Yes that would work too.I was thinking of using a standard dvd recorder and doing like one would record a tv show. but it would be nice to rip the video directly from the disc so i could edit it.
There might be a way to avoid analogue losses, but it's a bit fiddly. Looking at www.pcsx2.net, it seems that an emu has been developed that will play some commercial games, albeit very slowly at 1-2 fps. Now if it will play the required cut scenes elements, you could screencap, then speed up to make a video. You would then have a direct digital source to work with.
Actually, I'd still go with the DVD recorder option - if you want to retain your sanity!
