Best Answer: I think pretty much every single manufacturer eliminated the video out jack on a TV years ago. It was to make it harder to record things (like say a DVD player onto a VHS when the technology was just coming out). The audio out jacks remain so that you can still fire off the audio to a receiver if you want. Though usually that would be taken from a device instead of the TV, they're leaving it there if you're using the internal tuner and a receiver. If you're willing to deal with a slightly downgraded image, you could just use the Xbox 360 in SD. So run the yellow cable into a VCR or DVD recorder along with the red/white audio cables. Then run the video out from the VCR/DVD Recorder into your TV. It won't be HD, but it ought to still work for you. If you're looking to record this onto a computer, then perhaps get a VCR/DVD player with multiple outputs. So you run the Xbox into the player. Then run one line out to the TV and the other line out to the computer. Not sure it will output to 2 different sources simultaneously though, at least not on a lot of consumer level models. But you could try that as well. - jf
