Actually with the dollar-to-pound conversion, it's more expensive. |

Actually with the dollar-to-pound conversion, it's more expensive. Hmm. Just that it's a lot cheaper in UK than the HD PVR so I figured that would be the case in America as well. My bad. |

Get a midrange headset and record using Audacity.
Then sync up the video/audio in some video editing software.

You won't get signed by machinima, if you're looking for the cheapest way possible. You're basically going to need a HD PVR and radio style mic.

That's not entirely true. HD is a must, but I've heard people signed to Machinima contracts with awful microphones. Obviously it's best to have a good quality one, but it's not a huge priority if the content is good. You'll generally be fine with some sort of normal gaming headset.

To be honest, with the quality of video content that Machinima is putting out recently, the worse the content, the better.

I just picked up a Roxio Capture device for 60$, just to test out capturing a game.

I am working on getting better quality. I am getting a Turtle beach x12 for Christmas tomorrow. So that is good enough mic quality to be honest. I use a Dazzle but I would not recommend it unless you are really good with Sony Vegas. Commentarys are pretty easy, Just dont be as stale as others (including Me, Working on that trust me) And people will sub. Just put out good content and people will love it. If you are looking for Cheap, Get a roxio, Render in vegas and use your headset to record and that is good enough quality.

I would go with the AverMedia Game Capture Card. Or the Hauppauge HD PVR (I have one, its great!) You dont wanna get a Dazzle or something cheap like that cause the quality is just really bad. And no one likes watching bad quality. So save up and try to get one of the 2 i said. For recording your voice some capture programs let you record voice while recording gameplay. And you would also want to get a good mic. The "Blue Snowball" Mic is a really good one i heard. So try looking for one. Also remember that you need to have a HDTV
to use a HD PVR/HD Capture card.

Hauppage is awesome. I invested in one earlier this year. It sure as hell beats using SD DVDs and having to rip them and make sure they're synced properly with the audio. With the PVR, you just hook it straight up to your computer and save it as you see it.
Here's the quality you can expect:

If you want to do well on Youtube, I'd suggest a HD PVR & a Blue Snowball Mic. Then when you want to edit the video together ect. use Sony Vegas.

Yeah, as everyone has said, the Hauppauge HD PVR is the most convenient way of recording HD footage. The biggest problem with it is that it doesn't have an HDMI input, so you're stuck with component. That might not be a problem for most people, but it made me go with the Blackmagic Intensity Pro instead: www.amazon.com/Blackmagic-Design-Intensity-Pro-Editing/dp/B001CN9GEAI should be getting it tomorrow.  |

Just earlier this year I was wondering the same thing. Kody pointed me in the direction of the Hauppauge HD PVR. It's a rather pricey investment, but well worth it. Everything seen on my channel was recorded with it. www.youtube.com/user/OverTheEdgeSVR |
