If so, how did you do it and how well does it work? We're hoping to make this a "poor man's GoPro"
We saved a few match videos by capturing the stream with VLC on our onboard computer. However, the quality was very poor, nothing close to what you'd get with a GoPro. Plus it lacks the cool wide-angle look.

TLDR: even a cheap, used, older GoPro will be far better if your intention is to use this as part of promotional videos, etc.
