AV Input

[WRB852]

I have an AV input on my computer. Does anyone know if I can use it with media center? Also if not, what software can I use instead?

Yes just see if your tv has the same port but as a output.
also media center os plox

Well I was planning on connecting my Xbox 360 directly to my PC, and use it from Media Center. By the way, I have Vista Home Basic.

need to upgrade to take advantage. also use ethernet to connect the 360

[WRB852]

The ethernet is connected. What do you mean by upgrade?

[Marcem]

I think he means that Home Basic doesn't have Media Center, The other Home does, I know that.

[WRB852]

But I do have Media Center...

Edit: Just checked, actually I have Home Premium.

[Marcem]

K, that should work.

Ok, so how do I set it up so I can play on my PC? The Xbox 360 is directly plugged into my PC AV input. I don't know what to do next.

1. You probably have output.
2. If it is input it will look just as stuffty as your tv without the vga adapter.
3. I don't know why you keep bringing up media center, if you want to play things from your pc to the 360 you don't need any special cable.

[WRB852]

1. It's an input.
2. I don't care if it looks as bad as my TV.
3. I want to play my Xbox on my computer monitor through the computer. I don't see what's so special about an AV cable.

[Altiarch]

How about the ability to use good resolutions instead of stuffty RCA? Your monitor will just stretch it beyond recognition. I spent $9 on the VGA cable so I could play it on my monitor. Best choice ever

what motherboard and video card do you have

Update: I got it to preview correctly when setting it up, but when I try to click next it says "IR Hardware not detected." I don't need this IR Hardware seeing as I will not need the ability to change channels. Anyone know how to disable this detection?

what motherboard and video card do you have

I have no idea what motherboard it is, it just came with my factory computer. HP m7750n is the model. My video card is an Nvidia 8800GTS with 640mb of ram.
