So I need a newer VCR that has the "red, white, yellow AV output" so that my puter will be able to access both Right and Left sound lines?

 

[MAMA_C]

I have searched my puter for everything I can find, to help me with this. Unless Dell did not add all the things they say they did? If that is the case, then I am not sure where to start... I am so frustrated!

LOL adaywayne, um well no specks like that from me, only puter stuff, sorry.

Ok here goes, I am trying to turn home video into internet format from VHS, via my VCR. My VCR is an older one with the (yellow video/white audio), but no red audio line. However the adapter for my puter has all three(yellow, white and red.) I am able to get the video but no audio.

Puter stats re: Dell packing slip:

I want to capture both video and sound.
This is what I have puter wise:

pentium 4 processor @ 2.66 GHz
512MB DDR SDRAM @ 333MHz
keyboard..
monitor..
All-in-Wonder Radeon 9000 Pro TV tuner Graphics card
Dell movie studio Essentials studio X, dimension
120 GB Ultra ATA/100 Hard Drive (7200RPM)
floppy..
Windows XP professional service pack1
backup...
Intel Pro 100 M Intigrated PCI NIC Card
56K PCI Telephony Modem for Windows
48X Max Variable CD-ROM Drive
soundblaster live with5.1
Factory instlled Audio..
musicmatch basic
and other stuff that should, as far as I know not have anything to do with audio video.

Dell movie studio Essentials studio X, dimension, is "Roxio, Videowave Movie Creator"?

I can not believe I started college majoring in Computer science, only to find out that Angelo State Sucks in that department. So I switched to Art, I do very well at that, but need to learn puter stuff... sort of a drive in me.... wish I had more time and good teaching for it though!

So let me get this straight...
