Hey everyone. This is my first post on Toms, so I hope you can help me out. I guess what I'm looking for is a Video Capture Card. What I want to do is plug in a component video device (my PlayStation 2) into my PC and have it displayed in a window on my desktop. I've done this before with an Xbox on a Sony Vaio desktop with incredible ease, but unfortunately the capture card in that system is proprietary and cannot be used on a different motherboard. I tried a TV Tuner card by Asus a few months ago, and i couldn't get it to work. I don't know if it was a faulty card, or if it just can't do what I'm looking for. Either way, the user interface on their software was so terrible i sent the card back for a refund.
So in short, what is the best capture card (or tuner card, if that's what i need) for the money, that I can plug a component video device into, with a simple program to display the picture on my desktop with minimal lag? I don't need a coax jack or s-video, but it wouldn't hurt.
Any comment is greatly appreciated! Thanks.
