tv-in rca jacks

I have an nvidia card that came with a cable that has an s-video
connector on one end and 4 rca jacks and another s-video jack on the
other end. Unfortunately I bought a oem card and there is absolutely no
documentation. The rca jacks are blue, yellow, red, and green. Can
anyone tell me which jacks are for tv-in. Or maybe it doesn't even have
tv-in

the card is nVidia GeForce 6600 256MB DDR AGP w/DVI/TV-OUT

thanks for your help

john

Very likely you have four (all male) or four (all female) RCA (Phono)
connectors on the cable: Red, Green, and Blue for [Component Video (RGB)
Out] and the Yellow for [Composite Video Out].

There are a LOT of choices for digitizing video for recording to DVD.
You don't need a video card for the process. There are USB2 devices that
are extremely easy to install, don't need a slot, and that come with the
necessary software. Video cards (display adapters) with video in are
available, but you already have a new video card, and there is no need to
replace it.

It's usually better to use a separate PCI or USB video capture or TV
tuner card to do this. The video capture capability in most video cards
is generally rather poor.

Not to mention that often it adds to updating video card drivers, e.g. got
to update WDM etc. driver also. It can turn into a pain to "keep" it all
working.
