I have the same card and have done some investigation of this idea. Specifically, I wanted to be able to display TV to my arcade monitor, which is probably what you're after.

I don't really understand what it is that you're trying to accomplish with that circuit, but it seems to me the problem is a fairly basic one: Can a composite video signal be converted to RGB?

The answer seems to be yes and no. I understand that there are some (stupidly expensive )converters available. Old Space Ace and Dragon's Lair video games made use of these, I believe. But in terms of a hackable solution, I have yet to find one. And I've done some digging.

Sorry, buddy. If you find a solution, though, I'd love to hear about it.
