CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 11/059,972, filed on Feb. 16, 2005, the disclosure of this application is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Video game consoles are usually connected to regular television sets for visual and sounds effects. When compared to a computer monitor, a television set typically has lower image quality since the television set displays video at lower resolution. However, video game consoles do not interface with computer monitors through computers because a user will typically experience audio latency whereby the audio and video are not synchronized. In other words, the audio may lag behind or lead the video by a few seconds. [0003] Audio latency may be caused by the use of different clock frequencies by an audio and video data conversion device and by the computer. In particular, a first frequency used within the audio and video data conversion device is typically different from a second frequency of an audio capture clock at which an audio renderer within the computer sends audio data to an audio encoder. The audio latency can cause a noticeable delay between a user's input actions through the video game console and resultant audio and video outputted from a computer. [0004] As a result, there is a need to provide methods and systems for reducing audio latency and for displaying video from a video game console. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] Broadly speaking, the present invention fills these needs by providing methods and systems for displaying video from a video game console. It should be appreciated that the present invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as a method, a system, or a device. Several inventive embodiments of the present invention are described below. [0006] In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a system for displaying video from a video game console is provided. The system includes an audio and video data conversion device in communication with the video game console. Additionally, a computer in communication with the audio and video data conversion device is included. The system also includes a display panel in communication with the computer, whereby the display panel is capable of displaying the video. [0007] In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, a method for displaying video from a video game console is provided. In this method, the video from an audio and video data conversion device is received at a computer. The video is fed to the audio and video conversion device by the video game console. Thereafter, the video is outputted to a display panel. [0008] In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, a method for displaying video from a video game console is provided. In this method, analog video from the video game console is converted to digitized video. After the conversion, the digitized video is outputted to a computer. [0009] Other aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrating by way of example the principles of the invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] The present invention will be readily understood by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and like reference numerals designate like structural elements. [0011] FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of a system for displaying video from a video game console, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
