Using TV tuner card to transfer the video on the tape to a .mpg file (MPEG file).
go http://www.digital-digest.com/dvd/downloads/virtualdub.html to download VirtualDub. VirtualDub will convert a MPG file to an AVI file that wm8 can support. This is Unofficial Virtualdub Support Forums.
Several ways to make output avi smaller:
- Under menu “VIDEO”, choose updated compressed algorithm such as “Indeo 4.x/5.x”, or “MPEG4”
- Under menu “VIDEO”, check keyframe, and set a value like 10
- Under menu “VIDEO”, lower the quality value from
  100 to 50 or something
