I am able to capture sound using Audacity but don't know about capturing the video part... Surely the card you have would allow you to copy to your VCR? I don't know about that card so I'm not sure... But, from your VCR you'd have to then convert the analog info to digital for use by the computer requiring another program such as TEMPGEnc... Anyway, I did a search on the net and found this: http://emoney.al.ru/capture-streaming-video-and-audio/ maybe it'll help?
