I recently ordered a Radeon 7000 pci card, with hopes of video
capturing dvd's new dvd's. I do not have a dvd drive so i'm going to
do this by running my dvd player into my radeon 7000 through with an s
video connection, capturing the video and saving it on my hard drive.
Can anyone tell me possible probelms that may arise and how to fix
these problems. thank you

Check first that the Radeon card that you have ordered actually supports
video-in. Most Radeons have an S-video port for TV-out, but only the
All-In-Wonder type cards support video-in.


Thanks for the information. I called and doubled checked and you were
right, the card does not have s-video input. What do you think would
be the best course of action to take for copying dvd's. Getting a dvd
rom and ripping them or getting another video capture card and do it
that way?
