You will need some way to capture to the PC. Most people use a card of some description, but there are other ways, such as devices that connect via USB or IEEE 1394 port. There is a volumous expanse of information at your disposal to the left there. Start with the "Capture Cards" section.

If you're copying to PC you will need a capture card, but if you're copying to a standalone DVD-burner all you need is a Smart Lead SCART-Cable (removes Macrovision).

you also need a BIG and FAST harddrive.
and a FAST cpu if you want to save hi res and/or compressed (e.g. MPEG2).
