wilbasket23,
from the link you provided, it seems as tho your capture card has both a composite and s-video input. One of these will match your VCR. Most likely it will be the composite terminal. That is the one towards the bottom of the capture card. The S-video connector has mulitple pins and requires a special cable. The composite cable is generically a simple stereo type cable. Of course for better capture you would need a better quality cable (shielded helps a lot). Then just connect the video out on the VCR to the same type connector on your capture card. Remember this is just a video capture card. In order to capture the audio you will need to connect the audio out on your VCR to some sound ports on your PC that are either built in or via an add on audio card.
Then launch your favorite capture software and have lots of fun.
