WinTv software with the old video player running (?)

Sure, just plug in the antenna, set the winTV software to TV and tune the channels while the VCR is playing. It should find just 1 channel which has the VCR picture on it.
The wintv converts the video signal from the tuner to digital video. The WinTV software in turn plays this back again on your screen.
Most of this stuff is in the analog capture guide by the way.
The s-vid connector on the winTV is both s-vid and composite. These cards come with an adapter for that. It connects the composite signal to the Y pin of the Y/C s-vid connector. It is either a short s-vid (hosinden) to RCA cable or a small plastic adapter.
