I have a video camera and a capture card that allows me to download it to disk and send it through e-mail.

The capture cards used for this purpose are typically purchased, installed, and configured in host PC systems by hobbyists or systems integrators.

Normal speedruns are played on a console and recorded with a capture card or a DVD recorder.

The documentation says that Universal Serial Bus cameras and those with dedicated capture cards should work better.

Mac-compatible capture cards and external video-capture devices like EyeTV ($199; www.elgato.com) are available, too.

Several manufacturers build combined TV tuner plus capture cards for PCs.

Some examples of capture cards are:

Runs are required to be recorded using direct-feed capture, usually using a capture card or DVD recorder.

The capture card can record up to 1080i and can also record SD video.

Such a device is similar in functionality to a PC with a capture card and appropriate video recording software.
