You need a program like HiNetRecorder,WMRecorder and I think one of the Winamp verisons does it too,not sure which one sorry.

Capturing streaming online video has nothing to do with hardware (assuming your system specs are reasonable).


What is needed is what cwctv said - some software to record the streams.

You can of course, record from pc to vhs (or equivalent) with tv out of graphics card.

These might help you out I can't find a picture don't know your card anyway so I have no idea what your cards connections are.

saving a "streaming" video off the 'net is a whole other matter from capturing. you just need to get hold of a program that is able to trick the stream server into letting you save the file to your hard drive. like cwctv said, HiNet Recorder, HiDownload, and certain other programs are able to do that. those programs essentially substitute for WMP, RealPlayer, etc-- it's just a software trick.

There should be adapter cables - look in your local shop ;)

or on Amazon.com ;)

what type of adapter cables? are sure i need them becuase i have a cord that plugs into the S-Video slot on my card and has an end for the yellow rca cable to go in. I tried searching on amazon but heaps of things come up.

You need a scart to rca adaptor (assuming your video has scart). Connect one end of the cable to the video connector of the scart adaptor, and the other end into that yellow plug in the tv card.

Now you need to connect the sound. Get an audio cable cable, plug one end in the scart adaptor and the other end in the PC's sound-in plug.
