SURE! Video cards can send out the video signal to RCA, S-video, Digital or VGA. The trick will be getting the signal converted to a format that your VCR will accept as an input.  Possible solutions:  A video card with an RCA out or a scan converter that will convert VGA to a format that a TV will accept will work for you.  The scan converter would probably be the easiest solution.

go to the camcorder manufacturer and see if you could download any driver or software that can let your pc to access the files on your camcorder.\nIf not, you need a video capturing card, and it have the software and instruction for turning the video you play into a file, but first you have to make sure it got the socket for the connection, and the tv signal is compatible e.g. Pal or ntsc.

Buy a cheap DVD recorder ($90-$130) and hook it up to your VCR.  It's very easy, just like hooking up a VCR to a TV.  Then follow the DVD recorder's instructions to record it onto a DVD.\n\nMake sure you buy DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs so you can reuse the disks or start over if you mess up.  If you get the cheaper DVD-R or DVD+R discs, these are one shot only and you cannot go back and redo it.\n\nWhatever you do, don't listen to anybody on here that tells you to use a computer.  That is way, way, WAY more complicated.  A set top DVD recorder is far easier and straightforward.

What format are your videos in presently? VHS? If so, you need a capturing device and software. Check out the dazzle for the device and pinnacle for the software.

I assume you are talking about voice / recording and you already have a microphone or line input to your PC. I also assume you have Windows XP.\n\nYou can use the simple (very simple) Sound Recorder that comes with Windows XP: under Programs, Accessories, Entertainment.\n\nAlternatively, you can download freeware, such as Audacity (source below)

Use "MP3MyMP3", it's a free program that can record ANYTHING going through your sound card (assuming you choose the right input device on the program), and allows you to save it to MP3 or MSADPCM WAV. Be careful though, it can slow down your system, as it's rather process intensive if you're trying to record from games (which you don't appear to be doing).\n\nThe website is:\n\nhttp://www.mp3mymp3.com\n\nHope this helps you.

Plug your VCR to a special video card on your PC.  That spacial video card must accept RCA cables input (the red, white and yellow cables from your VCR).  PLay the VCR and using the software that comes with your video card you can record what is played and store it like a .mpg

You can convert VHS tapes into DVDs one of two ways:\n\n1) Use a DVD Recorder (looks like a DVD/VCR combo unit) which retails for anywhere between $175-$300.  You can find these units at most major electronics retailers.\n\n2) Use a PC.  For this method, you will need a fairly fast PC (P4, 2.4gHz or faster, 512mb RAM or better), a quality capture card (e.g. Canopus), and a DVD burner.  You would also need DVD authoring software such as Adobe Premier or ULEAD DVD Workshop.  Your VCR would connect to your PC via the capture card.  \n\nIf customizing home videos is what you are looking to do, the PC route is the better way (though much more expensive).  \n\nIf you are just looking to back up videotapes to DVD with no special menus, graphics, music layers, etc - then the DVD Recorder option is probably the way to go.  It will be just a direct VHS tape to DVD transfer with a generic menu.

based on my experienced. The easiest way to do it is to use web capture program called "Hypercam" http://www.hyperionics.com/hc/index.asp\nit allows you record anything you see on the computer and save as movie file.
