How to connect VCR(VHS) to Camcoder(DV)?

[paul8883]

Hi, I'm new to capturing. I would like to convert my old video tape(VHS) to VCD. The idea is to use either a passthrought function of my camcoder (have dv in/out and av in/out and s-video) to capture the vhs video tape to PC via firewire or record directly to dv tape in camcoder, so I can later copy it via firewire to PC.

But I have no way to setup the connection between VCR(2 EU SCART and one front AV(RCA)) and Camcoder (S-Video, AV(RCA)). I try to connect the AV (VCR RCA) to AV (Camcoder RCA). But No signal. Seems AV(RCA) if VCR is only for INPUT.

Any idea to setup the connection? (VCR -> Camcoder).

By the way, the direction Camcoder -> VCR works (via RCA)

Thanks in advanced

what kind of vcr is it? does it have any other connections on the back? usually the front rca are for input only.

it's philips. There are two SCART connectors in the back. bb from doom9 told me I may need the SCART-RCA adapter. I'll try it.
Thanks anyway
