My head is going to explode.

I went to Fry's, had other things to get - side note - shop before Thanksgiving or wait a week - the PATA HD shelves were empty.

I bought a Diamond Capture/TV/blah blah card. I was enticed by the rebate. The box cover shows a RCA input - great! Unpack and it's coax! Oh wait, it's a coax to RCA adapter. I plug in and....... nothing. OK, lets try and just plug the video cam in as a VCR and play back a tape - nothing. &$^%!!!!! Ah, the vid cam has an S-video out and the card has S-video in.... It works with the vid cam... Now I need a S-video to RCA adapter.

I shouldn't be so pissed, I did decide to go the cheap route...
