VCR through PC

I'm using XP Pro and was trying to route the VCR to the
PC.

My primary goal here is to listen to my VCR-tapes on my
PC. I don't need to capture or record or edit...just
listen.

Extra credit for being able to view the VCR-tape picture.

Does XP have anything built-in that can handle all this?

Thanks.
Rog.

The simplest, easiest and cheapest way to listen to VCR
tapes over the PC speakers, is to go to Radio Shack and
buy a speaker splitter. It costs about $3.00
To also have a video transmitter to the PC is another
story. You'll need a video editor such as Adobe to
change the setting from analog to digital. Or do the
following .........

The way I do it is by taking the RCA cord (with the
yellow,red,and white) and stick the yellow one into the
video in slot on your graphics card (you may need to buy
an adapter). Then, I bought a cable (about 50 cents) from
Radio Shack that converts the regular computer audio jack
into the white and red RCA jacks. I then placed those
into the audio in slot on my motherboard. You can use
many different types of video capture software. Right now
I use adobe. It works well for my purpose of recording
movies.
