getting video onto the comp
My bro just left to go do research at his school and he took his video camer with him. Now all ive got is an old JVC compact vhs recorder from '96 (model number gr-ax74 if that helps at all) does anyone know how i can get video from the compact video cassettes onto my computer? The manual only tells how i can get it to play through a VCR or TV.

you need a video capture device. Pinacle makes a good one, an All In Wonder card would also work if you want an all-in-one solution too.

Re: getting video onto the comp
I have the Pinnacle AV/DV card. AV is the analog video you have. It uses a RCA style plug or an S-video plug. It's capable of input and output. You'll need to use the analog one (I have a similar camera) The DV is a 6-pin firewire port. I don't have a digital camera, but I didn't have any firewire ports either. I got the PCI card, I think it's better than the USB version.

Anywhere from $30 to $200 depending on the quality, features, and name brand you want.

I have that. All of the reviews point to problems, but it's because they all have weak computers! The software runs fine for me, and I'll post my specs below for you. Windows XP home 2.66GHz P4 Northwood 512 System Ram 128mb Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 400W Power supply I wouldn't suggest working with video unless you have a P4. Pentium 4 is the best intel processor for compressing and decompressing movies. I hae no clue how well AMD does. They are probably faster and run cooler!

This is what I had before I got a digital camcorder. It was the cheapest name brand with analog that I could find at the time, so I went with it. It's pretty good, no USB problems, everything ran fine. Also comes with a Pinnacle Studio to edit which integrates perfectly with the capture device.

Re: getting video onto the comp
eversio- I was tempted to get that instead, but I have a VCR on my desk that I connect to the capture card, so I never have to crawl around to make a connection, I just plug in the VHS-C into an adapter and import it through the VCR.
You know any software that'll let me watch those VCR videos at full screen?

Re: getting video onto the comp
I hear good things about Cyberlink PowerVCR
Or, alternatively, check out software that comes bundled with TV Tuner PCI cards.
