You can connect the video recorder by the interface supported by the video recorder. The common interfaces are USB, Firewire, or S-Video.
Firewire (technical ref name is IEEE 1394) comes on all Macintosh computers, many PC's and can be added to most PC's with a card. Most recent video devices will provide coax cable, Firewire, USB, or S-video or some combination of those. Note that S-video is picture only, and you will still need a wire to carry the audio (line-out) if you use S-video for the picture, whereas Firewire and USB will carry both video and audio.
VCR OUT to Computer IN: (record from VCR to your computer)
VCR or Camcorder with analog output to their computer in order to "record" their video to their computers hard drive for editing or to make Video CD's, DVD's or to put on the web. What you need will depend on the "size" and quality of the video you are going to need, and what the videos will be used for. If you just want to "capture" a 352x288 pixel sized video (a small screen on your desktop like you would see on Internet video clips) then a Video to USB adapter will be fine. This will not be good for editing and recording back to your VCR or Camcorder, for doing this you need to capture "full screen video". If you want to capture "full screen" (usually considered 640x480 pixels which is basically the same as American "NTSC" standard Television) then you will need something that can handle quite a bit more "bandwidth" (larger quantity of data per second) than USB can handle. For an analog video capture card we have Video Capture PCI Cards and USB connected A/V Interfaces
If you have a surround sound receiver, you can either connect through the capture card or connect directly to the receiver. To connect the audio input of your computer, you should use the "line" input of your sound card. You use a 3.5mm mini stereo phone plug to RCA jack adapter with a RCA jack stereo cable which goes to the audio output of your VCR or other audio source. Here are the parts you need if you are using your internal audio card: 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug to RCA Cables.
Or you'll need an adapter cable and a stereo cable. 3.5mm stereo mini phone plug to RCA jack adapters RCA jack stereo cable
If you are using a Pro or Semi-Pro Analog Audio/Video Capture card that captures both audio and video and uses different connectors, then it would depend on your specific model which audio or video adapter, if any, you would need. Basically, if the signals are the same, you just need to match up the connectors. A VCR will always use stereo (two) RCA jacks for audio and a signal RCA (yellow color coded) jack for composite video. Some Pro or Semi-Pro Models use S-Video jacks or BNC jacks for composite video.
