I would go to a place like Ebay, and type in "tuner card" You will find what you are looking for. You don't have to buy, you will know what's available.

You need a video capture card. ATI makes some pretty affordable ones that do a decent job. There are others out there but I've used ATI a lot and have generally been very pleased with the results. If you purchase one new you should get the software you need to do what you want.

I have had no problem with the Dazzle,as it converts analog from your VCR and changes it to a digital format yor computer knows.

Dazzle seems worth checking out, Pricegrabber.com list $70-$140. Don't know if tuner is important, Not sure if dazzle has tuner.
Is handy for receiving without external tuner.
