Hi

If I undertsand what you mean, then your TV has a VGA port, correct? And do you use this to view your PC on your TV or does the TV output from the VGA port?

The only way I thought that you could record TV to PC is using a Capture card with the correct inputs that corrospond to your TV.

There are many variations, a simple USB version like this has 2 x Audio, Composite Video and SVHS Inputs:

Yea Capture card is the way to go. You can buy that external one, or a physical card for your pc.

To ones Like this Hauppage WinTv PVR 350 which is internal.

i have a media center pc and it came with a video card that plays realtime tv .hooked up cable to my pc and it plays. can even record up to 78 hours of tv

Yea, thats a media center pc though... You can also watch tv, and browse the internet on your xbox. I have a media center pc + tv tuner card in one of my pc's.

I believe this problem stems from the fact that cainhunpi has no capture card...

Let me rephrase what I said.

I play on gamebattles and i wanted to record the matches on my pc.

is the capture card the easiest way to go?


Thanks

Yeah, that will be the easiest way to go. Personally, I like video capture devices from Hauppage, but the one that was pictured above should work fine for that purpose.
