Dick Splash Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm sure some of you have done or thought about converting things you've saved on VHS tape. Anyway, there seems to be a few ways of approaching it and wondered what the best way of doing it is. DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I have tried and failed. I got a dongle thing that plugged into the VCR and then into the usb of a PC. If you haven't already googled, try "dazzle vhs". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly2442 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I guess you could get a TV tuner capture card and pipe the video and audio into that from a VCR. Seems like a lot though... Perhaps these USB options are better. Or you could pay and have someone do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Splash Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Or you could pay and have someone do it.I thought of that, but I've got a small crate of 180's that belonged to my folks and I just wanted to sift through them at my pace and copy anything that you don't see on YouTube, like a quirky advert or documentary. I'd then upload them on YouTube. DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFella Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 I took the quick way when I converted my old wedding video from VHS to DVD. Just plugged a video player into the dvd recorder with internal harddrive I have hooked up to the main TV in the house. Was easy as anything to get a working DVD with that setup and if I want it into the computer at some stage all I have to do is rip the DVD.
