yup hate to agree but is a dumb ? .
simple put in= is for putting video/sound into the computer from another source.
out =is for taking video/sound out of the computer .
a laptop/computer with svideo out plug can be displayed on a TV with a svideo plug.by using a svideo cable .
also components work the same ,if a video card has a video in, it means you could connect tv to computer .if it has video capture device it can record from TV.hope this helps
