Recording my Xbox 360S through my computer and to my monitor. Possible?

[Agret_Brisignr]

Forgive my ignorance, but I am in need of assistance. Im trying to avoid buying a capture card.

If at all possible, could I use this setup to record my monitor with content from my Xbox :

Xbox> HDMI> ComputerTower> VGA> Monitor

My Xbox is connected to my tower through HDMI, and I want to run that signal through my VGA from my computer to my monitor. (My monitor only has a VGA hookup) Would I be able to go back and forth fairly easily? A second monitor and another VGA perhaps?

Im not too sure what Im doing, and I usually wing things and see if they work. They usually dont, and some help would be very much appreciated!

No, that HDMI on your computer is for OUTPUT only. You need a capture card to accomplish what you're trying to do - there's no way around it.

It would require an HDMI input which only a capture card is going to have. Your computers HDMI is most likely output only.

Alright, thank you!
