  You need a [video capture device](https://www.google.com/search?q=video%20capture%20device) or a [capture card](https://www.google.com/search?q=video%20capture%20card). It will encode the analog video and audio into digital codecs (like H264 for video and AAC for audio, or other codecs depending on your needs and price range).
