Hooking up 360 to lap top via DVI to HDMI?

Most or all laptops I know of have a video out, but not a video in. so you hooked the DVI out of the G4 to the HDMI out of the Xbox. Gonna go out on a limb here and say this is not possible.

All xbox cables are for output. And I have yet to see a laptop that had built in input for video.

I've got one of THESE and it works ok for what it is.

Once again, the basic question asked. Does your laptop have a video input? If so provide the type and we can go from there.

Chances are a generic video capture solution (like Pinnacle's products) will not be OK for the Xbox, unless you're just looking to record video played from the Xbox. There will be a slight delay while the video capture hardware (better) or software (worse) processes the video signal, so what you'd be looking at on screen may have happened a 1/2 second ago in the game - not good for most games.

That Gamebridge that dogmanky posted, as a dedicated solution for $20, seems like it may be your best bet if he thinks it's workable.

I got a tv input card for an old computer once and hooked a Game Cube to it. There was enough of a delay that games were not playable.

Oh no don't get that! I use something just like that to record games I play and its impossible to play watching from the laptop trust me I've tried. There is a huge delay so for example you press a button on your controller and like 2 secs later it does it on the laptop. Unless there is some way around this that I don't know about.

i realize this post is old, but bear with me.

did anyone pick up the adaptec gamebridge and never use it? i cant find one anymore, and i'm looking to pick up a used one from someone who doesnt use theirs.
