I’m looking for a simple way. I can plug in my laptop to the ps3 or television simple enough. However, is there a free program that would allow me to capture the video and create a file for it?
The more detailed the answer the better, as I have never done this before.
You can try Debut, it basically has a screen capture program that will record what is playing on your screen to a video format of your choice. You can either record the entire screen or select an area of the screen (so your media player).
It’s free and small
