This Bt878 Video Capture has:
Coxial input port
S-video input port
Yellow RCA composite video input port
...
The S-video input port is connected to an old camcorder. This camcorder's S-video output works when connected to an old TV.
So I want to use VLC to view the video from this Bt878 card's S-video input port.
After googling around for how to do this with VLC, I have tried various methods but no success.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
