Will my Video Card Allow me to Capture Footage

[kermit]

I'm trying to capture a video file from a DVD player onto my computer.

Right now I have a inverter, dvd, computer and they're all connected the intervter is connected to my PC via SVIDEO cable. But I don't know how to capture footage.

I have a couple programs including NERO. And it does have a "capture" option but I'm when I try to click it - it doesn't work.

I'm told two things:

1. I need to find out if my video card will allow me to capture footage. I have a Geforce FX5200 256 - Does anyone know if it will allow me to capture footage.

2. I need a DV converter - Is this correct.

ADMIN - I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not so I posted it one other place.

I'm 99% sure that you can't capture video with a FX5200. I think you either need a new video card with video capture abilities, or a video capture card (which I recommend, video cards with video capture tend to be pretty expensive)
