If it's exactly the same, your PC has RCA video/audio
inputs on the back as part of the TV tuner card.
Mine also has RCA and Svideo, inputs on the front,
but they are connected internally to that same
TV tuner card. It also has firewire, which I use
with my video camera.
You need some recording application that can access
those inputs. Window's Movie Maker 2 is free,
and can probably do the job. Once you've captured
the video, you need it in a format that your DVD
burning software can use. It's up to you to figure
that out.
If you have all the hookups, but the image looks
corrupted, you may be encountering Macrovision
copy protection. To get past that you'll need
a SIMA video stabilizer or something similar.
Good luck.
I am using Pinnicle version 9 ordered from
www.jr.com to back up my paid for and owned to transfer my Vhs video to my NEC 6500 DVD+ internal drive at 4 x write speed. I use Nero Ultimate 6 or Ezy Creator 7 to start the burning process, I use the The Stripemaster from
www.icos-tech.com to cancel out the macrovision going to my Dell Inspiron-8600 Notebook. for back up covers I use Paint Shop Pro 9.01.1 or Dell Image Expert to make the 10.80 X 7.24 inches high with no UPC code or studio label. To get the right size to fit in a keep case, last year I bought a X-Acto guillitine paper cutter at
www.staples.com for $29.95. :)
