Gamecube/Xbox to Laptop

[pdemitra38]

Is there any way I can hook up my Gamecube or Xbox to my Sony Vaio???? I know how to hook it up to the TV so I can watch DVDs and what not. Would I have to buy something to do this?

I need your guys help ASAP Thanks

Anyone??? I got the sound working but it is distorted. I also hooked up the video into the "video in" or whatever slot but I cannot find a player that will play the video

What video player will work?

I have no idea but try to go to their website, www.nintendo.com or www.sony.com and e-mail their help desks.

Thats a good question My girlfriend just bought a new Sony Vaio about a month ago and I've played around with it quite a bit. She has the Athlon 1.4GHz model with a mobile ATI 8MB video card and 256MB DDR RAM. Well, I've hooked it up TO the TV many times but never from a console to the laptop. Your in luck though, cause I bought her the Nintendo Gamecube for her as a Christmas present last year. I dont think there is a VIDEO IN on the inputs on the back and thats the problem were going to run into. I "think" it's only an output.

Tell ya what, I'm going to her house over the weekend, so if nobody has a reply for ya by then...I'll hook it up and see what I can do. i should have an answer in a few days. If it does work as an input, I'll list the needed video player also.

I took a quick look at the laptop/gamecube situation this afternoon and I'm pretty sure that its only a video OUTPUT, as far as I know, there isnt any way to hook the Gamecube console to a laptop. Sorry

hmmmm....so why did sony include a couple of DV capturing programs. It does not have 1394 firewire or anything
