Screen capture for 486sx win 3.1/dos?

I have an old Packard Bell 486 SX that has windows 3.1 and dos 6.0 installed. I use this system to play old DOS games that I still enjoy. But I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for capturing video of these games.

Yes, I know I can use Dosbox but I have my reasons for not doing so. Considering this, does anyone know how to capture movie files on this system AND be able to export them to a modern machine?

A tall order, I know.

there are many ways to do it. For example, get a VGA to s video adapter, run the monitor to adapter to video camera, record, dump to new computer.
Does the modern machine have a video in port already? Skip the camera and dump direct.
The more details you can provide, the better than answer we can give, but suffice it to say, yes, its very possible.
