View Single Post - How do I setup S-video connection? (cable box to computer)

I have the "S-video/audio(white & red)" all-in-one cable (photo below):

How do I capture video from the cable box to my computer using the S-video connection method? Currently I use the Composite connection method. I'm not satisfied with the video quality. So i've decided to go for the S-video method, something which I have no knowledge with. Here's what I'm attempted to do (photo below):

The above diagram: one end of the cable(the S-video connector) is connected to the cable box's "S-video out". What about the other end of the S-video connector? There's no S-video socket found on my capture card. And I can't plug it into the "AV In" socket on my capture card, because the S-video connector won't fit. Can you folks help?
