Composite Video to USB...
« on: April 22, 2007, 06:49:41 AM »

Has anybody experience with something like this?
It's a Composite Video-to-USB adapter. I was mulling over getting something similar to enable playing the XboX via my laptop; which has no video input at all. I'm curious as to it's performance for gameplay, though.
Anybody?

I have something similar which I use for decoding old videos. It works ok but is not very fast. So gameplay performance will be limited I think.

A gamer I know very well uses that device to indulge his substantial Xbox Live habit, and is quite happy with it. The performance depends on the PC and the imaging software. The device merely digitizes the signal, and has, as far as I can determine, no appreciable latency.
