    no, you can do it sub optimal by using a USB video capture device though, but AFIK only using composite signals and not HDMI

    no there are no video inputs. you CAN add a video input by attaching a USB video capture unti, but they tend to drop frames, stutter and lose audio sync.

    you will also be limited to composite inputs or S-Video, AFIK there are no HDMI video capture units for laptops yet.

    I think you have to get the M17x to have a video input.
