| | lag with xbox360 games I use the Windows Media Center to watch TV on my computer and it works great, but since I have upgraded to Vista I have been having lag issues when I plug in my Xbox360 and try to play a game on my pc. For example, when I press a button there is a 2 second delay until that action takes place. Is there anyway to get rid of this besides pluggin my Xbox into a regular TV? |

The time it takes to digitize the video/audio from your cable box or in this case, XBOX, is about 1-3 seconds. You cannot game this way. You might be able to find a program for your computer that simply dumps video to a window through your TV Tuner card, that should get the delay down a bit, but you'll still notice a slight delay. So to answer your question, you have to plug your XBox into your TV. You can't run a video game through a post processor or a DVR like Windows Media Center, Tivo, etc. Welcome to the digital age. I have an old DELL monitor that has component inputs as well as VGA inputs, I use that with my 360, you can display one or the other, but not both at the same time. -A. |
