I have Windows XP (SP3).
My WMM isn't that good, it's pretty old too.
Something that can make them into HQ.
Lists, Links, anything are welcome. Thank you!
For systems too, not just PC games.
Answer
Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 is what I, personally use. It's very nice.
If you're just wanting to make gameplay commentaries, then you probably don't even need Pro. You could probably just use Sony Vegas Platinum, which is quite cheaper.
However, if you're wanting to make Montages, I'd highly recommend getting Pro.

Pro: http://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/vegaspro
If you'd like something else, you can try Adobe Premiere. It's a tad more complex than Vegas, but is also a little better than Vegas. I wouldn't really recommend using it until getting to know Vegas a bit, but it's up to you.

There's also Adobe After Effects which is good for making flashy opening titles. It's very daunting to learn, but can prove worthwhile if you end up mastering it. It's quite mediocre for normal video editing, but is among the best for huge flashy effects.

Now, as for your recording situation, it depends on what you're playing your game on.
If you're on the PC, you can choose from Fraps or WeGame. Fraps is the best, IMO, but will cost you $37 USD. You can try the free trial on their site.

WeGame is completely free, though I find it buggy and at times laggy. You have nothing to lose with it being free, so you can give it a shot.

Now, if you're on a console, you'll need to look into Capture Cards.
Since you said you're looking for HD, you'll need an HD capture card, of course.
I, personally, recommend and use the Hauppauge HD PVR. It's an external capture card, so it's ideal if you have a laptop, since you can just move your laptop and capture card close to your console.

If your console is close (or can be moved) to your computer and it's a desktop, you can look into internal capture cards (however externals will still work).
Internal capture cards have to be on a desktop, since they're directly installed to your computer's outer part.
If that's your case, you should look into the BlackMagic Intensity Pro.

One thing to keep in mind is that you will need a fairly high-end PC to run HD.
I hope this is of help to you.
If you have any further questions, you can refer them to a forum that I visit regularly and I know can be helpful.

Is there A way to pull a show off of my TiVo box and transfer it directly onto my PC?
rottdog76
I have the direct TV TiVo box and there are 2 usb ports on the back. I want to pull the shows I recorded off of the tivo hard drive and put it on the hard drive on my laptop to burn it to dvd. Is this possible?
Answer
There is a way to Legally Modify (Hack) your DirecTV Tivo (unless it is the R10 Model). It is actually a VERY EASY Upgrade if you have just a LITTLE experience with Computers.
Once the DirecTivo is modified you can then network it to your homes wired/wireless network. Then you can transfer the shows/movies to a networked PC. Then you can edit and burn the shows/movies to DVD. If you would like to do this then read on, I will post quite a bit of info with links for the necessary Software and How To's.
Unfortunately the shows/movies you already have saved on the DirecTivo cannot be transfered this way even after it is modified. the reason this is the case is that DirecTV Encrypts its Digital Signals, so when your DirecTivo is saving the show/movie to the Hard drive it is encrypted. You can transfer the shows in real time to your PC though. To do this you will need a TV Tuner Capture Card for your PC (For a desktop use a PCI TV Tuner Capture Card, for a Laptop use a PCMCIA TV Tuner Capture Card). This will allow you to connect the DirecTivo to your PCs Capture card via Coaxial, RCA Audio/Video Cables, or S-Video and RCA Audio Cables. Then you will press PLAY on the DirecTivo and Record on the Capture Cards Software. Like I said this will record in real time, so a 2 hour movie will take 2 hours to transfer. Once it is saved on your PCs hard drive you can then edit the show/movie then burn it to DVD.
First check out site #1 it has forums that explain how to hack your DirecTV Tivo and Tivo brand Tivo's so that you have Networking abilities on your D Tivo which allow MRV (multiroom Viewing if you have more than one D Tivo), HMO (Home media Option) which allows you to have a PC connected to your home network that can be used as a server for your MP3's and Pictures to be shown on your D Tivo. Once you hack the unit/s (HAS TO BE A SERIES 1 OR SERIES 2 DirecTV Tivo or Series 1 and Series 2 Tivo) you can apply some programs so that you can download the shows/movies from the decrypted programs stored on your D Tivo onto a PC for veiwing/Burning onto a DVD. If you have more questions I can give you alot more details if you email me. I have used these site below to aid me in Hacking 5 DirecTV Tivos (Qty2-SD-DVR40, HDVR2,Qty2- DSR704). I have HMO, MRV, can access over the internet with gotomydvr.com, can download shows/movies from all the units.
Site #2 is where you purchase the software necessary to upgrade the D Tivo, look for either their kits or if you want to upgrade yourself look at InstantCake 3.1 or 6.2, PTVnet, Slicer. (InstantCake is the operating system/ software displays you see on the screen, PTVnet is the software to boot the ISO disk you download onto your PC when you connect a NEW harddrive and it enables the USB ports and allows networking, The Slicer lets you get/receive upgrade from DirecTV without losing all your previous hacks upon software upgrades.)
#3 is a forum to get the other necessary software patches to allow you to decrypt the DirecTV signal before it is stored onto the D Tivos harddrive. And a patch to allow downloads of the shows/movies from the D Tivo. (Superpatch-67all-nutkase, and superpatch-62a, Tytool 10R4, and others)
#4 a forum on HOW TO and questions and answers
#5 a GREAT display of instruction with pics on how to remove the hard drive form the Tivo unit and install all the hacks)
#1 http://www.dvrplayground.com (Forum and instructions on how to hack units)
#2 http://www.dvrupgrade.com (site to purchase the DirecTV linux software to upgrade to a LARGE harddrive and enable the USB ports for networking)
#3 http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/
#4 http://www.tivocommunity.com
#5 http://www.weethet.nl/english/tivo_dtv2_os6hack.php (for Version 6.2)
Hope this helps, and have fun. If you have any further questions please feel free to email me. If you are local I can also Upgrade your DirecTV Tivo for a charge.
