    Yup, almost all laptops have HDMI OUT, not in :p

    But you can get an adapter like a Dazzle.

    I wouldn't bother. Your video/audio is going to be delayed by the encoder (either hardware or software), so you're going to have a slight lag between pressing a button on the controller and your char moving on screen.

    My friends Dazzle has a quick response time and no lag, but unfortunately the audio is mono for some reason.

    Ive played with a Pinnacle tv tuner that has an rca adapter. Plays with a half second delay that you would usually find on a signal being processed through a digital tv display.

    Was bearable for recording though you only get 640x480 res. HDMI recorders are very expensive I have not looked in awhile but last I saw I only saw desktop cards.
