Default Setting Up Nintendo Wii to Play Through PC Via TV Tuner Card

Hi all, i've been trying to connect my Nintendo Wii to my PC to play on this monitor. I have a TV tuner card with an S-Video input and i've tried doing the youtube tutorials but I can't figure out how they're bringing up the screen.

I'm running windows vista and my manual says that if my computer has AV inputs then I have video capture capabilities. I've tried running it through Windows Media Center by manually changing the settings to the composite in, and i could see the wii menu in the sample window, but when i saved and quit the settings and went to live tv all i got was the 'white noise.'

So i downloaded Debut Video Capture and this would pick up the tv signal, but when i unplugged the cable and plugged in the s-video for the wii, still more white noise. So what am i doing wrong here? help's appreciated!

Try changing the refresh rate on the Wii, under settings somewhere you should find options of something like, 50Hz 60Hz and 75Hz
