Record a video file from a VCR

[SHAJAHAN]

Hi,
How can I record a video from a VCR or audio files
from a tape recorder in VB ?

First you will need a video capture card in your machine. Then you need to go to Microsoft.com and download the windows media encoder 8 beta. Get the utility files as well. Read the info on streaming. You might want to do that depending on how you plan to deliver your media. connect to the video card from your vcr. The vcr should be one that has S-Video. Your videos will look better, run smoother etc. Use the software that came with the capture card to capture the video. If you are going to use a straight AVI file, then you can save it to the hard drive and use the windows media player add-in in vb to insert the player, and specify the file to play.
