More confused then before. 1) I have an 5 year old Canon ZR Mini DV recorder. With it I have a docking station that offers V/A and S plug. No USB or Fire Wire. It does a have a mini DV terminal connection to connect it to another DV cameras for recording/playback. I tried NVE 3, Virtual Dub, Win DVD Creator, Win DV and I did try as my last attempt fire wire, but no go, not even close, my OS does not even recognize the camera. Can you advise how I can capture these videos onto my DVD's, later I will try to incorporate those video clips into my dvd slide shows. Each tape is no longer then 35/45 minutes. 2) Capture my VCR tapes to DVD's, that should be fun!!. I can't wait for that high blood pressure.

The docking station onlyt exports analog video. You can use it to capture through an analog capture card. Don't know which type of ZR it is, but I would be surprised that it does not have a DV connection (Firewire) on the camera itself. Here a basic article about video capturing: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/basics/transfer.php
