hi. before i start this is my system

dfi lanparty ut nf4 ultra D skt 939
athlon 64 3200
1GB ddr PC3200 kingmax ram (2 x 512 dual channel)
saphire radeon x800 xl 256MB pci express
maxtor diamondmax 10 200GB 8MB cache

what i want to do is connect my vhs player to my pc so i can put my videos on disk ect.

do i need to buy another card to do this like:-

Compro VideoMate DVB-T200 Digital TV Internal PCI - Retail (GX-000-CP) £34.95

or should i be able to do it with my x800. i have tried connecting an s-video cable from my card to my video player but cant get anything to happen. my vhs dosent have s-video so i used a s-video to scart adapter.

i tried it with windows movie maker. is this right?

sorry about the noob questions but ive nerver done this before.
thanks

thanks rickyt.
im sure my card dosent do video in so could someone reccomend a good card.

do i really need to pay £60-100? i know you get what you pay for but i dont know the differece between a £15 card and a £100 one.

saying that i dont want to get one and find its not much good.

someone told me that to do video capture i relly need a vidoe capture card and not a tv card as these dont do video capture very well.
thanks
 
thanks for your reply skankmaster.#
unfortunatly i dont have a camcorder (yet).
so im still unsure what to get. i read a lot about problems with tv cards but no good reports.
can anyone recommend a good card that will do video capture without too much problem?
 
i think im going to buy a Pinnacle PCTV 310i PCI PCTV Card
does anyone have anything good/bad to say about these?
i would appreciate some feedback before i buy.
thanks
ashley
