Playing Composite video on my pc monitor.. (xbox)

Hi, I have a new PC, and I realised I have input into the back of my PC, where I can plug my xbox into - s-video, and 2 sound inputs.

Now to view the xbox I realised I need a program that can read composite video and play it - I have a TV Card and some software that I can watch TV on, but not composite video, only cable and antenna inputs.

So I was wondering, how would I view the xbox, and what software would I need??

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You don't state what hardware you have. What are you plugging the S-Video connector into? Many video cards come with a S-Video jack, but it is usually for output only.

Are you SURE the S-Video on your PC is INPUT rather than OUTPUT??

S-Video and composite video are two different things.

IF your PC has S-Video input, then all you need are the utilities or programs to select the S-video signal. They should have come with the PC equipment.

Rule #1: Good Computers don't go down.
Rule #2: There is no such thing as a good computer.

Its not a yellow jack. But I have a lead, that you plug into an wire (4 pins), and red+white audio into and it, and it comes out as 1 wire which has 7 pins.

And I plug the 7 pin (s-video?) into the back of the PC, next to the cable input where I put my antenna in. So im sure its going into the video card/tv card? No...?

The original lead is coming from the Xbox.
