capture card use/how to

[fr3akgam3r]

Can a capture card be used and then connected to a PC?
Does it have to be connected to the TV/VCR and PC at the same time?

Without knowing specific brand and model numbers, the short answer is that the capture card has to be installed in the computer and connected to a video source at the same time. Software on the computer then saves the digitized video data from the card to a file on the computer's hard drive.
