It works fine recording TV programs on ATI 8500, but I want to record
what's playing on the monitor - whether it be a DVD, a CD, or a
streaming video from a web page. I know there are inputs for VCR or
camcorder output, but how would I go about recording just what's on
the monitor? I've tried looping the video output back to the video
input on the card, but that didn't do anything. Perhaps there's a
monitor sold which has composite outputs? I can't seem to understand
why this should be such a difficult thing. Any suggestions?

TIA!!

I'm confused. Why would you want to take digital video, display it to an
analog signal and then capture it back to digital?
