how do i get an old video onto my computer?

[ImJustOneOldFart]

Hello friends,

i was cleaning out the basement this past weekend and i came across a box of my old stuff from when i was in a band. there was an old video from a show we did 20 something years ago. Yesssssssssss it was a long haired rock band.....

so i was wondering... how could i quickly and easily (im not too good with these new fangled typewriters thingys with the tv screens) get my vcr hooked into my computer and record the video there for easy upload to Utube or some place like that...

any help is greatly appreciated..

thanks,
the "fartman"  ?.?

no sooner did i post this and you had an answer for me......

i read through it and is sound easy enough for even me to do.
my question now is: they say to connect vcr to computer, can that be into the "inline" jack? i have a few adapters than should help me do this.. i do not however have the standard audio/video jacks in the back of my computer.....

I really couldn't tell you. I've never done this. You might want to ask for help in the microsoft support forums or you might be able to google more info.
