Need to use computer screen for vcr/ps2/other things
 

Can anyone recomend some kind of adapter to turn my laptop from computer to "tv". As in I need to use it to display the images and sound my VCR and PS2 send out. They both have a red/white/yellow wire set up! Thanks!

To begin with, it's going to depend on whether or not you have a USB 2.0 or Firewire port on your laptop. If you do then you can get a USB or Firewire TV tuner card, or video capture card. If you don't have either one, or just have USB 1.1 then you're going to need a PCMCIA adapter card.

This is an example of a USB model. Since you're using a VCR and PS2 you don't need a TV tuner, just a video in.

I've got an example of a PCMCIA version that was around $40, I'll post a link when I get back to my apartment.

Wow, thats really nice buttt i dont hvae usb2.0 (excuse to buy pcmcia adapter), is there anything out there for the "old" school usb (sound too), cant find anything on bestbuy website

what are the specs of yoru computer? having a laptop will make this a bit harder then it owould be if you had a desktop computer.

Well I've searched everywhere, including my history folder, and I can't find the link for the $40 PCMCIA card. I know they exist, because I saw them but I can't find the website again. I'll keep looking for the website though.

As far as I know they don't make video inputs for USB 1.1 due to bandwidth restrictions. You just can't get good quality.
