    I want to copy by VHS tpaes of family home movies from my VCR before it fails and I don't know where to start or what information is relevant

    My VCR has SCART socket and I have a collection of cables including adapaters for DIN type connection

    My PC is a Packard Bell IXTREME X2711 PB81X06201 with

    Intel core 2 quad processor Q6600

    2 GB of memory

    nVidia GeForce 8500 GT (display adapter)
    conectors are; DVI? Coax type, DVI? Multipin , VGA – monitor , S-Video

    tv tuner anlogue/digital – listed as AUSTeK Tiger 2 Capture device by device manager
    data sheets says analogue video is sampled by ADCs, decode by multi-line and active comb filters
    conector audio/video input for spider cable with; audio L/R RCA input, S-Video mini-DIN, compostite RCAvideo input, internal tv audio output

    Realtek High Def. audio

    Operating system is Vista Home Premium, Windows Movie Maker installed

    What to do first?
    Can I use the s-Video connector on the AUSTeK card for analogue input from the SCART connector on the VCR?

    All help appreciated

    I'm new here and wondering why I have not had any reply!

    Is this the correct place for this query?

    Have I unintentional asked my question in a "bad" way?

    Should I have broken the question down or provide more or less information

    I'm really stuck and don't what to do!

    All comments appreciated

    thanks for reading my message

  3. Install the software that came with the capture card. Connect the VCR to the capture card's composite or s-video input depending on what your VCR and SCART adapters support. Start the capture software that came with your card. Select whichever input you are using, composite or s-video. Start capturing.
