Connect Playstation directly to PC
Is there a way to directly connect my PS2 directly to my PC? I would imagine the use of an S-video cable would come into play. So can play my PS2 on my PC using the monitor as output? I have a ATI 9800xt.

Thank you Ron D, but I've actually seen that, and the reason that doesn't address my specific needs is because that seems to be talking about a *network* connection, whereas for me, I'm simply looking to connect it with a *video connection*, for the lack of a better term. Not sure if this can be done, but just checking with the experts.
You'd need a video capture device, such as this one:
Dazzle Digital Video Creator 80
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5870649&type=product&id=1069297834888
That device allows you to to connect a standard RCA plug or S-Video plug, and then connect it to your computer via USB.
The ATI Radeon 9800XT may have an S-Video port on the back, but it is for output only. That particular card has no Input interfaces at all. As such, there is no way to input a signal directly into your video card.

I am using a toshiba p25 with no vga input, only out. I tried the ATI tv wonder usb2 but it has a lag. I would like to use jmtyra's suggestion but as I said I only have VGA out. How can I fix this?
