272437 2004-09-14 22:24:00 Is it possible to connect a VCR to play back movies on a computer.

I do have a Dynalink TV card installed and an external sound system.

Just a thought. :-)

272438 2004-09-14 22:29:00 You might need some kind of converter, with 1 -3 RCA sockets, and most probably a 5 din pin plug (if the tuner, and video have one on them).

But its possible. BUT if u brought some kind of converter, it'd cost u more than an internal DVD player!

Why not get a DVD player??

Connect to the AV Video out on the VCR.
AV Audio out on the VCR connects to the Line In socket on the sound card/ audio system.

272440 2004-09-14 23:16:00 i have a brooktree tuner card and the video plugs into it and runs quite well.
It has rescued all my old videos of my kids.
They are all savely backed up on cd and dvd now.

272441 2004-09-15 00:43:00 My thanks to all who replied.

I will have a go tonight, though I may well need to update the TV card drivers, as it does not seem to like win2000pro after winME.

But should not be any big deal.

Again thanks
