I bought what's called a game bridge off of woot a year or so ago, and it mostly does the trick. Essentially, it's just a USB TV tuner card, but I don't have a problem with delat. However, I have never been able to get the sound working under Ubuntu, but I admit this could be because of my sound configuration, and not due to the game bridge hardware. I've never had need to investigate further, so I can't say.

if you are attempting to use a gaming console on your monitor you can usually buy a VGA cable for the console and use that. do NOT use a TV tuner if you want to play games, because the delay time is to much (at least in my experience).

For example, hook up my Wii, and then have the video from that show up in a window (or fullscreen), so that I can use my monitor instead of my TV, and I can take screenshots of it. If this is possible, what kind of hardware would I need to take a video-in signal, and what programs would be able to have it stay in a window and/or run it in fullscreen? Also, potentially, record video. I've seen some distros that are made to function as DVRs/media devices, but I'd prefer to keep my Ubuntu install that I have now. I've seen some talk of setting up TV tuners, but those seem to just receive broadcast signals, which isn't really what I'm looking for. _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug@kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
