Connecting my Xbox to my Computer.

[NoSurrender]

Hey all ive got a Radeon 8500DV 64mb and it comes with this http://buy.ati.com/shopati/product.a...c=&country=USA so i figured that i could connect my Xbox to this and run it off my monitor(this is my alt. comp and this is the only way i can connect to live.) Can Anyone help?

Well... you will only be able to connect your video, not audio. If you want to connect audio you will need to get an adapter thing that will convert the RCA XBox audio output jacks into a stereo miniplug. (2 RCA to 1 Stereo miniplug adapter). Then you need to hook that stereo plug up to your Line-In port on your computer.

Now I'm guessing that adapter converts RCA plugs to S-Video, which you can then plug into your vid card (which I'm assuming has a TV/AUX IN port). So, all you need to do is connect the video plug from your XBox into that adapter, and the S-Video end of the adapter into your video cards TV/AUX IN port. You should then be able to get your XBox to display onto your screen using your video cards software.
