I recommend you free "Next Video Converter"
It allows you to covert almost all video formats including DivX, XviD, MOV, RM, RMVB, MPEG, VOB, DVD, WMV, and AVI to MPEG-4 movie format.
The converter is simple to operate and the converting speed is super fast.
It is compatible to iPod, iPhone, PSP and other portable video devices such as MP4 player and Smartphones.
Also, it is capable to rip DVD to any video format.

You can record gameplay footage to a computer with a TriStar MX HD PVR. In fact you can use the HD PVR with or without a computer your choice. The end result will be game play from the ps3 or xbox360 that you can use on your computer to edit or whatever.
TriStar MX HD PVR works right out of the box and includes everything you need to start recording. Here is how it is done.
1. Using the cable included in the HD PVR box connect the composite cables from the xbox 360 or playstation ps3 to the input on the rear of the TriStar MX HD PVR.
2. Connect the component outputs of the HD PVR to your TV with component cables included in the box. This is considering your have a HDTV. If you have a standard TV then use the included composite cables to connect it to your standard TV. Its like connecting a DVD player. If you have a HDTV then set the setting in the menu to either 720p or 1080i. It will give the best recordings and best output on your HDTV screen.
3. Press video input on the TriStar MX HD PVR remote control or on the top of the HD PVR console. There is a LCD screen on the tristar hd pvr and button on top the console to navigate if you dont want to use the included remote. Anyways, press input. Now you can see the video game on your television.
4. Start playing and then press record on the TriSTar MX HD PVR. You can use the remote or the buttons on the Tristar MX HD PVR. Now the video game will be recoding live while you play it and you can see it at the same time.
5. When your done press stop on the HD PVR. You can replay the video from the HD PVR or edit or delete it. Or you can connect the HD PVR to your computer.
6. You can connect it to your computer in many ways. You can connect it to your network and have the gameplay directly recorded to your computers hard drive. Or you can connect it to your computer with the included USB cable.
7. ONce connected look for the file that you just recorded. You can transfer it from HD PVR like an external hard drive or just edit and leave it on the HD PVR. Mine has a 1TB hard drive in it. So I just leave everything there and play it from there after I edit it because I have so much space on it.
Thats pretty much how it is done. Now the video gameplay footage from your ps3 and xbox can be edited on your computer or mac. I'm Jeffery Rivera and I hope my answer has helped you. Good luck and take care.

Camera for a cheap solution (considering you already have it)
For good, HD videos, theres the Dazzle Recorder.

you need a capture card. if your starting out, i'd recommend a dazzle. then when you want to get better quality recordings, get a HD-PVR or a Black Magic Intensity Pro
