Hi there..can anyone please tell me how I go about connecting my DELL notebook (INSPIRON 5150) to my vcr so I can edit my movies on my notebook....what do I need to do...use...buy...thanks so much...
You need a capture device, since its a laptop I would look into a usb type. Its basically an adapter that accepts the inputs from the vcr (yellow/red/white) and transfers it to the pc via a usb slot. Online you can find them at Newegg.com as a capture device (or card for tower pc's) and Best buy or Circuit City should have a few on the shelf. If your a Republican and have lots of money to throw around you can get an external dvd and capturing device in one, Sony makes a couple like this and it can act as several devices at once. Sony calls it DvdDirect (google it and see what you think).
