Recording to video back to avi...
 

I remember seeing a tutorial somewhere for it, if anyone would be nice enough to throw up the url or tell me here it would be much appreicated.

I have a video out on my Fx card but no in, I do have a WinTv card (older model) that has two holes (tv, vid, audio) neither say in or out.

Thx for any help.

Capture Cards
 

With the Vidoe out on the FX card you can only set up a TV or Monitor to it. Video capture with that card is only possible with a program like Fraps.

With your WinTV card, it should almost look like this...

You said there were only 2 "holes" but by the pic you should be able to figure that out. Down Below are some descriptions that may help you.

LNB - F-Connector socket Signal input from your digital satellite system (check 'Compatibility' section, above).
Loop through - F-Connector socket Output for additional satellite receivers, e.g. for analogue Satellite-TV-card. This is only supported by the following systems: D9 and LNBP (K) designated with LNBP 11 SP, LNBP 12SP, LNBP 13 SP, LNBK 11 SP and LNBK 13 SP.
Audio line-out - Stereo 3.5mm jack socket Analogue audio output signal, to connect to line-in of soundcard or active speakers. ·Composite video - Phono (RCA) socket Composite video output signal, for connection to additional analogue devices such as TV or VCR.
J3 - Internal audio socket CD-ROM Audio output, for connection to the internal port of soundcard (CD-ROM Audio in). This is required if the Audio line-out connector is not being used.
J4 - Internal audio socket CD-ROM Audio input, for connection to the analogue Audio-output of CD-ROM-drive. This is required if the Audio line-out connector is not being used and the sound card has only one internal CD-ROM Audio in socket, which is already being used.
J2 and J8 - Reserved for future expansion ·CI - Port for connection to the Common Interface Module Common Interface Module is a standard to enable the reception of 'subscriber' or 'pay per view' channels.

what software can i use to convert from avi doun to mpg ..avi's are huge! and im trying to make a intro for our web page ..and no one wants to dounload a 500mb intro ....must..have..smaller..file!

Flagg

even mpg's can be way too large (depending on the resolution). especailly if your planning on making an intro any longer than 10 or so seconds... learn how to use macromedia flash.

Hmm
 

I use TMPGEnc and its free.

You should actually break that video down, if you are going to use it for an intro tho.
