VCR to PC

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Apologies if this is already convered; I may not be using the right search terms.

I'm assembling a new PC and thinking in terms of an HDMI-capable motherboard (690G chipset) and complementary 2-megapixel monitor. Should handle DVDs.

But I still, mainly for work reasons, need to look at videotapes every now and then. So the question is how to get the signal from the VCR's coax output into the PC. I believe I want something called a tuner card or a video capture card. Is that right and if so can I just buy the cheapest one I can find, since I need only the input?

Alternatively, are there USB dongles that would do the same thing without taking up a PCI slot?
