how to record video games

hey guys, so you are playing black ops and you get a awesome game play on Nuke town, you went 47-1.  and you want to post it on YouTube so your friends can watch it.  you record it with your phone and it looks like crap, so you pull out your good recorder and it still does not look that good?  you can ether, buy a HD pvr or a Dazzle.  the HD pvr will run you from $150 to $1000 depending on which one you buy.  if you don't have that much money you can look into the Dazzle.  this will cost you anywhere from $40 to $140 depending on which one you get and where you buy it.  so you may wonder why would you spend that much money for an HD pvr? when you could get a simple Dazzle that would do basically the same job?  well the HD pvr will shoot in 1080i and have amazing HD quality...  while the Dazzle (with the right program and settings) will shot standard definition that is not all that bad.  if you are going to make more than 100 videos i would suggest the HD pvr because you will eventually end up buying it anyway...  but if you are only looking to make a few videos just go with the Dazzle.  because it will get the job that you want it to do done.  also if you are planing on making any montages with your recorder you will probably want to buy a good editing program.  anything really will do the job but i prefer the Sony Vegas pro series because it has basic and higher end editing FX and tools.  if you go the cheap way you can set yourself up for around $100 dollars but can spend up to $10,000 depending on your editing programs!   now you have that video, how do you upload it to YouTube you may ask?  check out my
