Yes but the analog hole is closed for the most part for HD. Besides high-end super expensive devices (true movie pirates aiming for illegal activities), there is no way to use component for HD recording. You would need to re-encode the screen captures back to some format (MPEG2, VC-1, DIVX-HD, etc) but I bet the results would still look fantastic, considering how clean a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray image coming off a disc *should* be. Probably much better than broadcast quality HD.
Getting the sound sync'd back perfectly seems like the hard part.
