hook up the PC to a TV so you can play games on your big screen, record MPEGs from your TV to your hard drive. Stuff like that.

Put video into your computer, and make video come out of your computer to your TV.

Video In = camcorders
Video Out = VCR

I watch my TV/VCR/DVD and play my PS2 on my 18 inch LCD monitor because of the VIVO. With 3 computers and a small room I had no place for a TV set.

I thought the Radeons all had video input.

They all have video out, not in. Only the radeon DV series have VIVO

haha, I thought the same thing. Gotta be more specific. VIVO was the shnitz to download and see porn with about five years ago. Horrible by today's standard. They're rare, but you can actually still find VIVO movies on the internet. I have Power VIVO (the player) around here on disc somewhere...hopefully where I'll never find it again.

vivo porn rocked...


a bit choppy... but still fappable...


i still remember the CPU Hoggyness of it, plus the fact that it went out of sync quite often.

 

[MrDudeMan]

so would VIVO be ok to hook up my n64 to my computer?
