Sorry for this newbie type question:

I would like to take audio on VHS tape and record it to my computer (no
video) I want to use one of the digital or optical inputs on my sound
card.

From what I understand the audio is in a digital format if your VCR is
stereo/hi-fi? If this is true, is the former possible?

If not, the analog output from a VCR ranks where in the spectrum of
quality? Better than a Cassette but less than a CD player?

Thanks
