8800GTS ViVO does that mean I can record VHS?

[Pulsedriver]

Hi folks,

Just got my VHS down from the loft as I have sold my entire VHS collection, but have some camcorder holiday footage i'd like to put onto DVD.

My graphics card is a 8800GTS Dual ViVO.

Can I hook my VHS up to it? And record the camcorder stuff onto the PC, then to a DVD?

Do I have all the wires I need with the Graphics card? Or need to buy some?

Sorry if that sounds silly,

Help much appreciated,

Sean.

If it has video in, looks a bit like an S-Video jobby and comes with an adapter which it should have, it should be perfectly possible.

Just checked and my gfx card doesnt have ViVo

Why did you say it had VIVO in the first post?

What is the exact make and model of the 8800 you have?

I just assumed it had

Every other card i've had had ViVO but I never used it lol

It's an Albatron 8800GTS

It's got TV out, HD etc, but not ViVO.

I'll just use my Panasonic DVD Recorder linked to the VCR instead, but I just thought it was easier, and better to use the PC as could make chapters etc.

I think most cards now have VIVO, ie. my old 7800gtx which did not say VIVO anywhere on the box, could actualy record video in, allbeit with a fx5900vivo vivo cable. The best capture resolution I could get was 320x240 though

I've not tried with my current g80 because I got a 30quid capture card which works like a charm; recording DVD resolution in realtime.

Reminds me of my 7900GTO. I also assumed that had VIVO as "they all have it nowadays". But alas, it didn't.

I notice that the Albatron site only mentions TV out, looks like your out of luck.

off topic and probably way off the mark, but can you make your dvd recorder create chapters, say every 10 minutes or whatever? just a guess
