video capture?

[boris_37]

okay i've been pondering the idea for some time now... but just never thought to do anything.

Well i want to play my ps2 on my pc (as i wanna watch tv as well) but i tried to ask someone before but they either didn't understand or something i forget.

So how would i do this? I know most(if not all) video cards have video out, but how would i run video in so that i can just run my ps2 off the s-vid hookup directly into my, or a different card.

I'm all kinda new to this... so im not sure if it's even possible... either way thanks for the help.

If you have a VIVO card, you could use the video in. The main problem with Video In solutions on PCs is the lag. Usually around 1-2sec. If you dont have a VIVO card, you would need a video capture card, such as the Hauppauge PVR-150.

hmmm... okay im too lazy to go buy a new video card. Any adapter that i could just run cables directly to my monitor? :D
