there is some video thing i think because there is a port where i can plug in a cable that i got with gforce fx5200 where the other end i can connect to my camera but now i dont know whether that cable can do the desired work and what application should i use for video caturing ...... (what i mean is that 1 end of the cable goes to the laptop and the other to the camera but i dont know whether the notebook and the camera a re compatible)
