Unfortunately ...... it's not that simple! You're probably going to have to make a stab at it B4 you get much advice ........ but the first basic pointer is to get it captured to your hard drive .... so you'll need a capture driver installed for your capture card, cables for video (video in) and audio (line in & TURNED ON) hooked up from your VCR .... then you'll need to fire up your capture software (like Virtualdub) and grab the VHS tape to your hard drive. After that you'll need to encode it for VSD (like TMPGEnc) , then Author it (like SpruceUp or MyDVD), and finally burn to disk (MyDVD or Nero among many others). There are so many ways to do each step, and much software .... so you're probably going to have to do a little research and practice to get the final results you want ........ good luck.

What is your tv card?

Run your mouse pointer over the "Computer Details" at the top of my answer ...... but, it is a Gainward Geforce 4 PowerPack Ultra/650 XP .... long name but that's Gainward .... they like to use fancy names. Video In, Video Out ..... digital connector (which I've never used) ... and it came with some limited (in my view) InterVideo called "WinCinema". It's not a "TV" card (with a tuner) that I can watch TV on ..... if I want to watch TV ... I use the TV ..... 8)
