If you're planning to edit your video in Premiere Elements, I'd very much recommend AGAINST capturing your VHS through a TV card, K2. They almost always digitize to a troublesome codec that gives Premiere Elements all kinds of heartburn (and often corrupted projects).
My advice: Invest in a Canopus AVDC unit, which captures any video format as DV-AVI, the ideal format for editing in Premiere Elements. (If you can find an ADS Pyro AV Link, they also produce great editable video, although the product itself has been discontinued.)
It will mean an initial investment of about $150. But, believe me, the stress it will save you not having to struggle with those TV card files will make it well worth the money!
