VHS Onto Computer?

  • I Have some old videos on VHS Tapes and i want to load them into my computer. Is there anyway to hook up a VHS player to the computer and then import the video into the computer? Please tell me if this is possible, what i need to buy, and what my computer needs to do this Thanks!

  • Answer:

    Yes its possible. You need to buy a DVD recorder so buy that. After you have that play your VHS in the VCR while simultaneous recording it on the DVD recorder then upload the DVD onto your computer

There are quite a number of ways you can do it . You could use an analogue capture card in your PC and connect the yellow/red/white RCA connections from your camcorder to it and capture direct as mpeg. You could use an analogue to USB converter like this :- http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/ad02a.html and connect it to your PC via USB although I have to say I have never found one of those that works very well. You could use a digitiser - see here :- http://www.simplydv.co.uk/Reviews/av_digitisers.html and convert the output from the camcorder to digital and connect to your PC via firewire. Or if you have a digital camcorder as well quite a few of them (Check the spec) can be used as a digitiser by connecting the VHS to the camera AV input and the firewire output to your PC Which ever option you choose you will also need some sensible capture and editing software on your computer - I would suggest you go and have a look at :- http://www.ulead.com/runme.htm **
