You need a 'video capture card'. These cards are installed in a PCI slot =
on your motherboard and at the back of the your computer allow you to =
connect to either S-Video or Composite Video connection on your VCR or =
Camera. The better quality is acheived via the S-Video connection. There =
are a lot of Capture Cards on the market and they vary in price and very =
much in quality. Work out what you want to use it for first. I reccomend =
the Miro range of capture cards because they come with good =
documentation and are very reputable in the market place. I have a Miro =
DC30 Plus and am pretty happy with the product. However, be aware that =
capturing video is the most intensive operation your computer is ever =
likely to do, therefore you need a good quality system with high specs. =
RAM is not enough. Also you need a quality Hard Drive with high data =
transfer rates. I  am probarly just being perdantic, but I use the best =
to get the best results. Good luck and prepare yourself for a lot of =
time to get this all up and running.
