Are you? Maybe you'd like to enlighten us as to why you're

a) Posting in a WindowsXP *HARDWARE* group

and

b) Too lazy to find the correct group.
 
Basically, you need a capture card or a video card that supports TV In.
You will have to buy one of these then hook up the VCR and follow the
isntructions that came with it as to how to get the VCR to go through.
You should be able to record with the software that comes with it. Then
you will need to buy an MPEG Encoder (I suggest TMPGEnc). Encode to MPEG
II and then burn to DVD.

Find more info on Google or try looking at

Oh look Nathan McFaulty strikes again!

There are several things wrong with this: -

1) You don't know what 'Me' stants for. Suggest you learn - if you're ever
made an MVP it will totally discredit the program.

2) Windows Media Centre is a superset of XP Pro. If he had a system with
MCE on it (which he doesn't - as you'd know if you knew what 'Me' stood for)
he'd have a TV card and, therefore, he wouldn't be asking the question.

3) Why are you sending him to a group which is also nothing to do with
his issue? Not that you've even got the group topic right!

Do some research before posting.
 
Did you even bother to look in the mediacenter newsgroups before you
flamed me? There are at least 10 topics covering how to do this. They
do not always involve MCE. I am currently running MCE right now (a
system I built myself) and I know exactly how it works. I would have
suggested hometheaterpc, but nobody ever lurks in there.

And for the record, ME stands for the worst OS ever released in MS
history since componenets released in its RTM code were still in beta.
Makes me glad I can admit I wasn't in that beta program. Sadly, I
actually paid good money for that OS.

Also, just so you know, MCE does not require a TV Tuner card to install,
it needs one to function properly. You know, I've been nice to you and
I even like your criticism, but can you at least criticize me when I
have done or said something wrong (like the keyboard)? Don't go and say
someone is wrong unless you are sure and trying to help them.

Same with you! It's bad enough we have the retards
Chambers and Frisch discrediting the program already!

Shut your friggin' netcop yap! The more I see and hear of
your posts the more I can tell that Paul Cyr is right
about you! Your great-grandfather obviously lost his
marbles, he continued the blood line that resulted in you!
