I want to put some film footage from a VHS tape onto my website. I have a combination DVD/VCR player/recorder which can convert my VHS tapes onto DVD but when I try to play the DVD on my laptop nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong or should I try another method? I've heard about products like Moviebox deluxe which connects from the VCR to the PC but if possible I'd like to use the gear I've already got.

You can start with pinnacle Video capture card, DCM video capture card. I was using this for long time
