This fall I am headed off to college and I am looking to bring as little as possible. This means finding a way to hook up my Nintendo Wii to my laptop. Does anyone know of a good device (with little to no video lag, I know a way around audio lag) that will allow me to hook up my wii to my laptop? Unfortunately my TV tuner has a 2-3 second lag so hooking it up via a coaxial cable converter won't work (I have already tried). The best thing I can find is the Gamebridge but many people have complaints about it so I am looking for an alternative. I also have Vista so it helps if the device is Vista Compatible. Any suggestions will help.

Thank you for your time,
