Another way to go with this is to use a camcorder. If you have access to a camcorder with firewire or USB out and RCA inputs (or whatever you need to connect to your VCR), then you can connect your VCR to the camcorder, and the firewire/USB to the computer. I have done it this way, and it works nicely, and you avoid having to buy a capture card. Of course capture cards are cheaper than camcorders, so this might not be any help ;). -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |
