Sure it is. It depends on how you connect your VHS to your computer.

1) Using a normal antenna cable: You just need to tune your VCR like any other 
channel
2) Attached to Composite input: You need to manually add a channel ("New" 
button in channel editor and just select "Composite" or similar is input.

will not in the near future...
