After getting the driver installed for the WinTV card
I started to look at hookups to get a vhs tape duplicated
via the WinTV card.

What I found was composit hookup but nothing explicitly
for an old unit that just has RF out via coax cable
to the tv.

Is there any way to use a Win TV card (1998) to capture
from the old Emerson vhs player? If there is a guide
with the hookups please point to that. Experienced users
of the WinTV card please reply with your experiences as well.

Ok, I am renewing this thread because not much came back
in the way of starting points for me as a noob video
capturer. :-/

I have learned a few things: WinTV32 gives me an error
where I installed it from a cd I made from a previous
download and install.

The error reads:

WinTV initialization error: A required component
(hcwChan.dll) is missing.

the hardware that my Hauppauge WinTV card is installed
is an old AOpen board with K-6 AMD processor on
Win98SE.

The source is a vhs player made by Emerson. It has
RCA for video and audio plus antenna connects on BNC
cable ends (same as cable tv) which would normally go to
my tv.

Ny first goal is to get at least a picture on the
monitor showing that the card is working. WinTV32
has errored out.

My research at some other forums (Doom9) said that a
program called VirtualDub is a preferred program for
capturing. Would this install install the needed dll's
or is this an irrelevant question for a different program?

I'm stuck.

I'm using this old machine to experiment before moving
the board to my main system.

The simplest test for me would be to get/use a
free software and hook up the vhs player via the BNC
antenna to the channel in of the Hauppauge card and
establish some playback from a vhs tape to be captured.

How can this be most simply done and under which software
which has no price tag?

Thanks in advance for the usual afterdawn superb help.
