hook a wii to a computer or portable dvd player...? - The Dead Rose i have dozens of cable, i have many viewing things, but my computer had a bigger screen than my tv so... also.. i need it in my room, downstairs i kept coming home to a little sibling having crashed it, so, i have a GPX portable dvd player model # PD708B which is shown here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3712938&CatId=1703 and i have 3 cables that seem to be the same as they say i need, but i can only just get audio, there's always a buzzing sound, and the screen stays blue, is it b/c its analog or digital signal? i also have a Sony DCR-TRV280 Digital8 Handycam Camcorder : http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DCR-TRV280-Digital8-Handycam-Camcorder/dp/B0007M3PJO i am able to get the wii to show up on the screen, but it' so small and it goes to sleep so often, and i try to firewire to the computer, but then it cancels the streaming from the plug, so plz help me, I don't want o have to buy any special cables, otherwise i wouldn't be asking, would i?

Best Answer: well, the thing is, that you need certain cables in order to do this. First, you wont be able to plug it into the portable DVD player, so just forget about that. The computer screen is your best bet. In order to do that, you will need either an S-video input on your computer OR a Wii VGA cable...if you don't have those things, then patching it thru your Handycam via firewire is the only other way - tho it is very inefficient as you have found out. sorry, but there is no easy fix. I know it seems like you should be able to do it easily because there are screens all over your room (dvd player, computer, handycam) but just because there are tons of screens, doesnt mean they can have any type of video input... edit: something like this would work to...this will allow you to plug your wii into your computer screen... http://www.amazon.com/VGA-Monitor-Input-Convertor-Selector/dp/B000JCLLUW - john n
