VCR to Computer

• 1). Plug the video adapter into the computer's USB port. Run the male-to-male RCA cable from the red, white and yellow output jacks on the VCR to the same-colored input jacks on the video adapter. Power on the VCR, and load the VHS cassette you want to record.
  
  
• 2). Start the video capture software on your computer. Input your desired capture settings (file format, resolution, etc.)
