What is the cheapest way to record xbox footage without it being terrible quality?

If you are willing to shelve out the $ for it, and have extra PCIe slot in your computer, I highly reccomend the Blackmagic Intensity Pro. If you somehow have USB 3.0 slots in your computer as well, you can skip needing the PCIe slot and going straight to the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle. Both take virtually any input your console could possibly dish out.
splitting the connections still gets you a bit of lag for me its about a split second so for a game like sf4 it matters alot atleast for using componect connections i havent done it with hdmi because i dont have a hdmi capture card but if i ever get 1 ill letcha know but i think the lag is unavoidable even just watching a match in lets say endless battle they make it lag on purpose so as not to interfere with the people playing
Here's another good question: is it fully lagless if you split the signal? How do you split the HDMI signal first without adding input / processing lag and still getting full quality?
i order an easycap. saw some great video quality out of it and it was only like 10 bucks.
yea thats that $200 range but im good for now this xcm vbox is doin its job for the time being
i also have a dazzle recorder the silver 1 and i actually havent recorded anythign with it since halo 3 and gears 1 were hot but yes that would most likely be the cheapest and the quality's not bad i say try it
if it came with a hdmi port its most likely an hdmi out which means you can use your tv as a screen it wont record your games i know its dissapointing both my laptops have hdmi and they dont record
besides camera phone and handheld cameras i use the xcm vbox 2 advanced theres vids on it on youtube that show you how it works but ill explain here to
xcm vbox 2 advanced $85
you connect your 360 to either the vbox 2 or the splitter it comes with then connect the vbox 2 to the computer
the upside: great price
The Downside: HASSLES! you have to play in sd (480p) but after your videos recorded you can re render it up to youtube standard 720 and 1080p the software it comes with is trash and i've gone through almost 7 different video capture software's to get the quality i get now www.youtube.com/x617x
the only reason i bought it is because my laptops webcam is 2 mega pixels and the really good capture devices are $200
