btw, how much quality will I loose if I use an S-Video cable?

Assuming your cap card doesn't have component input, s-video is the best thing to use.

If quality is really so important to you, and you don't really plan to use the cap card to grab stuff off tv/vhs, you could probably sell it for enough to buy a DVD drive, which would be a lot faster, and remove all quality related issues.

even a really cheap crappy $29 DVD should be able to rip at more than 1x

the thing is, I already have this, and with this cap card I can also rip VHS along with the DVD's. And I doubt that I can sell this card.

I've seen Real Estate from Mars selling for $100s of dollars on Ebay... hey! is that auction for Walt Disney's Colon done yet??? o.0

yep the possibilitys are endless but what's the possibility of you ever buying a vhs?? If you haven't yet I doubt if you ever will
