Computers & Internet - 11 October 2006

I'm shopping on the internet this year to save money; without paying a lot for shipping and handling. I was on overstock.com and found several items i wanted to purchase. The website said it was only 2.95 for shipping and handling after you've bought more than three items or have purchased books, dvds etc. mixed. Has anyone else shopped on overstock.com? I've shopped a few times on amazon.com, but the shipping and handling costs an arm and an leg. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have a tv tuner and I want to capture video from a vcr. I also have a mini 3.5MM stero male to rca male cable. I want to capture video using windvd creator. The only option I have if I want to record sound from the tv tuner (usb) device is the microphone. The tv tuner does not have a line out jack, I have to connect the sound directly from the vcr. I have a toshiba satellite. It does not have a line in jack. It only has a microphone and headphone jack.
