How do i get clips from the tv onto my computer?
 

Hi
I really want to make some fan vids but i was wondering if anyone knew how i could actually get the clips from the tv onto my pc ..? Is there a website needed or something else? x

:conf:

Clips of youtube to convert for Windows movie maker:

www.youtubex.com
www.vixy.net

It might take a while, but if you save them as WWM (I think) you should be able to use them in movie maker :)

You might be able to get some help in the graphics section of the site too:

Thankyou Kiz x

Thanks x

the only thing i can think of is to get a TV card.you can record straight from them.

I doubt my parents would allow me to get that lol, but thanks Cathal x

One way of getting clips from TV onto your computer is to get Windows XP Media Center Edition or Windows Vista Home Premium or Windows Vista Ultimate. Those allow you to record straight onto your PC.

Doesn't the PC have to have a TV card to be able to do that?

I dont think i have any tv cards lol x

Windows XP Media Center Edition already has the TV card built in and as far as i'm aware, the two editions of Windows Vista that I mentioned have the TV cards built in too.

i have media centre on vista but where do i find and how do i use this card thingy???

Thats what I have! Woo! How do I work the TV then?

Matts right you still need a TV card to watch TV.the only different thing about wathching TV on WME/WVHP is that it can record

The Windows XP Media Edition has a programme called 'Media Center', you can plug your aerial wire into it, and there is a record feature where you can record TV. I've used it in the past to record TV.
