Default Can I play my Wii on my monitor with this cable?

I have a 22inch 1680x1050 computer monitor widescreen and I used to use a 60$ tv box before but it broke after only about 9 months of use, so I was wondering if I can use this cable

to play with.

PS - I want to use S-Video so I can use my S-Video splitter so I can record gameplay on my computer.

Default Play Wii on PC Monitor

VGA to S Video going the wrong way. VGA(monitor) to S Video. Take a look at these. One is HDTV.

Since Wii has no S Video anyway it would be plugged into tv then out to monitor. Major lag (if tv has s video) or to a capture card or camera etc.
To connect directly from Wii to monitor these will work. Nothing easy is ever cheap.
Also the signal has to be converted.
