Here is a cable for your card: http://www.firingsquad.com/media/gallery_image.asp/164/6
You can see the composite in, composite out, s-video in, s-video out plugs.

Is it possible to do that?
Winfast TV2000 XP
you need a TV capture card, i have the "Winfast TV2000 XP" it works pretty good (in windows)
and it was only $75
It supports TV (broadcast), CATV (cable), S-VIDEO, RCA Video, and FM broadcast.
but you need a pretty fast computer to use it, i was able to bearly use it on a 500 Mhz computer, but now it's in my 3 Ghz machine. you can use it like a DVR, and have it record shows and stuff.
but it does not support the sound, you need to run a wire from the back of the TV card, to the "Line In" on your soundcard

If your system is not so performant, you could consider an external tv-tuner, like this one: http://www.hauppauge.com/html/usb_data.htm
Eeeeeeeeeek! MPEG2 is rated at 480x480/480x576 @ 29.97/25 Hz with a bitrate of ~2536Kbit/s (unless you want to get into MPEG2-DVD which is a totally different ballgame and your 233 would be seriously outclassed to keep up with even 4Mbit/sec) at a bitrate.
MPEG4 is not in any way related to MPEG2 (except for the name, have a lookie here: http://www.hazza.dsl.pipex.com/faq.htm#VIDEO ) ... it would not be feasible to get a 800x600 capture from MPEG2 as there would (a) be CRAPLOADS of work to properly do it and (b) it would still look ike crap and (c) if you've got the hardware for it, might as well record natively to MPEG4 at an arbitrary resolution rather than get confined to the limitations of MPEG2
If you think that its done 100% on the card you're in for a treat. Try chewing up your comp doing something else, say Doom3 or Premier encoding and you'll see. It'll be doubly obvious on a 233Mhz system. Regardless, it's not feasible to be doing high calibre encoding on the fly on a 233Mhz system!
I dont either but it's just a side point (considering HDTV goes up to 1920xsomething i think).
