So recently I bought a cheap Wii,and I didn't really like playing it on my TV and my pc monitor didn't have the right inputs to support wii. After a bit of reasearch I found out that it could work on my pc ,if I would stream the video through a tv tuner card or a capture card or something similar like that. I had an old Dazzle dvc100 card laying around and after a bit more of research I found out that it can be used to stream to my pc and record video via software like pinacle or some other video recording software,but they are mostly designed in a way ,that you are supposed to play your console on a tv,because the picture that is streamed on pc is too small and just difficult too use.
And now I'm here. I was wondering - is there any software that would let me play the console(using my Dazzle card) on my pc ,that would actually look decent and be playable ,without recording getting in the way?
I hope this post made some sense.
Thanks in advance!

Wii's maximum resolution is 480p. That's probably why you're seeing a small window using your capture card. You won't be able to increase the resolution, buy you should be able to scale the image up to fill your screen. I believe the Wii also has an HDMI output adapter you can buy.

Well,there isn't anything official,so I was thinking of using the dazzle card and I'm not sure about what software to use,but thanks anyway.
