How to Use Your Mac's Screen as a Gaming Display

[MultiViZioNz]

there's no color on my screen

[ZBL1996]

If you were playing cod you could zoom in the screen so its just the mini map haha

[DaFunzies]

wait, so can you see what you're playing on the tv?

[GamingEasy]

But, what if you have an HDMI cable?

[808Aljon]

lost my cd for easycap :[ do you know where to get the installation for it?

[Jross8880]

@808Aljon torrent it



[808Aljon]

@Jross8880 can you send me a link or something im not too good with computers

[Jross8880]

@808Aljon download a client callled utorrent just google it and then go to a site called the piratebay and download the installation for it

[biggsrupp]

im buying this with my bday money!

[left4newbzTWO]

THANK U A TON!

[gugamovies]

nice video man, really made everything simple. one question though: I have a ps3 so i'd have to use a hdmi not a composite cable, will this work with an adapter?

[MegaAwsomeName]

really good video. thanks :)

[chrisxtacos]

i need to get my xbox back:/

[xMizeRyzHD]

the device i use doesnt have the timeshift option :(

[jaimovietrailers]

does this work on pc?

[AstraeosProductions]

I have a ps2 trying to connect to MacBook Pro running OSX 10.5.8 what other cables are needed?

[dnyank1]

@AstraeosProductions What you need is a capture card. On amazon, look for Geniatech iGrabber One Touch, it's 35 bucks, and the quality is SUPERB. I love it. You use the yellow white and red cables you hook the ps2 into the TV with on your computer.

[jumpingpanduh]

does anybody know if i can use an HDMI cable to plug into my laptop then plug in my xbox to my tv then on my laptop will capture the video?

[dnyank1]

@jumpingpanduh thats not the way I'd do it. I would hook the HDMI to your TV, and use the video out (which would be composite or component) to a capture card on your computer. HDMI capture cards are laggy and VERY expensive.

[DrAimazing]

How do I hook up the eyetv to an iGarabber. When setting up, there is no option for it

[DrAimazing]

you can also use the iGrabber



[TryHardSpartan117]

What kind of cable is the one from the xbox.

[Pokywig]

@TryHardSpartan117: Its the standard cable you get with your xbox i think.

[TriggerTickle]

I have a regular macbook with 10.5.8. How good/bad will the quality be if I run my xbox 360? i noticed you had a macbook pro.

[MicDrg]

@TriggerTickle its the same i got them both and they both work pretty good but if u want better quality you gotta get a desktop

[DiamondChestplate]

my iMac is bigger than my tv

[MicDrg]

@DiamondChestplate congratulations?

[DiamondChestplate]

@MicDrg lol

[fatefire56]

Thumbs up if ur watching this in anything but a mac

[XZMDragon]

what kind of usb cable did you use

[slazaro94]

is there a cheaper USB cable? please tell me there is??? :(

[jacketnipple]

GET A USB TO HDMI CABLE. way better

[TheTwoEwoks]

@jacketnipple Does that even exist?

[jacketnipple]

@TheTwoEwoks yeah just google it or look on new egg, a little expensive though :/ might as well just go for the display port really.. actually I think thats a video out only slot so probably not

[FutureInventions]

@TheTwoEwoks Of course!

[dumassdslxc]

you sound like the guy who does tha voice over for apple 

[keybladeninja2010]

will the newer model work too?

[CallofDutyBeas1]

@TryhardSpartan117 so is there a way to download eyetv 3??

[kilme39]

Sounds great but $150 doesn't seem like its worth it. Although it is like a HDPVR so its kind of a win win if your looking to play your xbox on your mac and record gameplay.

[CallofDutyBeas1]

does hauppauge come with the program??

[TryHardSpartan117]

@CallofDutyBeas1 no

[keat43]

Hauppauge is way cheaper on amazon.

[CODvideoPRODUCTIONS]

can u get that at like radio shack or somtehing?

[LeVancie]

@CODvideoPRODUCTIONS Apple Store sells EyeTV's.

[CODvideoPRODUCTIONS]

@LeVancie problem...... ITS 150 BUCKS!!!!!!! no way

[drwowdrummer]

nice

[iRwatching]

Well i would like to play my games on my mac and record it, i think i will look for a cheaper way. Though this video is very helpful! I just want to see if theres anything cheaper first.

[Opiatist]

Awesome dude! Really Awesome!! Thanks For Sharing. But I notice that the screen quality isnt so great. is their a setting for it to fix it?

[zziRedzz]

This only works i have my settings on PAL 50 please help??

[BreezyCheeks1]

i saw something like this for $8 on amazon lol im so not paying $130 for this

[MrTrollkisser]

@BreezyCheeks1 what was it?

[BreezyCheeks1]

@MrTrollkisser lol i dont remember now

but its probably made cheaply and most likely wont work as well as the name brand

[shubimbi77]

is there any way to do this with a Hauppage HD PVR?

[TheRandomIphone]

Is it high resolution? or is it crap u quality and laggy?

[skullcru5her100]

Can someone tell me where to buy this USB thing in Canada

[MrTrollkisser]

@skullcru5her100

google it.

ebay it.

amazon.

penis.

vagina.

[ODrizy]

i have 2 questions....

one: what type of capture card is this (with the usb card and 3 av input things)

two: is there any other types of capture cards like this that are good quality and very low cost 

[victorcaracci]

like to talk?

[victorcaracci]

is there anyway to plug a headset in?

[MrFilipinoNick]

@victorcaracci With my Astro A30s you just use an optical cable and plug it in the xbox

[MovieDigitalUK]

does this work for the imac 21"??

[MingRoseC]

When you play on the computer does it look blurry? Does it look HD like it would on TV?

[tetification]

@MingRoseC He said that it doesnt look HD, but the picture is pretty good.

[davdd1032]

I was also wondering whether the current EyeTV Hybrid was as good for gaming as this one is.

Thanks

[davdd1032]

I can't find it anywhere. does anyone know where I can buy it?

[tetification]

@davdd1032 You can buy it at Amazon.com. I just saw it.

[mackin2029]

@davdd1032 bestt buy

[davdd1032]

@mackin2029 I already checked : /

[RaaHello]

At the price of the eyeTV hybrid i might as well just buy a TV!

[ripLasher45]

hey does this work for ps3 and ps2 and wii

[proGaming34]

how do you record?

[lidodews]

can you record the gaming???

[Whitedusk225]

@lidodews Yeah. All you gotta do is get a video of the screen. Badaboom badabing.

[turretguy36]

@lidodews if you have quicktime media player, you can. search up how to do a screen recording with it

[ContactGam1ng]

every time i find somthing that could be usefull like this, its always out of stock or never coming back or discontinued.

[DDDitchers]

can i do this to use a laptop as a monitor for my pc?

[ThENoOB236]

Do i hear PS3?

[wemakepies]

Can it go HD?

[ripLasher45]

also does the hauppauge one have better hd or what

[ripLasher45]

what is the name of the cable your using that has the small looking usb on the end of it

[Z3R0Xify]

Please reply quickly as i'm going off to uni...

1} Whats the cable used to plug the xbox into the tuner

2} Will this work for PC

3} Are there any cheaper tuners that come with the cable in 1}

Thanks

[wrathallll]

the xbox video quality is horrible

[NorwegianAppletard]

@wrathallll I would rather say its descent, considering its conected to a laptop, and that in itself is just freaking awesome! :D

[ceergbo]

fck sake man u immature

[darcyoz1]

when i plug mine in it won't recognise it. i am running lion 10.7.1

[MAXIMILL1AN]

Does anyone know if u can use a haupagge hd pvr ?? set it up to the computer ? Thanks :)

[mrKJARF]

do the av cables come with the eye tv thing from amazon?

[PruHvEnT1]

what the other cable u have called? besides the chip

[spukduk5632]

How is the video quality?

[SpiritoChris]

Can you record gameplay action on your mac once you've done this?  If so how?

[sidewayzz49]

Does the extinction cable come with the purchase of the usb plug in thing

[conorchaney]

Hey, Huskermania. A few questions. Firstly, do you have to apply all these changes each time you want to play your xbox or are they saved? Is the out put that you get in HD quality? Also is it easy to record your gameplay with a screen recorder?

[spukduk5632]

does all the cables come with it?

[UNDERCOVERcar0t]

i think you can go on to your xbox 360's video settings and change the aspect ratio to 16:9. Then you can do the same on the eye tv hybrid. So when you change the aspect ratio on the eye tv hybrid to 16:9 it doesn't cut off the bottom of the screen.

[allandude92]

thumbs up if you watched this inn a mac

[dagr8master]

@allandude92 MacBook pro

[FuckingWithAndrew]

@allandude92 haha i did yayyy haha

[NorwegianAppletard]

@allandude92 haha I dont really see why someone with a pc would watch this, when there is a link to the pc version in the description ^^

[ToxicClanXx]

[TechnoRaver39]

[DrewWannazBoyer]

[UCAphantom]

[SamsterXL]

How much for à hauppauge 1145 mytv HD??

[deanceltics]

/watch?v=rixP83tPtyU

[Qazi4000]

Can you use this on a Ibook G3??

[60wndSe7en2]

Having your xbox 360 like that on that kind of floor, doesn't give enough room to flow. sorry for my englis

[Niko80674]

@huskermania can i use this on a 24" imac?

[hirschman23]

Btw awesome video.

[hirschman23]

Is there a component version?

[biggsrupp]

do you need any software

[biggsrupp]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH i haven't done it yet but i know it will work

[SystemFreaKk13]

Does the Hauppage have more than just the Yellow Red and White input? Like maybe the rest of the component cables (Green, Red, and Blue i think)? Because it says HD TV, which would be sweet

[anthonyf51094]

This is absolutely perfect for making let's plays.

[moronomon777]

I'll be picking up the eyetv hybrid later this week to play ps2 in college. I was wondering if you've had problems with it running hot. Many reviews complain that it stops working after a few weeks. I suspect that these individuals run the eyetv non-stop for tv and recording, which would burn it out after extended periods of time, as it does heat up after a while. So, what have your sessions of use been like? Do you have any problems with overheating? thanks a lot :)

[latag1993]

does this have any negative effects on you mac? like mess up the video card?

[dano9094]

@latag1993 no negative effects. unless working from battery. then battery goes flat really quick.

[qqqqqq582]

@latag1993 No.



[TheDarkAce1171]

thank you so much =]

[yoyopeanutbutter]

what if... i use a DVI to Hdmi?? so i hook up my ps3 HDMI to MAc dvi?? if i can do that what program can i use to get that working??

[spukduk5632]

can i do this with the playstation 3?

[biggsrupp]

@spukduk5632 yes

[JAHnoOtoko]

Great video, keep up the good work!

What if I am not interested in TV but just in the A/V input, is there a cheaper option?

Thanks in advance!

[deon1717]

can you do this on the imacg4? I know its older but im wondering.

[moronomon777]

would this work on my macpro if I wished to connect a psp to display that visual to my mac for some less stress on my eyes?? Please let me know.

[MrMikeymo8]

thanks quality tutorial, but EyeTV's are so expensive

[ErKz94]

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO THIS ON EYETV HD 3.5.2 ?

[ModernTechnologyShow]

I used to do this with black ops and it worked fine. Just went back to do it and record and now its saying i can't play black ops in PAL 50 when i have been.

[kaBl3iii]

how much was the hybrid and can u recdord gameplay with it

[03oliwri]

lol macs now have games 

[Nk19998]

How do u make it not lag on the eye tv hd? Plz someone help me!!

[TryHardSpartan117]

I love you

[BHMMproductions]

why is it sooo expensive!! damn.

[TechWeKnow]

Is there a way to do it with HD quality

[BathingApeCOD]

Is the picture quality good for using this as a gaming display?

like or is it pixely ?

and how much did this cost? :D

[FrozenBacon33]

Do you need to download a software or get a cd or something?

[mechmechanic788]

hey bro, will this work for PS3 as well. and is it possible for the PS3 to use the internet via laptop?

[mechmechanic788]

hey can you do a Mac with a PS3 if possible because that would be really really great :)

[Nk19998]

Does this send in HD quality? or can I just record in HD with a screen recording app on my mac and it will look nice? with the eye tv hybrid

[BatmanHDify]

is there a connector for HD ?

[FallenKingKong]

Is the quality always this bad?

[yashb94]

@FallenKingKong No its not dude. The quality just LOOKS bad because he is using a screen recorder side by side.

[Armaangandevia1]

late night youtube vid ha 11:30 :P nice

[kkwongish]

search this product on Amazon...i don't know if it works or not, but if it works..then i would be a better choice "Geniatech iGrabber One Touch Video Grabber For MAC and PC"

[WheatMuncheR]

I've only got the EyeTV Diversity, would this work as well if i get the extension cable of the internet and would the picture quality be any good on a 27inch?

Cheers

[xXDylanPriceXx]

just one thing. the quality BLOWS!

[DARKSEID1236]

does the Xbox controller hook right up to the laptop wirelessly?

[dalynthesk8r]

@DARKSEID1236 What no its for the XBOX

[maxibonds3]

i have a imac osx10 or somthing...im wondering instead of eyetv could i use easy cap because eyetv are tooo expensive.

[hpsaucelovesyourmom]

[SwimStar0516]

[mrbeastmode32493]

Perfect video. Helped me out alot. Thanks. (:

[Bogusburger]

If ur computer lags when u play normal games on it will it still lag when u play xbox games on it?

[chub229622]

holy fucking shit u are so helpful <33333 no homo thou

[yusukeaoki1234]

they dont come with the extension cable huh...

[MrsRoxanne1989]

i use the hd pvr, and theres no box of enabling timeshaft for that device, so it still lags :( what can i do?

[Galleons]

eye tv is rip off, there must be cheaper solutions

[nozzertistudios]

Shit those things are expensive!!! :(

[velcroboy60000]

@nozzertistudios Well, the top one is a crazy 130 some bucks... but the lower one looks like it's less than $10. And judging by the video, I think I can do without streaming the content to my iPod touch... :P

[ChuuninKid]

Does the newer version of the EyeTV Hybrid also work in the same way? And can it record the gameplay when you use it?

[songofwendy]

@ChuuninKid if you have a Mac, use Snapz Pro x and use the movie function. It works great if you cannot afford a CaptureCard

[HappyMacBookPro]

i can get a tv for the price of the tuner shit

[theskyrocker123]

how much do the usb things cost?

[misfitting]

so would i be able to hook a snes up to this?

[The0ldFamilyClan]

you need a tv for this ? (sory for the bad english i'm italian :)

[phoenix90th]

will it work on imac as well?

[hermetcrab45]

are you a husker fan

[MININUT15]

too expensive get a capture card better quality same price

[Detonaterman]

I can´t play online on the ps3 :(
