Dear all
I wish to do above and my pc has a PCI firewire card on it. I was wondering whether it would be possible to capture the video through this card. The vhs player has scart and svideo outputs on it. If this is possible please can anyone indicate what cable would I need to do the job.
Your kind help would be appreciated
Ian

Thank you for the information. What confuses me is that one CAN capture video to a firewire card from a camcorder. I have done it myself
Please do you know if it is possible to capture video from a vhs player to a usb port?
Your kind assistance is appreciated

No, you're not capturing video. The camcorder is downloading digital data to the computer, that is received as a digital video file (DV AVI) on the computer end. But it's still just (a specialized format of) digital data.

Again no, not without a capture device. There are both PCI and USB devices, but you need one or the other.

Check the OUTPUTS on the VCR. DVHS have firewire, but not standard players. No USB on anything, SFAIK.
Now, you need a matching INPUT on the PC.
These INPUTS will be found on a Capture Card.

Some camcorders have analogue inputs and allow you to pass analogue video through the camera, where it is converted to DV and passed down the firewire to your PC.
