    Hi
    I wonder how to capture a tv program into my pc? I have ATI x600 series 256 MB grafic card which has s-video too. How can I do that? I have no idea about the software to be used either. Would anybody please help me? Thank you

    If you have the ATI X600Pro ATW (All In Wonder)the software to capture video is part of the install disk that comes with the card. You can also download the files from ATI's website. ATI's Multimedia Center is what you need for the TV/Video capture portion of the card.
    Once you have Multimedia Center installed and the TV Tuner portion setup you can use its own built in program to capture video from the the TV tuner.
    You can also use an aray of other programs out there including Window Movie Maker to capture video at that point.

    Thank you for your reply. But one question: How can I connect the tv (or the digital reciever) to the PC?

    Just curious but did you not receive a manual when you bought the card?
    If not go to the following link for the user manual.

    There should also have been an additional cable and conncetion box that supports composite s-video and cable connections that plugs into the back of the X600. Go through the hardware installation section for connection info.
    Once you have that done and the software installed you will have to configure your TV tuner which you will do the first time you launch it.
