Cool

If only it was as easy as that!

You would need something to capture the video from your vcr to your pc. Pinnacle do this. As do others.

Software for capturing, editing and rendering, again Pinnacle do this so do others like ulead.

You'd need a fairly decent CPU, Memory and Hard drive, as rendering can take quite a while and uses lots of hard drive space.

There are several other threads on here somewhere on this type of topic just do a search and you should find them.

edit: just seen there is an article in the oct issue of personal computer world on this subject, in depth on how to etc....
