Seriously though, read the forums and you'll find the best solutions. I am not an expert on this because I use a direct digital connection to my computer via firewire. It's been a long while since I've converted from analog to digital. But many of the folks on www.anandtech.com forums will know this stuff, there are also probably some A/V forums out there that can help, I'm sure. Those guys will live, breath, and eat that stuff and get the best answers to you.
Tiger Direct can be a pain to deal with too. They have bad customer review ratings. I try to steer people away from them when I can.

You could get a TV tuner card like me and it has an input for a composit video. I keep my VCR plugged into the composit input, my PlayStation-2 in the S-video in, and have TV too. This is all in a window on my desktop using my monitor. You just click an icon at the bottom of the window to select your video input source.
If you were playing a buggy tape in the VCR and that was your composit in signal, you can click record with the software that comes with it to record whatever is playing in the window, to hard disk. I have never checked what format it saves the movie in.
I know not too many people consider a PCI TV tuner card as a way to get video to computer disk, but it works and you get a great quality TV picture on a computer monitor, compaited to most TV screens.
