GeForce FX 5500 256MB -- VIVO?

bballrocks11 · 10-11-2005, 01:53 PM

Alright... basically I want to put my old home videos (in VHS format) onto the computer to edit with the new program I bought and then put them onto DVD's. I have the GeForce FX 5500 OC 256 MB card... is my graphics card capable? I can't find any clear indication that it is nor any clear indication it is not. The S-Video spot on the back is labled as TV out or VIVO in the install guide that came with the card.. I have the S-Video cable and a vcr with the S-VIDEO out spot on the back also... so... do I need to buy something else? Like a video capture device? Or is there just something I need to install to get this to work properly? If anybody knows, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

The card should be ok for that,,vivo=video in video out. You will need a
driver though.

so I should just need to download a driver? I found one @ download.com
http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0....=30&search.y=7

I downloaded it, but nothing changed... is that the type of thing I need though? Am I at least going in the right direction? lol

actually, I think my problem is when I instal the device... it tells me that it didn't pass the compatibility test (to test if it was compatible with Windows XP) i continued to instal it anyways, but that must be why its not working... I have no downloaded the driver directly from the nvidia website and it said it was compatible with XP... any clue why this might be happening?
