Hey there,
I just joined this site (as you can see I haven't setup my profile yet). But anyway I also have a PC TV-Tuner and I have plugged my PS2 into it before. Unfortunately, it's no good for gaming though. There is a signal delay so basically you'll hit a button on the PS2 controller but you won't see the action on the screen for another two seconds. This makes it VERY hard to play games. However, it is still good for recording video off of your PS2 games. For example, I had a friend who recorded all of the Final Fantasy X FMVs by using my PC TV Tuner. So here's how you do it: 1. In your case, you need a PS2 cable with a S-Video cable instead of the yellow cable that the Playstation 2 comes with. These are usually easy to find. 2. If your TV Tuner has 2 audio inputs (one for left and one for right) you can just plug the PS2 cable's audio cords into those. If your TV Tuner only has one audio input (usually it's a headphone-style input), you will need to get a stereo mini-to-RCA cable and plug the PS2's audio cords into one end and plug the other end into your Tuner. Like I said though, I'm pretty sure all video capture devices have a signal delay on them just because it takes time to digitize the image so it's almost useless for playing games, but it can be very helpful in recording video from a game.

Hmmm. That's interesting. I'll have to look at that Descaler program. I have a Hauppage WinTV tuner and I was just using the software it came with. I definitely have a fast enough computer (AMD 64 3200+, 2 GB RAM, 256 MB PCI-Express Video) so that shouldn't be a problem. Try shonos' suggestion, yangxu. See if it works for you.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Only Sound Blaster cards with the breakout box (or the bay drive) have inputs for those two sound leads (I think you're talking about RCA inputs). Most cards only have mini-inputs (like headphone inputs). You need to plug in the left and right leads into a RCA-to-Mini cable and plug that cable into your PC. The cable will have female RCA connections on one end (that is, they will be holes to plug into instead of actual plugs) and the other end there will be a mini-input connector. These cables are very cheap and they can be found at Radio Shack or any kind of store like that. As with almost anything, you can also buy them online.
And I know what you guys mean about the PS2 image quality. I have my Playstation 2 hooked up to an HDTV via component video (which is said to be the best analog input). It looks horrible. It makes me want to turn the game off and play my PC games more. lol. Yes, you do get better picture, but it's so good it reveals all the flaws. That 1080p Playstaion 3 can come anyday it wants. lol How ya doing, buddy? |
