Right long ago I had a Radeon 64ddr & it had VIVO on it as well & I recorded TV/video by getting one of those scart plugs that has a yellow composite input & left/right audio jacks & s-video on the back, the most important thing is to buy the scart that has a switch on it to allow you to change between input & output.
You then put the scart in the back of your TV/Video (btw not all TV/videos scart outputs do both in/out, normally if you have 2 or more scarts on your TV/video only 1 will support out) & set the scart plug to output, now you link the yellow lead to the input on your vid card (composite in, allthough from that pic of your vid card I cant see the VIVO connections so if it has a s-video in use that as its better quality) & the audio leads to your sound card line in.
All you need now is software to show the source on your PC to allow you to capture it, there was an ATI one that came with my card but it wasnt much cop as it only had a few bit rate options so I used a free capture program called VirtualDub.
If you open it & goto file/capture avi it should detect your capture driver & allow you to see the tv on your PC, with mine the quality wasnt really great (due to the composite connection) but it was ok.
Once you set it up it's trial & error learning the optimum settings to use & how to use the program to do what you want but it's not that hard to learn really.

This is what I mean by the connector you need =

& as you have s-video (looks like a mini din plug) use that as the qualitys a lot better than composite.
