How does that work? Do I need some kinda drivers etc? Or if I just plug in my VCR using the RCA/s-video adapter/converter cable it will automatically recognize it? I recently bought an HP laptop with NVidia Gforce go 7400 card and have not tried this on this new laptop but my old laptop had s-video input as well and I connected the vcr and opened windows movie maker but it would only give the sound of the movie playing and not the video.

The S-video connectors on all laptops are output connectors. They are not meant to input external signal. Avoid feeding external signals to these output ports, as it may damage the internal circuitry.
