Heh you're in luck. Capture is one of my current hobbies. To make a long story short, that guy above was right in that there are numerous "tv" capture cards available, from $30-hundreds. It's very possible to capture from a VCR, depending how you connect it (regular cable or RCA/composite). I have a ATI TV Wonder Pro at the moment with a Radeon 9500 working the graphics side, and it came with a USB attachment that handles composite and svideo, and it works with a VCR. I'm not absolutely certain hooking the vcr to the cable input on the tv card would work, but it should. There are numerous brands besides ATI, hauppage being the most popular. Whatever card you get, the program that comes with should work fine. however, doom9.net has lots of good guides about video capture and editing video, especially in their forums. good luck.
