You don't technically have to use the device capture list on the software. Just plug your camera into the computer, and click "my computer" and it should come up, and if your camera has a "usb connect" button on it, click that.
You will need a video capture device.
You cannot move a file inside the DVR unit to a computer. But you can record output from the DVR onto computer's hard drive. Buy a USB or PCI 'video capture' device for your computer so that you can connect DVR's analog output (S-video, composite or component for video and RCA or red and white audio) to the video capture device. While a movie is played on the DVR, the computer will record it through the video capture device.

Video capture card is a device, which is used to converting analog video signal to digital form
Video capture cards can be used with any device that has a compatible video output. They are most used with camcorders to transfer content from tape to a computer for editing or mastering but they can also be used with video reorders and players, DVD players, television receivers and security cameras to name a few.
You cannot connect a green screen to your computer, green screens do not have any cables or hardware connections, but you can capture video of a green screen to a computer. To do this you need a video camera, a video capture device, and video editing software. You would connect the video camera to your video capture device, and the device to your computer. You would then open up your video editing program, tell it to capture from your device, and hit record on your video camera. Once you are done recording you would tell the program to stop capturing footage, and then save out the captured footage as whatever file type you want to composite with. Note: a video capture device may not be required if your video camera (and computer) supports either a fire-wire or USB connection.
It is not hard at all to capture a video on a computer using a video capture card. Just make sure that you have a computer, a video capture device, video capture software, and if you want to edit your video you will need Video Editing software. If you want to record your video to DVD you will need DVD recording software. If you want to physically record the DVD you will need a DVD burner.
Digital 8 tapes are transferred to a computer using an USB capture card. A tape player is used to output the video to the capture card which then allows the computer to transfer the video.
No, you should use a bus to connect a capture card to a computer. If you're asking if you should use the S-video port to connect the video device playing the video you want to capture to the card... sure, it's one option, and if your capture card and video device support S-video, it's likely to result in a higher-quality image than using the composite video port will.
It is difficult to recommend a good video capture card device without knowing the specifics of the device that you are going to be using it with. It would be my best advice to speak with a professional who can get the details from you and make the best suggestion.
