Fraps to Record GT4

A forum for everything else that does not fit into the other categories

Postby victor_alpha_charlie » Mon Dec 17, 2007 9:30 pm

Is it possible to connect my ps2 to my pc and record videos on Gran Turismo 4? I have seen videos on Youtube and most people suggest something like This. Would it work if i used this and then Fraps on my comp to record videos? GT4 has suddenly become fun again after i discovered it was possible to Drift! :D Obviously I want to show off my skills on Youtube :D

Any help appreciated.

Ahh yes, drifting.... possibly the best part of any racing game

Anyways, I know one easy way of doing it, but you will have to buy some stuff
1. A Tv tuner card, with RCA/AV inputs/ or a VIVO video card with video input plugs
2. RCA cables for your PS2 (it should have some)

Using this, you should be able to connect your ps2 to your computer , then have fraps recording it. If you cant get fraps to record it, there should be some other screen capturing video recorder or something.

So roughly how much will this cost? And will I just run my ps2 on my Comp monitor, so I don't have to worry about being near a tv?

It should cost around $50 including shipping. It will run through your computer, with the included software, so it will be on your monitor. No tv needed. Ive never tried it before though, so I dont know if it would work. Check with your local computer shop

That looks good. I would ask on the auction if it would work with a playstation 2, just to be sure.

It looks like it should work... as apparently you can plug in AV gear like DVD and/or VCR players... and it should feed it to your PC... plus you get the benefit of being able to connect a satellite dish and watch freeview TV ;)
