How do I record from my Video Cassette Player/Recorder?

[Guest]

How do I Use Windows Movie Maker 2.1 to Record from my VCR to My HP m7360n
Multimedia PC?

HP did not have a clue so they sent me to "Smart Freinds", a paid support
service. I signed up but they had no information on how to do it. I asked
if I was the first person to ask, and they said "Yes"! The told me to call
back in a few days while they did research.

I've got my Video Cassette Player hooked up to the composite video (yellow)
and Audio (white & Red) audio jacks in my state of the art HP m7360n
multimedia PC. All I get is black in the preview window after I click the
"Start Capture" button. The timer counts up. The file size counts up. But
when I play it back, all I get is what I previewed--black.

All I want to do is copy a two minute news video clip that I recorded from
my TV (to a VHS cassette tape) to my hard disk.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!
