Ok, here's my tutorial for vcr/dvd/other recording. Hopefully otter will edit this into his first post so people will see it easier *hint hint*
Before I start, I want to clarify that when I say vcr/dvd I mean a vcr or a dvd burner. Whichever you have/use.
Here's the setup, you do not have to, but may get better quality if you use an S-video adapter. It is entirely optional, I do use it myself. Your set up will be as follows:
1) PS2 with composite out put running into your vcr/dvd burner.
2) Vcr/dvd burner running an output into your tv.
The cables are running in through a video/audio input slots. You'll need to throw a blank dvd/tape into your player. Now, your vcr/dvd should be already connected to your tv, and you should change your tv to the proper channel (usually input or "tv/video"). Now you want to change your vcr to the proper channel to see your Socom on it. Usualy an input channel. (Mine says L2 for "Line 2")
Once you are all set up, your PS2 connected to vcr/dvd which is connected to your tv, you should be able to see Socom. Once you do, all you have to do is press record, just like you would to record a tv show.
After you finish owning noobs, you're going to take your vcr/dvd player over to your computer. (I use a portable one, not as big.)
**Note: Not everyone needs to know this, if it doesn't apply to you, just ignore it and move on**
My dvd player output cables are in the wrong direction I guess you could say, so they have to be connected to another set and plugged in. Most people will just have one set of cables running out of their vcr/dvd and into their capture card. Just like they come out of your PS2, then you can just plain plug those into the capture card.
**Note: If you record on dvd, you may very well be able to play it straight on your computer with a dvd drive.**
If you have a vcr, I pretty much already summed it up, but I want to be clear. Just take your vcr over to your computer, and plug output cables into your capture card. It's that simple. You can also use a normal dvd burner/player as well, it works the same way.
Mine is only different because of the portable dvd player.
You can now follow Otter's tutorial for capturing. It is pretty good. You can just use movie maker like he suggested, it's very simple. I would suggest using the software that comes with your capture card though, it usually records at higher quality than movie maker. As far as editing, you can start with movie maker, like I said, it's very simple. After that, you can move on to bigger and better things.
