Um, it depends. First and foremost, you'll need some video editing software, like Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere. This will help you get the picture-in-picture feature shown in the given video.

Then you'll want to capture the video. If you use Stepmania, this is fairly easy to do on the PC - get a program like Fraps or Camtasia Studio, or a capture card, and record it directly off the PC as you play, then string the two together. With a TV or an arcade game, you're looking at something that has "line-in/line-out" capability. A more tech-savvy person than I will be able to tell you about that.

In addition to that, your PC (if ever StepMania is going to use) must be boosted or upgraded with good memory and good video cards and good hardware acceleration as far as I know.

I really wanted to record my StepMania games especially my simfiles but damn, my PC is really a crap. It really slows down once I press the record key in Fraps.
