[WLC-1989]

Hey everyone,

I have an old Matsui (Dixon's own brand) VCR, which has RF and SCART output. I would like to use this to do two things:

One: Connect it to my Dell 2407 screen. The screen has composite, S-Video and RGB input. I therefore need to use a converter cable to connect the RF or SCART to one of these three. My question though, is which method of conversion (for instance, SCART to RGB, RF to S-Video) would provide the best quality picture, given that it will be viewed at its native resolution using the Picture-in-Picture mode of the 2407. Furthermore, what are my options in respect to receiving an audio output from one of these cables?

Two: My end goal here is to create digital copies of home videos and recordings from the 90s. I have tried to buy a video capture card, but it seems they are largely unsupported devices these days, with few models still being manufactured. The reviews I have found for the models available on eBay and elsewhere all seem negative, so could someone suggest a model which they have used successfully, and which has Vista x64 driver support?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
