The short, sweet answer is no. When filming at gaming conventions, there are certain things we as the press are and are not allowed to do. If we were to publish your video via gamrTV, then those rules would apply. The vast majority of publishers do not allow off-screen recording, which is pointing a camera - no matter how hi-def - at a screen and recording footage. They feel it doesn't properly portray the graphics or in the case of an early build, could reveal glitches that haven't been ironed out.

They do allow off-screen recording if it's in the background while filming an interview, however.

Screenshots fall under the same umbrella. We can't take off-screen photos and post them as screenshots. They have to be released by the developer/publisher or taken with a video capture device.

If you or anyone has further questions about this subject or would like to contribute video content to gamrTV, please email me at carnone@vgchartz.com.
