I think the question is how to do it, not why it's there.

I wish I could help you ShadowBlade, but I've never done something like this.

Easy. I also have a 7800GT and I've gotten the S-Video in to work.

Download this thing if you haven't already:

http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
Multimedia Software-->WDM Driver->GeForce 6/7 series

Then get a program that supports capture. Such programs include Windows Movie Maker, Windows Media Encoder, and Media Player Classic (for preview (watching) and capture). All of the aforementioned is freeware.

BTW, you probably need to reboot after the WDM thing if you haven't already. You're just missing a capture program. The WDM driver itself won't just add a shortcut. It is only a driver.
