Hi, i wonder if you can do like a print screen?
I believe you need to hook you 360 up to a PC to do screen captures and video's.
I am sure itsmyyard has done this before.
I use basic software to do it and a device called "Dazzle", you hook up your scart to it and it connects Via USB, using a splitter to send the signal to your TV, you simply click it to record as you play on the TV, screenshots can be made of the footage you've captured.
It is fairly low quality though considering it is scart.

I see, is there a quick way to do this by buying a specific cable to connect the two?
Not to my knowledge, sorry, all I know is Dazzle.

Quality is like this:

Taken from the gamecube, obviously.

Ah, also i was considering, is there a way to adjust a phone camera to take photos on tv? Like removing those black lines passing through or sharpening the screen?
That would simply be image editing and enhancing, if you want a good shot of the TV I recommend a camera, not a phone, Dark room to prevent glare, no flash, turn down the brightness a fair bit on the TV and take a photo, it's trial and error to get the settings correct.
As for the software, all you have to do is crop the black lines off (Even MS Paint can do this...) and use any of the tools to sharpen, soften, et cetera until it looks good.
Software I use now to record videos now is the Hauppauge HD PVR. Its brilliant quality and takes pretty much every input bar HDMI cables but it'll set you over £150.

It was mentioned that you can remove these black lines in paint with crop, how is this done?
