Do you know anything about video capturing/editing? I can use some help...

I bought a Belkin VideoBus II off of eBay for $0.99. Considering it retails for $99, I considered it a good deal. It doesn't come with the included software though, but I was able to get the drivers from Belkin's website.

I remember that it works with Windows Movie Maker as well. I plug my PS2 into this thing, load Windows Movie Maker, lo' and behold, Viewtiful Joe displays, the controls are responsive and at a playable rate! I'm even able to record videos of all the ass-kicking!

The problem is, it only displays through the recording window which isn't resizable. SO, what I was wondering, is there any free software out there that I might be able to use with this thing? I mean like, software that will allow you view feed from something like a TV, VCR, camrecorder, DVD player, etc. on your PC and allows you to resize the window, etc.

It has a port for s-video so I wonder if I didn't use the RCA cables that came with PS2, but an s-video one, would I get improved quality. I don't have my PS2 hooked up to my TV, but my monitor instead via VGA box.
 
I haven't heard of anything like that. I'd say you'd be better off just using the PC as a capture window and breaking down and hooking your PS2 up to the TV as a monitor. I think I need to get me one of those Belkins.....

If it's got a standard Windows video capture driver, it should work with any software that supports Windows capture devices (ie. Netmeeting, Movie Maker, etc).

I can't think of any software off the top of my head that let you preview in full screen, but there's bound to be some out there. Try looking at various WebCam software. They almost always have resizable preview windows.
