Odd request, I'm having trouble locating a video card that has S-Video input. I'm attempting to send video from a Polycom to a computer to record the video. If anyone can help me locate such a magical device I'd appreciate it.

FYI The new Polycom will have RCA & S-Video output.

You'll need a capture card, not a video card.

Video cards are output only.

Beyond that, I don't have any suggestions, but at least you're now pointed in the proper direction.

Videocards with video-in capability used to be common, however almost no one wants/needs that function. My old X800 card has S-Video in (as well as composite) and I'm pretty sure it was standard on all X800's. But now, you'll have a hard time finding companies that still bundle video-in capability with their graphics cards. I should add that I've almost never used the video-in.

Here's some more information:

I had one also. It was the all-in-wonder version.

There still appears to be the All in Wonder model from ATI Linky

I used them for years, and was very satisfied with the video capture (it has composite and S-video input)

I tried using mine to watch TV on mine, but the video was very choppy. I think that I can attribute that though to the Pentium D 840 that was in it.
