| 61695 | 2002-07-11 10:39:00 | Do I need a video capture card to view my VHS tapes on my PC or do I just need to get a cable to join the two units? | dhooper (988) | ||
| 61696 | 2002-07-11 11:06:00 | do u want to use ur computer screen as a tv or do u want to actually transfer ur vhs tape to computer? if you want to transfer it to computer then u would need a video capture card,if u just want to play them using the computer screen u will still need a video capture card, one that has a tv/video in port, so u can connect ur vcr to the computer with the normal video cable that would work with ur tv and vcr. hope that helped. cheers, v.K---------- :D |

I have a feeling that a TV tuner card might just be cheaper than a video capture card. Worth looking into anyway. Mike. |
