MSI 4400/4600 video in - functionality?

[BlueScreenVW]

How does the video-in function of the MSI Geforce 4 4400/4600 cards work? More specifically:
1. Can you connect both RCA and S-video cables to the video-in 4in1 adapter?
2. Does it have analogTV tuning capability, like a TV-in PCI card? Or does it only read a certain fixed TV frequency?
3. Does it work for you, that is, have you tried it personally?

Thx

Bump. Please, come on now.... 🙂

1. Should be able to, you'll just pick the input you want to capture with in your capture application. Thats the way my AIW cards work.
2. Seems like I remember that those cards can use the personal cinema external tuner, but if not, you just need to hook you VCR up and use the VCR's tuner like any VIVO card. I used my Radeon VIVO that way for quite awhile and it worked great. Used its remote to change channels.
3. Never tried one, but in the past, multimedia functionality was pretty sketchy with the nVidia cards. Hopefully the GF4 series put that nonesense to rest. The specs look good.

I would really like to read a hands on experience about those very questions myself!

old post but I don't see any replies so I'll share what experience I've had with it...I just got my MSI Ti4400 from Newegg today and by the end of the night I had my gamecube hooked up and displaying properly on my monitor playing Super Smash Bros Melee 🙂 quality is pretty good, and since I don't have a TV in my room this will be convenient ...and I can always capture to videos if I feel the need. tomorrow I'm going to test it with a camcorder and a TV antenna. I just need to head to radioshack and get an RCA->minijack converter so I can play the audio through my computer's cambridge soundworks speakers.

I'm using the Gainward 1.11 WDM drivers and Nvidia 28.32's
the only problem I can't solve is No One Lives Forever crashes if I don't disable AGP fast writes 🙁 I've yet to find a solution other than that...
