You'll need a PC solution that can accept and save video footage from a gaming console or video camera. You should also guarantee that it does not skip, lag, or freeze. Which of the following would BEST fit your needs?

A webcam would be the most inefficient and difficult solution, and FireWire would not meet recent systems's required speed. While screen-capture software may work, installing a capture card as a discrete (external) unit or in a PCIe slot on a motherboard is the ideal approach. The capture card can reduce part of the processor's workload, making the video less likely to skip, lag, or freeze.
