Xbox Display help?

Question

I want to have my xbox play on both my TV screen, and my laptop screen. How do i do that? and, if i can do that, can i record it with hypercam?

I tried hooking an S-Video cord up to the laptop and TV, but it put the laptop screen image on the TV screen.

Thanks!

There is no direct input for the laptop screen to display a picture from an external source.

What you would need is a TV/Video capture device that had a USB connection. Split the signal from the X-Box and send it to your TV and capture box at the same time.

This would probably be O.K. for making recordings of your greatest Halo kills, but I suspect that it would add a significant lag between the X-Box sending the signal and it being displayed on the laptop. That would make it very frustrating to play on the laptop screen.
