Can I record VHS videos on my PC?
Saturday, 26 May, 2001
Is there a method and or device that I can connect a VCR to the PC so that the PC can record a VHS tape and store on the PC to be viewed through a PC media player or burnt to CD as a VCD ???

 Yes, but you need some gear.
Put simply, you need a video capture card, a reasonably fast PC, lots of hard disk space and some software. Check back through HelpStation for related questions and answers.
A minimum setup would be a TV Tuner card (including basic video capture). That would cost little more than $100 if you shop well. If you have Windows ME you can use the Movie Maker to capture the video to a file.
