Answer 1

Do you mean that you what to recode the game play on your PC?

If so, what you need is a screen video capture software.

I use to record WoW and NFS using TSR. Click this link to have a look

Answer 2

You need a capture card.  You can either buy an internal one, which can be found at any computer store, or you can buy an external one.  I have a Pinnacle USB device that I purchased for only $50 at the time, probably less now.  Gamebridge is also a very popular device.

As for software, you may be able to use Windows Movie Maker (I was able to do it on XP, but the vista WMM won't recognize it for some reason) or you can use Debut, which is free software.

You can either:

1) Use a camcorder.

2) Buy and install a Video Capture Card into your PC, and feed your system's audio and video cables into it, letting you play your system on your PC. Capture cards typically come with their own recording software.
