First you will need the capture card. A capture card is a device allowing you to attach your PC to your TV ,DVD Player, VCR, or Gaming Console. This lets you watch or record directly to your PC.

Here are a few so you get the idea

ATI TV WONDER PRO PCI Tuner Card
Plextor ConvertX Digital Video Converter
Pinnacle Systems Dazzle DVD Recorder

Next you will need an Gaming S-Video Cord. The S-Video Cord lets you plug your system into the capture card and also gives it better looking quality.

Here are some options on different Gaming S-Video Cords:

Psyclone PlayStation 2 S-Video Analog AV Cable
Mad Catz Universal S-Video / Audio Cable

Now all you need is a movie/video making program. There are many options you have here. Best thing to do is test a few and see which one you like and go from there.

Here are some programs you could use:

Windows Movie Maker - if you have Windows you should already have it but its a quality killer

Video Edit Magic - you'll have to find a site or person to get this from but really good program with good editting options and exellent quality

Also some Capture Cards come with there own programs so check those out.
