So my Pc is now rebuilt to at least 2007 standards. I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 64bit.

Now I got some stuff on VHS that I would like to transfer to my pc for safe keeping/dvd copy kind of deal.

 My question is on how to take the signal out of the LX5500/VX7000 combination to the pc? The LX has a S video but the VX does not.

What do I use?

What if you connected something like this to the Scart connection on the VX7000. Then ran an S video lead to your PC?

Hi,

next to connecting your vcr to your pc,

you will need some kind of capture device (or does Vista have built in ?)

I use a Dazzle DVC3 (digital video creator) , which has Video. S-Video, audio-sockets 

The software lets you choose in which format&quality you want to digitalise your source,

and after capturing, you can edit/convert/burn.

Dazzle

I am actually looking at the Dazzle stuff at the moment. It looks like the right thing I need.

 I do have cables the convert the scart to single leads.

 Vista does need some software for basic video stuff I think.

 I haven't really opend movie maker yet but will do.

If you need a 30M S-video lead I have one gathering dust you can have.
