how to use vcr with comcast cable box tv?
370694
Plug the end of the coaxial cable that is going into your TV from the cable box into the "IN" on your VCR.  Then connect a cable from the "OUT" of your VCR into your TV.\n\nYour VCR will have to stay on the same channel that your TV had to be on (usually 3 or 4).  You will then still use the cable remote to change the channels.\n\nThose are the basics, although there are more ways if you need help.

If you have the yellow, white, and red wire you are all set.\nFirst you have to connect the cable companys cable to the VHS and then connet the colored wire to the T.V. then insert a cassest into the VHS and press record when the show starts

You will need a TV tuner card, and more likely, a RF adapter to turn your RCA video into coax compatible.\n\nThen, just run your coax into your PC tv tuner card, and you should see video.

You need to have a video card that has an exit for TV set. I think one of GeForces does that. You just have to plug the cordes, and have your TV set show the image, then use your VHS to record the image as if you would record a TV show on a Sat night :)\n\nYou can also find a digital camera, plug to your computer, record the data, have the camer plugged to your TV, and then do the regular casette recording..

Yes.  You will need a tv tuner card or some sort of video and audio inputs on the pc.  You will then have to capture the video and audio.  A lengthy process.  Comcast locks down the DVR so you can not take the media any easy way.

Capture the VHS video to a computer video editing program using an analog-to-DV converter,  encode it to MPEG-2 and author a DVD.\n\nYour computer must have a video capture card (or a similar device) that can capture or convert the analog video signal from the VHS tape to a digital format.  \nOR\nGraphics Cards with Video Capturing Capabilities are a new commodity being produced by graphics card manufacturers. These cards incorporate video capturing capabilities so you don’t need an additional video card\n\nSOFTWARE :\nPower Direct...Show BIZ DVD....Studio Plus....Nero

You need some kind of video capture device.  There are really cheap ones that connect to the RCA cables of your VCR and into your computer through USB.  You capture in the film raw and then edit it with your Windows Movie Maker product.\n\nExample: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1205037,00.asp

This question was answered here, but I will post the answer here again for your convienience, slightly modified.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuGGcEWJPSzIwL6GmdwiYJbsy6IX?qid=1006052646934\nTO expand:\n\nFirstly you need a video capture card. Most of the newer cards come with a PVR or other kind of recording application.\n\nyou may have various options for connecting your VCR to your Capture card depending on the VCR and the Capture card.\n\nIf you are using a normal RF you will have to set the channel into the software you are using just like you would set a televison to pick up signals from the vcr. Your Camera will probably allow you to out put the video and audio to ordinary RCA cables. \n\nIf the capture card has an composite input and and adapter to accept accept RCA ( i am thinking how mine works, it may vary), then you can attach the video out RCA to the composite using a standerd RCA cable. For the audio you would connect the the audio out to your sound card or video capture card depending on your software recorders sound input and recording settings. You can get a mini jack to rca cable from an electronics store, my VCR has stero ou so i use a DUAl RCA to mini-jack cable. If your camera has a steareo RCA outs to male plugs you will need to get a FEMALE to FEMALE connector for each point (some call it a joiner) so you can plug your camera RCA  into the RCA to  mini jack\n\nBefore you start recording you may need to set a capture profile. If you have a really good PC you can capture at full frame MPEG2. You must also specify the capture size, frame rate and bitrate( i prefer constant but variable will do). The higher the bitrate the better the quality and the more space you are going to need.\n\nMy profil is set as follows: MPEG2, 3000kbps constant bitrate, 720x576, 25 fps (thats PAL, for NTSC set it to 720x480 and 23.97 or 29.97, i am not sure what the correct frames is for NTSC but it's one of theose).\n\nAUDIO: 192kbps Mpeg2. (you can set higher if you like).\n\nWith the above profile a 30 minute video takes up just over 1.3 gigabytes of space.\n\nI dont reccommend recording directly to a lternative compressed format like Divx/xvid. MPEG 2 will tak alot of space.\n\nIn your recording software, put it on the channel or input you wish to record. Press play on the VCR/camera and then Record in the software at the place you want to start recording. when it's done stop recording.\n\nYour dvd writer should have come with the neccasary software to convert the resulting video to a DVD. Some of these packages can capture the video directly into the application, so check out our software first. A little bit of the information should be available with the manual of your dvd-writer. These days they put that on the driver disk.\n\nI hope that helps you.

I have actually done exactly what you want.  Here's the short answer:\n1.  Buy a video capture card.\n2.  After installing it, use the software that comes with it to record video.\n3.  Play the video you want to record (like a VHS tape).\n4.  After the tape is finished, you'll have to stop the software.\n5.  Repeat for each video tape.\n\nLonger answer:\nI bought a PCI video capture card.  As long as it can do 640 by 480 or 720 by 480 you're good.  Cheap ones are less than fifty bucks.  More expensive ones just come with better software.  You can get the software seperately.  A cheap one will just record to MPEG-1 or something weak like that.  The better ones give you more options of file type.  when I did it I didn't have a DVD burner, just a CD burner so I chose options that ended up with ugly quality.  I plan to go back and do it again sometime now that I have a DVD burner so I can use the highest quality settings.  By the way, as long as you're doing this for your own use only, I think it's perfectly legal.

I just plug in my VCR to the back of my TV Tuner Card (Ledtek PVR 200) Have it direct burn to DVD if I wish. Just hit play on the vcr and record on the PVR software. Of course you need a DVD burner too. The TV tuner cost $60 and the DVD burner $40 at www.newegg.com and most people have a VCR player laying around.

You could get a TV Capture card. They are anywhere from $30 on up. The webcam would be an input device and you just hit the record button on the software to record. TV Capture cards can also record TV and VHS if you have the right inputs, very nice to have!\nA great software to caputure video is Active Webcam\nhttp://www.pysoft.com/ActiveWebCamMainpage.htm

If you want to record and watch TV on your PC then there is only one name that comes to mind, Hauppauge.\n\nI use the Win TV PVR USB2 where I have connected the VCR and convert all my old videos to digital.\n\nHave Fun!!!\n\nBattery Wizard
