The title is what I'm looking for. I enjoy playing my PS2 through my PIII retro machine since it basically ensures my ~old gaming~ is centralized. S-video is... okay, but I would vastly prefer component.
9X support is not 100% required, but would be greatly appreciated. I do dual boot XP, but I prefer having hardware that works on 9x as well.

I have ATI TV Wonder PCI and Creative Labs Video Blaster Digital VCR (Model CT5831) cards. Both cards have a general "A/V input" rather than separate types of inputs. The ATI TV Wonder uses an external breakout box with S-Video and the usual Red/White/Yellow composite connectors while the Video Blaster uses an adapter cable to connect composite video to the S-Video port. Both cards support Windows 9x.

Hauppauge also had a number of similar products during that era.

Thank you kindly. Now I just need to find one that also has those- or maybe the cables I have from old video cards will work, hmm.
E: Holy hell I actually have one, and the cables don't work! Cry.
It looks like this input isn't the same as any other cards, the pin organization is

I cannot for the life of me find a component connector for this anywhere.
