How can we convert a recorded song in cassette (audio or video) into a digital file?

Connect from your tape-player's 'out' socket to the 'line-in' of the computer. For this connection, you'll need suitable wire with the right size of heads at either end. Use freeware, e.g. Goldware to record the track as it plays on the tape-deck, setting the source as "Line-In". The track will be saved on your computer as a .wav file which you can convert to mp3 or WMA with freeware, e.g. Cheetah Audio Converter. If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.

I guess the procedure would be the same for video files too. What would be the converter used?

I presume you have a DVD drive and you can play the VCD/DVD on the computer itself. So, no outside connection is required. All you'd need is the software to record from the video disc. Perhaps DIVX encoder is freeware, but I've not used it much. Check out SmartRipper also. I primarily use AoA DVD ripper, but it is not freeware. I've no idea how to copy from a video tape to the computer!  If you stop trying to make sense of it all, you'll be less confused. Reality is an illusion.
