TV in on a GeForce 5600. How to do it?

I have a geforce 5600 with the latest drivers. I am trying to view my
vcr output on the computer. I can't find it as a video source in any
program or setting. I can't find it in any manual online. Of course I
lost the original manual that came with the card.

Please help.

Thanks.

Unless it's a VIVO model, it won't have video in. If it is a VIVO, then you
need to install the nVidia WDM drivers which will install the capture
drivers.

Great answer. I now have the ability to get the video into my computer
by either s video or composite.

NOW

What software can I use to watch the video in a window. I have Windows
Movie Maker and Pinnacle Studio 9, both of which can show me the
picture in a "capture" video window, but it can only be watched as
part of the program. I would like to just have a resizable window to
watch video in.

The WDM setup tried to install a tv tuner, but I assume that this is
for a tuner card and not for video in. Since the install did not
detect a tuner, it did not install the software.

More help would be great.

Thanks.

You have to capture it before you can watch it.

I followed the advice of the other poster and downloaded the proper
codec for bringing the video into the computer. With Microsoft Movie
Maker, Pinnacle 9 Studio and Ulead Video Studio 9 I have the ability
to see the live feed from my VCR in a window. My question is what
program can allow me to watch my line in video in a window like what
can be done with a tv tuner card. With those programs you can watch
your video in a window while doing other things.

Thanks for the responses.

I found what I needed. Win DVR from InterVideo.
