Computer/Video card question..

Do any of y'all know of a Video Card for computers that has a Video input port? (The yellow connector type)

I've got an old DVD player I'm trying to hook up to my PC, to use my PC for a TV on the DVD player, I'm not looking for a TV tuner card.


(Cable on left)


not sure if they exist or not, just throwing it out in case. Also, I'm not looking for something expensive, under $100 is preffered

I now unanswered it, the link I had posted previously is from HongKong and I can't find it in the US. Shipping charges were all generally over $50.

Matrox and ATI (All In One Wonder) both did have various cards that would allow input of audio/video signals but don't know which ones specifically. I've had both in various computers for editing video and both worked quite well, according to the software side of it.

I know some video capture cards use S-video inputs. You may want to look at one of those, it will get you a better picture. The following may give you some more info....

thanks for the info, using S video port had completely passed by me, I'll check into that Though another reason I was going to try to get the RCA port though, was for my Camera too, but that's not a huge deal.
