I'm in the process of burning some stuff from VCR tape to disc. I was told the best/easiest way was to do it thru your camcorder as if u were recording directly from the camcorder to ur pc
Apparantly ur camcorder needs sommat called 'pass through' which converts the analogue picture to digital and then the PC can record it thru whatever software u use to edit.
I'm using a laptop to try and do it so not sure if this applys to a PC, but the way I'm trying to do it needs an interface card (IEEE 1394 To CardBus ???) and lead to connect to ur cam. My cam doesn't have pass thru so i'm waiting to borrow one to see if it deffo works.
The card and lead cost me £40 and I needed it anyhow to record from my cam to the laptop so if this works its a bonus..!!!
I'm in no way an expert so might be wrong, but the guy who told me all this is a pc nerd and friend of the missus so it may be hunky dory...
