Hiya, I'm fairly new here and was wondering if there were going to be any video clips from BB6 or anywhere else to get them?

I know C4 have got them but I don't want to pay for a 3 minute video stream...:mad:

Thanks to anyone who can help! and that BB3 Alex clip is so funny!!! :hello:

I'd be capping left right and center, except my new Scart -> Svid cable is making my TV card do black and white :(

Okay, again sorry, but due to my complete lack of knowledge, what is capping? and if it means i can record the show onto my computer, then where do I get one of these nifty cables from?

Thanks again.

Capping is "capturing" videos and pictures onto the computer. All you need is a tv or video capture card. The programs they come with have ways to record videos and take screencaps.

Right, where can I get these capture cards and about how much do you think they will cost with the software?

Thanks

You can get a pretty standard one for about £30 on Ebuyer (http://www.ebuyer.com).

Same one I've got :) If you are running an svideo feed to it (rather than a tv aerial) - make sure you buy a decent scart -> svideo cable hehe

Nice one! Is the card good quality video and screen captures?

Thanks.

Video quality depends on how good your pc is - if it's quite slow you can't encode at decent size/quality... but certainly the caps are top notch!

Cool, my PC is pretty quick, so it should be ok. Will I have to get this installed by a professional? It's just I have no idea what it is...

How can I tell if im using my ariel or not? lol sorry.

Do you think that you will be capping soon?? It's just if I can't get this installed quickly, I don't want to miss any of the action. :spin2:
