You'll need an RCA to 3.5mm jack for this.

Standard audio connecters on PCs are 3.5mm phono sockets. So it's likely that you'll need a 2 x RCA female to 3.5mm phono Jack cable to capture audio. This looks a little something like this:



Simply connect cables two and three from diagram 1 to the colour coded connections on the cable above, then plug the 3.5mm jack into the line in on your soundcard/mother board.

If the camcorder is like mine you only have one white plug / lead for audio ?
I use a cable similar to the one above but mine is a stereo splitter to change mono to stereo. I think you can change your soundcard settings to split the signal too.

Marc,

Any comments on my vcr problem ?

Cheers

Think the new Radeon is a good idea I think you've almost exhausted all avenues, so it's time to treat yourself to some new equipment
