738884 2009-01-15 05:28:00 What do I need to do this?I presume I need a video card with the 3 red/white/yellow connectors on it.Is this correct,and if so which cards have this.If this isn't correct,is there another way to copy stuff to my PC.At the moment my PC is using the onboard video so I assume I will have to upgrade to a new card.Any suggestions?

738885 2009-01-15 05:36:00 A capture card / tuner with video in / CVBS on it.

You can get sound by using line in on the soundcard, something like an RCA to s-video i think it is for video. RCA x2 - 3.5mm for sound

You'll probably need some program, that can record the video / audio (and capture it from the video in / CVBS connection)

I used to do it with the Leadtek Deluxe tuner I've got here.

Install that / the drivers / the program from the Leadtek site.

Select CVBS in the program, record it, and it'll save it as an Mpeg 2 file

Then burn it to DVD

The only other way you could probably do it, is by firewire

738890 2009-01-15 06:42:00 If you are wanting to put video tape onto DVD then buy a DVD/Hardrive recorder. You can connect up your video recorder to it then record to the hardrive then burn to DVD.

738891 2009-01-15 06:46:00 You can do it either way, with something thats got video in / s-video on it (but you'll need a program to record the video/audio). Or a DVD recorder Speedy Gonzales (78)
