need help :VHS Video footage to DV Cam conversion
ok I'm trying to pull old footage off these haggardassed old tapes I've got from way back when. They're just tapes of me and my friends early adventures in filmmaking. I'm playing them through a VCR and I have it rigged up so that its going into my current camcorder. It's playing in the camcorder, I can see it on the viewfinder and hear it. The question I have is, HOW in the living hell of f*** do I record it onto a tape in my camcorder and make it digital?

You use the camcorder as a VCR. That's why you can see and hear it. I have no idea what type of camera you are using, so my best advice is to refer to the manual.

You can go right to your computer through firewire. Just hook up your camera to the vcr, like you have done and also plug it into your camera using firewire. If you don't have a firewire port on your camera/computer you will have to get an analog capture card, and then you can just capture right through thre vcr.
