots are from the Recorded File from a DVD+R.

 

 

 

 

E: Second 2 Scren-shots are the AVI file produced.

Screen-shots 3&4 added (AVI only) . Smaller is 100% video size in WMP, and larger is 200% in WMP. the quality is slightly better, however the jpg compressing, and the fact I had to adust my display settings via Windows Desktop right-cligk thingy, the quality will be improved on anyone's computer.

Looks good Iced, what size is the DivX compressed AVI coming out at ?

[Iced_Bullet]

A full DVD-R (2hrs 10mins [4.7gb]) comes out at around 700mb. Or 1.25gb for MPEG1.

 

I'm using the DivX video as it seem better quality (very hard to tell), It's half the size, and I used my 1gb USB to move the file from dad's computer to this.

somebody told me that gamecam would be able to work on the 360 if i connected it to my pc through the ethernet port. I think that this is total bull but i want to be sure

[Eudemon]

As far as I know no that would not work and please watch your language. :)

 

Thanks.

but in case of the camera, put yout XBOX there, and in case of a cable like explained with on each end the 3 colours, an XBOX 360 cable with the 3 colors, so u can connect from ur xbox to ur pc immediatly, this is an awsome workshop for people who don't understand diablo's explenation (no offence, it's good explained ;))
