Playing video-games on PC.

**Video_freak** · November 24th, 2006, 03:44

My PC has multiple composite and s-video inputs. Using Windows Movie Maker, I can play my video-games on screen using the streaming feature, but it's only a small portion of the screen. Does anyone know of an application that will let me stream the video full screen? And no, I can't Media Center to do that.

Any help would gladly be appreciated.

hmm, i remember trying to do this before, but im not sure what program you're supposed to use, have you tried to google it?

Yes, I've tried Googling it. I usually try to figure things out on my own, but I just can't figure this one out. :-/
bump...
Please, if anyone knows a solution, post.

Are you trying to play, say an XBOX for example, on your PC? I don't know of any applications to do that, but I bought a TV card for my PC, and I also have a video card that has it built in. This is basically what I have, just mine's older.

Yes, I'm trying to play my consoles (such as XBOX, Gamecube, Dreamcast, etc.) How do you do it then?

I have a TV PCI card for my PC, so I just plug my VCR into it, and I can play consoles and watch TV and whatnot through that. If you can't find a program to do it, I definitely recomend one. I bought mine over a year ago, and it was $50, so I'm sure it's cheaper now. I'm pretty sure Best Buy will have them.

What brand of input card do you have? you say your PC has multiple composite and s-video inputs. That is extremely odd. Are you sure they are inputs and not outputs? Otherwise whatever programs that came with the device should allow for tv input.

Well, one of my composite inputs came built into the PC (it's an HP m7640n). The other is the TV tuner card that has FM radio, TV screw in (coxial or something like that), and composite inputs that also came with the PC (not an extra option I chose) but looks like it could be a different brand. And I know for a fact that these are all inputs, for I have no composite outputs.

Oh, and I use Media Center to watch TV through the TV screw in input.
