Hey guys, I've never played with capture devices before so I had a general question.
I don't have a regular TV right now so I wanted to try out using my PC as such. Not for cable TV or whatever, but for capture. Namely I wanted to see if I could hook my regular DVD player up to it (so composite input) and I also want to hook my old Super Nintendo up to it. And I have an RF adapter for that.
I can get like a Pinnacle AV/DV or whatever at Newegg but can such a device work for this? I mean, I don't want JUST a capture device, where all it can do it record input that I see in a tiny preview window. Or can ANY capture card function as a TV and just display a video window with whatever input is coming in?
A little insight from those who already traveled this road would be appreciated. So what's the best way to hook my standard DVD player and RF SNES to my PC?
Thanks
