Hi and welcome to the forums

Can you describe how you are capturing? Exactly what devices are you using (make and model numbers)? What is the source, how are components connected to your computer, things like that...

And if you update your system specs, that will help us to determine a workflow that could work for you...

Regards,
George

Is there an audio cable running from your VCR to your computer's sound card?

What are your computer specs? What type of graphics card do you have -- it must have some sort of video-in connection?

Regards,
George

To add a little to George's reply, if you are using S-video connections, that will only ever capture video. It has to be supplemented by an audio connection (e.g. the red/white or black and white audio RCA cables that are normally on the same cord as a yellow video RCA cable).
