    knowing nothing about your pc or vcr its a hard question to answer but essentially you need some sort of capture device that will take the analogue signals and digitally sample them. google tv/video capture device

    as mdbarder has said, you will need a capture device, more than likely it will be usb.
    In my instanace I use a scart to svideo converter cable to then connect up my 'dazzle' (the bit of hardware).

    This is a link that I found on http://www.videohelp.com/ it relates to capturing video from VCR. It might appear a bit high tech at first.
    Like mdbarber and evilgoose said you will need a capture devices for video and audio.
    The audio capture device is just a sound card with an audio input. Some, but not all video cards, have video input.
