How to Convert RCA Style Video Input to Computer Input
RCA used to be the standard video input/output method for streaming video signals from one device, such as a VCR or DVD player, to your television. RCA cables are still in use, but are not usually able to connect to a computer for video streaming. You can, however, convert the video stream into DVI -- the standard computer video cable -- through the use of an RCA-to-DVI adapter.
