How to capture from analogue cam?

[Ally7]

I have an old analog camcorder with a lot of footage of the kids as they grew up that i'd like to convert to dvd. I have a gf4 with vivo, and a dvd writer (pioneer) and software (various inc media creator 7). I can see how vid is captured, but what about the audio - does that happen automatically. The software only refers to "video" cature and editing, and how to add "soundtracks" etc. I just want the original speech and baby noises etc. What do i do? - yes i do see there is an audio "out" hole on the cam corder and i assume i can connect that to the audio in on my soundcard but when i use say roxio (or ulead or whatever) does it capture the vid and aud at same time. Sorry if i seem thick but this is new to me.

Whatever software you use to capture will capture video and audio as long as you configure the settings properly and the audio out from your cam is plugged into line-in on your sound card.

I tried that myself using a Pinnacle box. It skipped so much I gave up. That box is now sitting in a landfill somewhere.
Send those tapes out to a pro and save the yourself the grief. Some people have had more success then me. Go ahead and roll the dice.

Sure,send the tapes to a pro and get charged a few hundred dollars or learn and do a proper job like a few thousand here who capture with great results(myself included).
