    I was wondering: If I have a tape from my camcorder, and I want to get it onto my computer somehow, does anyone know how I could do this?

    Yeah you're looking at having to get a tv-in card, a decent one will run you maybe $80.

    Ok, thanks! ^_^ So all I do is put the tape in the VCR and capture the thing?

    My friend had this problem actually... not, if you also need a new graphics card, buy one of the Korean GeForce 4's, they have built in TV-in. Ran for under 100 euro last time I saw them on Overclockers.co.uk.

    My two cent.
