[quote name='kshark'][quote name='sisco1986']You need Video capture device/card, you also need software that is able to capture images of the video.

They vary in price. I use my ATI 9800 PRO All in Wonder to capture video/images.
Oh and welcome to the community, also this is off topic (sort of).
Also, VGA adapter for the cube just allows you to play on a PC monitor it doesn't have anything to do with your Computer, the only thing it works from is the monitor.[/quote]
I have a Gforce4-Ti4200 with a S-video port buildin. Is it good enough? How about the sound then? Do I need a soundcard that support input of the RED and Yellow composite cable that came with GC? So I would need to play GC using the Analogue Output and Digital Output ports at the same time?
Thanks for the help.
Heh, I realized I was kinda off topic too but duno where to put it. I am a GC fan and thought I might as well ask ppl of similar interest. BTW, this forum is great, Im enjoying it already.[/quote]
No your Geforce Ti 4200 isn't an image capture card, it's has a S-Video OUTPUT not S-Video INPUT. You need to buy a Video Card that has Video input's so that you can capture the video from the GameCube. So no you can't use your card to capture video you will need a capture card.
Yes you will need RED+WHITE (not yellow) composite INPUTS to be able to get the sound, some video capture cards have built-in Audio (White/RED) composite INPUTS to capture sound. There are also adapters you could buy to hook it up to a non composite source (like a non audio composite input sound card).
The third question about analog or digital out, I don't understand. Digital out on the cube is for Component cables, unless your getting a video capture card with component inputs (or buy a component to s-video adapter) you can just use the regular A/V port on the GameCube system.
So you will need to buy a video capture card with stereo/mono inputs. There not that expensive they range from 30-99 Bucks. Or go with the low-tech technique, use a camcorder.
