Guys,

Hope you do not mind if I bring back an old thread. I tried emailing Randy but guessing he is swamped at work.

I want to copy some old VHS tapes to my computer so I can toss the tapes. Lots of old stuff, most of it before copy-write was invented.

I have a NVida 9400GT video card in the computer that has the small round port on it, so plugged the adapter into the card and the RGB connectors into the cables going to the VCR. Turned it on and hit play and am totally lost from there. Video may have been coming into the computer but you could not tell it by me.

I have Adobe Premier Elements V7, as well as Roxio Creator DE, whatever that is. Have no idea how to get from here to capturing video.

Anyone help a novice?

Also found a funny little box in the pile of cords and electronic stuff that I have a few days ago. Says "Rainbow video products, multi-system (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) (something from the old military days no doubt) copyguard corrector. Am guessing that this might be nice to have if someone is trying to remove the copy-guard on a video?

Joe A
