Video In?

[Hi Ho Silver]

I am wanting to know which video graphics cards have *video in* capability.
For example, from what I can tell, the nvidia GeForce 7300LE and GeForce
7350LE cards do
have that capability, and would serve to do video capture from an external
source. But not all video graphics card have that capability. How do I
determine whether a particular graphics card does support video in, and
where might be a good resource to find out. Thanks.

May I suggest looking at a dedicated video capture card instead rather than
one incorporated into a video card. My experiences show me it's a lot less
hassle when it comes to updating drivers etc.

You are mistaken, none of the cards you mention have video in ability. For
an example of various current cards with VIVO capability, look at
