ATI products that have VIVO (video in, video out connectors)
usually have "All In Wonder" or AIW as part of the product
name. Your x700pro is just a video card, without hardware
VIVO capability, as near as I can tell.

According to the ATI web page, the x700pro has "VideoShader HD"
for "improved DVD playback", and that is for watching
DVD movies.

This is an example of an ATI PCI-Express card with the AIW
name. Video I/O is via a breakout cable:
