  Hi all,
  
  I have an xBox Original (not 360) and I want to make videos of my games and post them on the web (youtube.com etc.).
  
  Some guys gave directed me to get a device like this here: http://www.adaptec.com/en-US/products/_eol/gaming/gaming_pc/AVC-1400/index.htm
  
  Does anyone know if there's anywhere in Singapore that sells something like this, which is very affordable as well? It kinds of help u make your own xBox game videos and capturing it into the PC for uploading.
  
  Thanks all!

  why don't you just get a dvd recorder and hook it up to your TV? Then you can record yourself playing.

  DVD recorder? but is it possible to connect that to my xbox?
  i don't think the xBox console has any plugs or sockets for that?
  
  it would be best, of course, if a DVD recorder can be used to do what i describe.
  
  thanks!

  You don't have to plug the DVD recorder to your XBox. Just plug the Red-White-Yellow (I don't know the techinical term for it) wires into the TV output socket and plug the other end as accordingly to the DVD recorder's input socket. Your DVD recorder would then be able to record whatever that is showing on your TV screen.
  
  But of course, if you want to operate the DVD recorder normally, another bunch of Red-White-Yellow wires are needed to be plugged into the output socket of the recorder into the input socket of your TV.
  
  So in total there would be two groups of wires running to and from the TV and the recorder.
