3. Hook Up the Hardware
Read your video capture box manual carefully, or run the video tutorial on the software installation CD-ROM (if one is included there). You'll need a fair amount of room to set everything up. Here's a typical approach:
Turn off your PC, and connect the video capture device to your PC's printer port and the AC adapter to the box. Connect one end of the main cable bundle that came with the box to your PC's serial port, and plug the other end into your camcorder's remote control jack. If you're using your camcorder's IR control, position the camera and the VCR next to each other, and make sure that the IR transceiver on the cable points toward both of them.
Next, connect a video cable (standard composite video or S-Video if your camcorder is so equipped) between your camcorder's video-out jack and the video-in jack of the video capture box. Attach a cable from the video-out jack of the capture box to the video input of your VCR.
Connect an audio cable from your camcorder's audio-out jack to the line input of the sound card on the back of your PC. Finally, attach an audio cable from the sound card's output to the VCR's audio input.
