    You should be able to get a phono to 3.5mm jack connection from most electrical shops (maplin.co.uk) if all else fails. I was thinking of trying it myself now I have a VIVO card, whats the piucture quality like?

    the yellow lead carries video, that should be connected to the graphics card - unless it has no composite input, in which case you may need to replace your ps2's lead with a svideo cable. the red & white should be run through a few adapters into the dound card's line-in.

    Red and white = audio, i've got many dual composite to 3mm jack cables if you want one? You just connect it to the line in of your sound card.

    Goes into composite input. I found that the software from my tv card allowed me to use the vivo ports on my video card as the input signal so i always used that.

    Well UK is PAL I or PAL M (can't remember now) - so set it to one of those (whichever looks best).
