    I would say, very unlikely. It has no analogue tuner and I imagine cannot record anything that is not being shown on Freeview.

    I would suggest using a video capture card (for example, the Dazzle Video Creator) plugged into the Mega Drive's AV socket with your TV on RF/Aerial (as capture devices often create lag which makes gameplay difficult), or possibly one that has a throughput to the TV... especially if you're intending to film other consoles where the 'two connection' trick may not work.

    the dazzle has inputs for that?

    i can't seem to find a capture device which has the old inputs, just RCA, composite etc

    i was going to get the roxio for ps1/ps2/gamecube etc but it looks like dreamcast and megadrive will require a completely different device!

    The old Pinnacle 'TV' cards have composite, RF and S-Video inputs.

    Hmm no I don't think that will fit. The one on ebay seems alright, though.

    cool thanks, it looks right to me and says windows 7 too. it's from hong kong but it's the only one which shows me a screenshot of the software.

    dam my graphics card for taking up 2 pci slots xD such a beast but, such a large beast...

    do you know anything about video production/editing, do you or anyone else use Sony vegas? id' rather not use their software, id rather use sony vegas 10 pro to do a real time capture from the tv capture card.

    IS there such a thing as an RGB capture card? that would be ideal for megadrive.
