You need to buy a video capture card. http://www.vcdhelp.com is a good place to start getting information. I would also suggest if you find a card you think you might want to buy that you look to see if there are any forums dedicated to them or if there are reviews of the card. ATI cards of various types are probably the most popular. No capture card is perfect and they all have people who love them and hate them. I do want to warn you that if you buy one of the lesser known cards that it may be impossible to get help on it if you have problems simply because almost no one has it. That's why you need to see if there are any user forums for the card. Manufacturers of all capture cards are notorious for their lack of help, so if you have problems with whatever you buy, you WILL have to turn to the Internet for help.
