I did do a search of the site before starting this thread and didn't find anything. I realize this is WAY off topic to ask here but you guys know everything so here goes.
We have about 15 or 20 old VHS-R camcorder cassette tapes of when my kids were little that I'd need to somehow transfer to my laptop then backup on a external hard drive. The camcorder has female red, yellow and white RCA jacks to use with a male RCA cable so you watch the tapes on a TV. I'm going to buy a male RCA to male USB cable to hook to the laptop but how do I capture or record the video on the laptop? Will Windows media player record the video or do I need some video recording/editing software? Has anyone ever done this? This is the cable I was going to order will it work? Thank you!
