Why each option
A video capture card accepts analog video input from devices like a VCR and converts it to a digital signal that can be recorded and encoded to formats suitable for burning to DVD.
A TV tuner card receives over-the-air or cable broadcast signals, not the direct analog output from a VCR playback device.
A video graphics card handles rendering and display output to a monitor and cannot accept or digitize incoming analog video signals.
A sound card handles audio input and output but cannot capture or digitize a video signal.
A video capture card has analog video input ports (such as composite or S-Video) that accept the signal from a VCR's output. The card then digitizes the analog video stream in real time, allowing software on the computer to record, edit, and encode the footage. Without a video capture card, the computer has no way to receive and digitize the analog signal from the VCR.
