I have a home theater setup with a new A/V receiver and a PC. Separate from that, I'm trying to use my old A/V receiver as a conversion hub, from vinyl/cassette/VHS, set up with my office desktop PC. Capturing audio from vinyl and audio cassette is no problem. I connect the receiver's MD/Tape or CD-R left/right outputs to the PC sound card's single input.
My problem is the PC has no video input (to record from the VCR). I can buy a video capture adapter module, RCA to USB, but that's dedicated to and directly connects to the VCR, bypassing the receiver. What I want is a single (left/right) audio connection and a single video connection, output from the receiver and input to the PC. HDMI I assume would be ideal. What's the best way to do this? I realize I need new computer hardware and software. A video capture card? Which receiver outputs would be best if no HDMI input? Hi fidelity audio from vinyl is still the most important. Thanks.
