VCR to Computer

Is there a way i can hook up a VCR to my computer? I am taking a Telecourse at my college, so my entire semester's lectures are on VHS. (stupid school, I pay them enough money, can't give me DVD's?)

im unsure of the name but there is a device that lets u connect vcr's, video cameras, etc to a computer. it has RCA inputs on it. looks sort of like a external hard drive.

Its called a tv tunner card. radeon makes the all in wonder. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16815294004
here is one by radeon for $45. It hooks up with coaxial cable. fairly easy to instll and use, I need to get a new one my self, mine sucks, but is old technology.

mm, ok, forget about it then. i'm not gonna buy that card. I figured it'd be easier to watch them in my room rather than to go to the living room TV.

There are other cards that have rca, I think mine actually might, but im not sure, I havent used it in a while.

Much easier to watch it on a TV

Depends on the tv, its easier for me to hook my xbox to my computer because my monitor gets better picture than my tv, but thats what I get for having a 20 year old tv too.

Monitors generally get better resolution than televisions... however devices like DVD players, and video game players only output as good of resolution as a television gets. (525 for standard NTSC or 1080 for high definition.)

My computer monitor (which is a pretty nice one) has of 1600 X 1200 with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Compared to my HD television set, 1920 by 1080 with a 16x9 aspect ratio.

The other bit that plays an important role is the refresh rate. My computer draws a new picture on the monitor 75 times every second. My television only redraws the picture 30 times a second.

Yeah the monitor hets better picture than my tv, but both still suck.
