basically, i dont have a damn clue how i use the video in on this card, the reviews for VIVO X8x0's on this mention the yellow connector on the back, but nothing more so then, how can i use it and what can i use it for?
Dont bother with the yellow plug. What ya do is, you would have got a CD with your card that has DVD software on it. It also contains capture software Install the software, read the read me and then plug your Svideo cable that came with your card into the card Svideo jack . It will have leads all over place but its simple enough, the read me will guide you with whats what. Now plug the other end into your VCR, DVD , console or what ever you want to use. Startup the capture software and there ya go.
ok, and um...what if i have lost the software that came with it no wait, i found it, it was beside my pc chair, on te floor, i feel like an idiot anyway, so i can play my xbox on my pc screen, but its really small, can i stretch it in any way?
I'm not to sure m8, never tried to run a console through my card. Maybe you need to drop the desktop res to 800x600.
