What kind of cable do you need to capture a VHS to your com

[Phillydogg]

puter? I have the Nero software and is the only thing I have to do is put the cable in the USB port and turn on the VHS and tape?

Um no. You have to have a capture card to record. They use either svideo or rca cables.

Theres a good list of them. Do some reading too.

I have the right video card. I am asking what type of cable do I need to plug in the VCR to the USP Port. Is it a IEE 1394 Cable or something else.

Assuming a VHS VCR. What kind of output does your VCR have? Maybe S-video, more likely composite. Unless you have a USB converter box? Then you would use a USB cable.

If you have a regular capture card, you would put the video out from your VCR to the video in on your capture card. The audio would either go to your audio card in or your video card audio in.

Telling us what exact capture device, card or otherwise you have would clear all this up quickly.

So a 4X AGP video card is not a capture card? Anyway thank you all for your help I appreciate it.

Not unless it has video input capability, not all of them do.
