Capturing

Analog Home Video

The TV tuner card of your PC allows you to play television programs in Media Center. The TV tuner card also allows you to connect a VCR, a camcorder, or another analog video device to the PC, and then capture your home video as a file.

You cannot play a television program and capture analog video at the same time: Your PC will automatically restart or experience other problems.
