Is that S-Video jack on your video card a video-IN or a video-OUT?

Please list the brand name and model of the video card.

i have just done this a few days ago
the way i did it was like this
got some jack leads (the sort u use with your amp ect)
attch 1 to your socket on the graphics card (not the s.video) then buy a splitter for the sound so its a 3.5mm pin 2 a 2 jackplugs
the end of the j/plugs go to your video recorder and so does the other 1 (from the video out socket on your card)

this way its all connected to your video then connect your video to the tv and away u go

i use it so i can play the divx films on pc but record them direct to vhs tape
hope this help
