Game Plugs

Can I plug in a game system into my Hp Pavilion Media Center m8430f PC?

When I got this computer I noticed there was an input connection for av wires on the front and also s-video port as well. I want to know if there is a way to connect my nintendo wii onto this computer and play it (and possibly record my gameplay) My computer has windows vista home premium 64bit OS Thanks

1. You might be able to if you have a program that captures the video from the ports on the front of your computer. Give it a try. Try to look up for capture programs that are free. Sadly Windows Movie Maker version for Vista no longer supports the use of analog video capturing.
2. Your WII would not be compatible with your PC. The user documentation on the internet, link below, indicates that the Wii should be connected to a TV or to a VCR or a DVR. The second link is to the advanced setup guide. It does not indicate any capture capability with your model PC. I would take a look at some of the newer graphics cards that come with TV capture capability. Try ATI or Nvidia.
3. I too had this on a desktop of mine. I used a bunch of different capturing programs. But there is like a 6 second lag. So you will most likely need to by a gaming recorder specifcally ment for that.
