I wanna hook my VCR up to my computer to burn HOME MOVIES all I have is an RCA cord now do I feed the wires into the computer though the sound card and then into my VCR or do I have to have somthing in the middle I went to best buy and asked and the guy pointed me towards this thing that connected into a USB port and had an AUDIO video S cable jack on it cant I just hook the VCR into the sound card and then turn on windows movie maker and start recording or do I need that USB thing I was discribing if anyone knows what that thing is called feel free to tell me that too Good lord, buy a book on punctuation.

Typically you cannot simply hook a vcr up to your computer as there's no PLACE to hook it into. If you've got a sound card, then you've got a way to record audio from your tapes. But if you don't have a tv tuner, you can't capture the video. That's what the guy was trying to sell you at best buy, and they can range ANYWHERE from 20 bucks to 500 bucks, depending on your features.
