So I just got a DVD recorder (Sadly there is no HDMI output or input) and I was wondering how I can capture gameplay with it. 

I set it up but something is wrong.

Here's what I did:

- I took my double sided composite cables and plugged one end into the output of the DVD recorder and the other end into the AV2 input of my HDTV.

- Then I took my PS3's composite cable and plugged it into the input of the DVD recorder. I switch to channel AV2 and all I get is the DVD recorder's menu not the PS3's (The    PS3 was on)

- I still had my HDMI cable plugged in as well from my HDTV to the PS3 so i went to channel HDMI4 and that was where the PS3 menu screen was. I went to display settings and I chose AV/ Multi Cart and then I selected the option above RGB. The screen went blank so I went back to channel AV2 and it had a PS3 screen saying I had 30 seconds to keep these settings. I pressed Ok and another menu appeared telling me to select all the supported resolutions my TV has. There were only 2 resolutions. One was the standard one which is automatically check and the other was 480p. I checked 480p as well. Then I scroll to the right and a blank screen appears for 30 seconds and the menu appears again (The resolution choice menu) After that happened I was lost and confused. If i press the PS button it will say that if i exit the settings will not be saved. So what do I do?

Hope this isn't confusing!

Plus, I tried doing this with the Wii and PS2 and everything worked out fine.

i might be wrong...but i dont think its possible...

why dont you get a capture card instead?

[Stealthy309]

Yes it is possible people do it on youtube. I saw a tutorial on how to set it up but the guy didn't show how to setup the display settings. And i can't get a capture card.

Yeah, it's easy.

I have a Philip's DVR with a 160GB HDD.

PS3 Analog outputs into the DVR,

DVR Comp. Out to the TV.

Edit and Burn.

i think you can run HDMI from the system to your TV and then get your double sided composite cables and run them to your DVD recorder and start to record your DVD i need to get a dazzle

Yeah I get how to set it up but I don't know how to set up the display settings on the PS3 to switch it from HDMI to Composite cable resolution
