I want to copy by VHS tpaes of family home movies from my VCR before it fails and I don't know where to start or what information is relevant

Anyway ...

I'm in the UK so my tv system is PAL

My VCR has SCART socket and I have a collection of cables including adapaters for DIN type connection

My PC is a Packard Bell IXTREME X2711 PB81X06201 with
Intel core 2 quad processor Q6600
2 GB of memory
nVidia GeForce 8500 GT (display adapter)
conectors are
DVI? Coax type
DVI? Multipin
VGA – monitor
S-Video
tv tuner anlogue/digital – listed as AUSTeK Tiger 2 Capture device by device manager
data sheets says analogue video is sampled by ADCs, decode by multi-line and active comb filters
conector audio/video input for spider cable
audio L/R RCA input
S-Video mini-DIN
compostite RCAvideo input
internal tv audio output
Realtek High Def. audio

Operating system is Vista Home Premium, Windows Movie Maker installed

What to do first?
Can I use the s-Video connector on the AUSTeK card for analogue input from the SCART connector on the VCR?

All help appreciated
