    All you really need is a good capturing program! I cant really make any good suggestion though because i dont encode VHS to VCD!! As for the cables, you can get a set of cables to connect a VCR to your computer, just read your documentation that came with the video card to be sure of exactly what you need!

    thanks dela.<p>
    the smart arse clerk at the electronics store said a video card will not perform the function/s of video capture...one prog i had in mind though_ has been "Power VCR 2" by Cyber
    link.

    What are you on about?? You need a tv-in connection with your video card to actually be able to use Power VCR in the first place!
