Solved Playing Xbox 360 on pc

[iBored1x1]

Alrite so i have a hdmi cable and a rca cable. I don't think the hdmi will work , my pc does have a hdmi port but i think it's only hdmi out. But i have rca slots in front of my pc and there "A/V In" so what can i use to display it?


Here's a pic of the cables im using : http://www.abacus24-7.com/productpics/XBOX-5RCA.jpg

Should be able to.

I hate the idea for me to spring for a 40$ adapter to for HDMI to DVI for my monitor.

 

[iBored1x1]

well it isn't , any ideas?

 

[iGotTheSmores]

Off the top of my head, no ideas. What model monitor do you have?

 

[iBored1x1]

im not connecting to the monitor , im connecting to the pc a/v slots.
but if you need it : HP w2007 pavilion elite m9150f wide lcd 24'' monitor.

Ohhhh, your PC. Like connecting to your capture card?

 

[iBored1x1]

eh idk...
i have a hauppage 1800 in the back of my pc but it only has audio and cable connectors. Theres a hdmi slot buts out not in.

In front theres rca , s video , usb , firewire , and audio.

Hmm, not sure you can utilize them in such a way. More PC component specific. Are you trying to playing you console using your monitor as a display? Or trying to record gameplay?

 

[iBored1x1]

record gameplay using winTV7 or windows media center.
or something like that.

I see, you may have to get a different Cap card, or get an S-video(male) to Composite(female) adapter.(StarTech.com S-Video to Composite Video Adapter Cable - Video adapter - Male 4 pin mini-DIN to FeM RCA). That leaves SD recordngs.

i messed up , i meant to say i have a composite cable and slots.

Elaborate on what you mean. Like your A/V cable for your 360 has composite? Slots?

 

[iBored1x1]

my pc has composite slots in the front and i got a xbox 360 composite cable.

 

[iGotTheSmores]

Well I am not entirely sure that you can utilize your PC Mobo slots for this purpose, but I peeped you Cap card(WinTV-HVR-1800 Product description) and it does not support composite, which is where you'll have to get a composite(Female) to S-Video(Male) adapter. Or get a different cap card (Dazzles are cheap solutions I see peeps using).

Well thanks for the support.
I decided to buy the composite->s-video adapter.
Only 7-9 business days till it's here ^-^
