Anyone know of a video capture prog...

That has a resizable "preview" window?

Basically in my brilliance I discovered that I can use my video camera's shitty RCA-to-USB adapter to plug my PS2 into my computer and play it without a TV (I don't watch TV so I don't feel like spending money on one). The problem is, all of the camera-capture programs I can find seem to hardcode the size of the "preview window" (the live display of the input, so you can tell when you click "record" when making your movies; but obviously I'm not recording movies, I want to play using that window) at 320x240, which works but is obviously way too small for my comfort when playing games.

So I'm looking for a program that allows me to resize that window, at least to 640x480 if possible, or a program more specialized for just watching instead of recording. I don't care if the resolution stays 320x240 -- that's probably almost as good as a TV anyways -- but I have to be able to make the window larger.

I've tried Pinnacle Studio 9, Windows Movie Maker, and Adobe Premiere 7, none of which seem to have an option to resize the preview window.

Thanks.
