How to Connect the VCR & the Computer
Connecting a VCR to a computer is an easy way to save home movies for years to come. Video tape disintegrates over time, no matter how well it is stored, which can destroy precious home videos. Transferring these movies to your computer allows you to save the images to your hard drive, where they can be saved and viewed. The movies can also be burned to DVD.
