Well, the issue is that while the DVR can output video, the laptop has no video *inputs* because why would it. On a desktop PC you'd be adding a video capture card with HDMI and/or S Video inputs. On a laptop you are looking at a USB connected adapter with those connections. I have used a similar device to get video off those old compact VHS camcorder tapes. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm
