There's no 'app' and nothing free. Between the VCR and the computer you have to install a capture card, a USB capture device, a DV device such as a Canopus box, buy a DVD recorder, take your pick.

With a little looking around you can find many suggestions and solutions.

Look at the 'Software' section of the site for 'capture' tools. Some are free.

The issue is the drivers that your card supports so, since you do not even know what that is, you will just have to try them. And without drivers the card will not work regardless of software.

My guess is that it is a easyc(r)ap and drivers are not so easy to come by for Win7

Does the device show up in the list of connected USB devices, and/or whatever Win7 is calling the Device Manager these days? Whatever name it appears under might provide a clue. Also, it's probably a long shot, but it might even help to post a picture of what the USB capture device looks like here. Someone may recognize it.

Start/Control Panel/Device Manager

Actually easier to find than with XP

"The issue is the drivers that your card supports so, since you do not even know what that is, you will just have to try them. And without drivers the card will not work regardless of software."
