How to Record Video Games on TV?

A lot of people ask me how I do it, and, after you get the hang of things, it's pretty simple.

I personally primarily use a GameBridge, which brings the component to my USB drive on my computer. But I feel I should start somewhere sooner than that. Here, let me explain...

First, let's say I want to record something from my Super Nintendo. I plug my SNES in and put a game in. I run a component cable (the yellow, red, white cable thing) to my TV set, and then have a separate male-to-male component cable running out from my TV as well.

Then, I take one of the male ends from that new component cable, insert them into my GameBridge, then put the Gamebridge into my computer. From here, I use the software that the GameBridge came with (Intervideo Home Theater) and set things to record from there.

Everything else is post-production (editing) after that.
