Recommend Camera for recording Arcade Game Play Videos

[Hamster]

I wanna record some game play videos of my arcade games . Anyone know of a good camera to get ?

are you submitting these to a scoreboard like Twin Galaxies?

Otherwise, you might want to look into a capture card or software to capture the output of your emulators.  Some versions of MAME have this built in.

I wouldn't overthink it; these days, just about anything should do the trick.

Current MAME has avi file write. Can be processor-intensive, though. Fraps is a little better, though file size is about the same. I find it easier to record the INP, then use my phone, and directly upload via WIFI.

So, yeah, if you have a decent smart phone, just use that. Camera....what is that??

You could use a free screen capture software like camstudio

I bought a camcorder and setup a tripod to record videos. I think capture cards are too expensive, plus I record my Xbox 360 games too.

Fraps

if you are talking about recording emulation game play on computer.

On the cheap you can use a smart phone (android or iphone) and sign up for a twitchtv.com or justin.tv what ever they are calling it this week.  And stream videos game play like that.
