The Hauppauge HDPVR 1212 has red-blue-green component video (plus stereo and optical S/PDIF audio) input and pass-through connections on the back side of the case. Look at the Hauppauge HD PVR at newegg.ca to see the correct view showing these connections.You would connect the HD PVR 1212's component inputs to the game system and the component pass through to the TV, and do the same with the audio connections you want to use.

[Edit]Sorry, I had to leave for an appointment. Because the CPU is on the weak side, your laptop may have difficulty playing back recordings if its graphics card cannot decode h.264 video. If you can provide the laptop's model number, perhaps someone here can find out if it is capable of playing back the H.264 files produced by the HD PVR 1212.

[Edit 2]There is another version of the HD PVR, the HD PVR 01445, that comes with universal game-system and A/V component cables for a bit more than the 1212. The HD PVR 01445 itself is the same as the HDPVR 1212, but has green LEDs. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116074

I have a video capture device for xbox but my tv doesnt have rgb inputs for the viseo. Does anyone know if I can use both RCA and RGB outs from the xbox at the same time?

If I recall correctly from an earlier thread, the Xbox 360 can output 480i (SD) video simultaneously over its component and composite, or S-Video ports. However, if you use an HD resolution, then the only one of the three available analog connections that will supply a signal is component. The other analog connections won't be active. If you try to use the XBox 360's HDMI connections, then none of the analog connections will be active.
