ES3,
You're going to need to purchase a analog to digital video converter. There's quite a few on the market. The easiest ones are the USB models, so you don't even have to open up your computer. With one of these converters, you play your VHS into the converter and it creates a file on your computer. Usually they let you choose the format - AVI. WMV, MPG4, etc. You have to make a choice on file size verses quality. Oh, and if you use a USB model make sure you have USB2 on your computer. The original USB just doesn't have enough bandwidth.
