How can I put a VHS on my Computer?

Does anyone know how to put VHS on to a computer and back again?

• I am doing an art project, and I filmed a three minute video on VHS, for the distortion and texture. Now I want to put it on my computer to edit it a bit and loop it, then put it back on the VHS for further distortion, and cause I want that aesthetic. Does anyone know how to do this?? Much appreciated! Thanks :)

• Answer:

  You need something like http://www.amazon.com/EasyCAP-DC60-Creator-Capture-High-quality/dp/B002H3BSCM or the dazzle which is more expensive but comes with software. ANALOG *If you have an analog (VHS) camcorder or VHS-c... You need an analog converter, either internal card or external such as the dazzle. It's very easy to use and come with good software. You would hook your analog VHS camera or VCR to the analog converter, the dazzle and then hook the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle cost around 85.00 , but worth the money if you have a lot of VHS to tapes to convert. You can also purchase a http://www.amazon.com/EasyCAP-DC60-Creator-Capture-High-quality/dp/B002H3BSCM which is way cheaper but does not come with editing software. Fine if you already have editing software. Anytime you convert analog to digital, you will lose quality, but loss of quality is better than losing all those old memories. **Please Note There is no 8mm or Hi 8 to VHS Adapter that currently exists. This type of VHS Adapter only exists with VHS-C tape They also make VHS to DVD recorders and they work fine for home movies that you don't want to edit. They do not work on copyrighted DVD's.
