I think you need to have a video card in your pc, which gives you a video input on the back of your pc, you connect via a scart lead, straight into the input, and you should have some form of live recording software on your PC, so basically as its playing through your PC on the screen you record it, you can then use various softwares to convert it to an MPEG, AVI, MP4 or what ever format you prefer which gives you the best quality, and then i am sure someone on the forum will be able to tell you how to post it up for all to see, i think so anyway, i use to do this around five years back but forgot, think the program i used was wintv check link,
