In VirtualDub, click File, Capture AVI.
This will open up a different window.
You can now set all your options, first look in Video, Source, and select the source.
Next do Video, format, select 320x240 YUY2.
Next do Capture, settings, tick Capture audio, set the framerate, leave the other stuff, click OK.
Next do Capture, Preferences, set the default capture driver, the path and filename for the saved cap, click OK.
Next click Video, Compression, choose your codec. Configure it.
Now hit F6.
Right click the mouse to stop the capture.
Test the file.
If you can't see the video before capture, click Video, Preview, instead of Video, Overlay.
The picture may be jerky, or fuzzy, but don't worry, that's just what you see on the screen, NOT what the actual capture will look like.

You have other issues with your computer.
VirtualVCR just works. It doesn't mess with your desktop video settings, unless you try a fullscreen output, using the wrong colorspace.
I would probably reformat the computer, and start fresh. Sounds like you've got driver conflicts, possibly a ton of extra junk floating around in the registry, etc.
When was the last time you emptied the temp folder?
Have you defragged lately?
Have you checked the disk for errors?
How many icons do you have by the clock?
Are you running Norton crashguard/antivirus/firewall/protected recyclebin/thewholestupidpackageofbloatware?
Did you disable any of this stuff when you tried installing?

OK,I followed the instructions you gave me to record from my vhs.I did all the settings.Questions:
set framerate-Just click on round to the nearest milisecond?
set default capture driver-Is C:\Capture.AVI correct?
It doesn't save the video to my video files?But I was able to make a test and play back the video,however I don't get any sound on playback?? teleman@ids.net
Is there instructions that come with this program?

Set framerate to 29.97fps for NTSC, or 25fps for PAL.
Click on the config button, and tell it where to save the AVI. Something in there allows for keeping audio as well, I know there's something.
Unfortunately, my cap card quit, and I've removed virtualvcr, sorry.

Okie, try it and see how you like it.
Teleman, you need an encoder. You should have something like Sonic MyDVD, Pinnacle Studio, Vegas, NeroVision Express, something, anything that will take the AVI, allow you to edit it, and encode it, then author it. The software that came with your other card should do it too.
If not, get a standalone encoder such as Mainconcept, Canopus Procoder Express, CCE, or TMPGEnc.
Then you'll need to author it (make the mpeg into dvd format). I use DVDLab, but there are others. Some of the stuff I mentioned above will encode, author and burn, all in one application.
What software DO you have, that you think might work?
I can then give you some specific pointers for it.

Great! Open Sonic, load your file, and make a movie.
It's a very simple to use, basic interface, but it works (hey, it's by Sony!)
According to the Sonic page, it will accept avi's or mpegs as input.

Um...I haven't got Sonic, so I'm not sure, but if you open the program and select NEW project...something should happen...prompting you to load the AVI.

Get Sonic to write it to the hard drive, instead of burning it, then use DVDShrink to make it fit.
Your other option is to look in Sonic's settings for bitrate/quality, and slide it down a notch or two.

mmm,interesting.How many programs do I have to use?Doesn't anyone have one program that'll do all of this??So far,I use virtual dub,to capture video,next I use sonic my DVD,to edit and chapter the scenes,and now I need to use DVD Shrink?DVD shrink is good for shrinking VHS also? OK I'll try that.I did try to reduce the quality some on my DVD but it still didn't have enough space to get the whole VHS to DVD. I do have the vhs saved on the hardrive,can I just send it to DVD Shrink?? teleman@ids.net

Sonic should have figured out the size and given you a DVD automatically. I don't know why it didn't.
Shrink is just another option, although not a good one. If Sonic has any options for bitrate/quality, try them.
I don't know what "codec 1 and codec 2" means, but you should probably read the manual to find out, as it could make a TON of difference, and could be why Sonic says it won't fit.
