only way i've heard of is to use one of those TV arial devices and it program.

it's like a usb device that a tv arial cable plugs into so you can watch tv on the computer. you get a co-axial cable for your PS2 and plug that into the usb thingymajiggy and away you go.

Your laptop has to have a tv-tuner card or something similar with video/audio input - either RCA or s-video jacks. If you have S-video you can use this:

There are external USB tv-tuner cards available if your laptop doesn't have one:

I play ps2 on my lcd screen, using video game jockey, it's about 50 bucks and connects your ps2 directly to your monitor, it might work with a laptop, but you'll need an extra monitor cable...if you can use it that way.
