Not familiar with the card, but sounds like what is being called "DIN to
component" is a misnomer. What you will likely get is the ability to connect
the S vid signal into an encoded video in spiggot, and nothing more.
DVI will only help *if* it is DVI-I, and you have a dongle to grab the
analog
signal from it. Good luck in a search for that.

Lesson - check your ideas & intents thoroughly beforehand, or be prepared
for
possible disappointment - the video card guys just are trying to be too many
things at once just now, and in so doing, they often succeed at none of
their
initial goals.

My $0.02 - and prolly worth just that....
