Play Xbox on Macbookpro and ACD

Hi there,
This will work on all MAC's

I spent hours and days reading countless threads in forums on how i could use my Macbook Pro and Apple Cinema Display as a monitor for my xbox!

Lots of people have said that this is not possible or that you will have to spend hundreds of pounds!! NOT TRUE!

After reading loads of threads i bought the Elgato EyeTv Hybrid recommended by many! When this arrived the setup was easy and i was very surprised with the result, unfortunately when i tried to play the new COD Black ops, the Hybrid was not compatible with PAL 60 making it quite useless for new games!

SO this is how i did it!!

I bought the EasyCap DC60+ for just under £20, plugged it in, and downloaded a program called Videoglide Capture, i had to play with the settings but now i can play the my new Xbox 360 slim on my apple cinema display at PAL 60 allowing me to play black ops with
