"6 heads" is just marketing and the S-Video output probably isn't "real", for what it's worth. (Did Samsung make/rebadge S-VHS decks anywhere in the world?) It sounds like it's just a low-quality...

The All-in-Wonder is indeed a capable GPU. That was the whole idea: graphics + capture card all-in-one (...der).

You didn't list storage. It's recommended to have separate OS and capture drives.
