I'm assuming you don't have a dvd recorder? What kind of computer do you have? details on the capture device? Does the VCR have two outputs that it can use simultaneously?

This should get you to record right to the computer i believe.

VCR can only output to one device at a time. You can't watch your game on the TV while recording on the PC.

Not DVD capture, video capture. DVD recorder is the drive that writes DVDs. Capture device is the piece of hardware you're using to accept the VCR output on the computer.
