Can anyone give me information on how to connect a VCR to
my PC? I have a firewire connection and I have a 64MB
NVIDIA Geforce2 MX400 AGP with DVI and TV out. My
computer came with Pinnacle Express software. So I think
I can copy my home movies on VHS to my PC and burn them
on CR. I just don't know how to connect the VCR to the
PC? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Alison

Your graphics card needs to specifically have VIVO capability (video in and
video out) rather than just tv out. TV Out means you can output to a VCR or
to a TV.... however it's a one way only connection. Unless the graphics
card specifically says it has TV In capability it doesn't.
