basicly what you need is a TV capture card - one that you can connet your VCR to and then its just like recording tape to tape - press play on the tape and record on you PC.
nice to see new people are invited with open arms here! |
Apology accepted!

I don;t mean this things as much as I might come across but I do find, repsectfully, that these things are best slapped down early. Now then, on to the question and answers...
This reply is pretty much what I would have said. the only difference I would have made is use the term 'Analogue to digital converter' instead of 'TV capture card' but they amount to the same in most cases anyway.
As to presets and stuff in Premiere. Just use the standard PAL or NTSC presets you might normally choose. By the time you've captured your footage you wiull have standard 4:3 PAL or NTSC (depoending on where you are) anyway.
All the other questions fall out of the choice of project preset and fast become irrelevant (well not really but you don't have to fret over choosing them as they are already chosen and specified in the preset).
If you need more then just ask.
