What Wire Is This?

Its an AVI (IN) wire that has a plug at the end that looks like the plugs that go into iPods. It also has yellow stripes instead of black ones. I will post a picture of it if nobody knows what it is.

This is also so that I can find out if I can use this as a connection from my Xbox PC Monitor.

You need a cable like this: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-VGA-HD-AV-Cable/dp/B0041D1L3W
One end plugs into the Xbox, then there's a connector that goes to the monitor VGA (video) connector, and the red and white plugs go to your speakers.

The headphone connector is needed to connect the sound to your computer speakers, but it won't work for the video.
For the video to the monitor you have to use a regular Xbox video out cable (that has like an HDMI plug on it to connect to the Xbox) and a plug on the other end for whatever you're connecting to, usually a VGA or HDMI plug for the monitor.

What I could think it is:
Mini HDMI
Standard HDMI
VGA?

And by the way. Which type of iPod? 5th gen or 4th gen? because they use different cords. Please post a picture[/quote]

Has nothing to do with HDMI, not VGA and it's a cord that goes in the [b]headphone[/b] jack.
