I think you could do it with a TV capture card of some kind, but I don't know what you'd specifically need to connect a VCR to it.
Depends on the output of the camcorder, TV/capture card as suggested above or direct Firewire connection if the camcorder has it. Might be worth sticking your head into the Photo & Video forum down at the bottom of the main page.
ok thanks for the help, I will start another thread in there an unsubscribe to this thread. will this delete the thread? sorry but I don't really know how to do much on forums. kind regards Murray
