Viewing video from VCR on laptop

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

How can I view video from my VCR on my laptop in win XP. One of the earlier
Win MediaPlayers had an overlay function but the latest versions do not.
Please advise.

I DO have a video capture card. I am inquring about the SOFTWARE that would
allow me to warch the video from a VCR on my laptop. Is there a plug-in for
the Win Media Plyer? Please avise. Alex

If an earlier version allowed you to do this, have a search for media player
classic and see if that will, I have no idea if it will work, but it's worth
a try.
