I have a bunch of old Disney movies on VHS that I would like to convert to DVD. The information sounds good, but I am getting a little confused. Okay, so I’ve read lots of the comments and the article. This webpage/thread is one of the places I visted when I was doing my hardware/software research and I thought I’d share my experience here for those in the same place I was at just three weeks ago. Almost 20 years of memories, people and places…safe and now in a stable DVD format. I am thrilled they were labeled just as I asked. EXCELLENT!!! My order was exactly as quoted both in price and turnaround time. I received my shipment yesterday morning and I have gone through and watched several of the 93 DVDs created from my videos. I sent them a mixture of VHS, VHS-c and Hi8 tapes of both family and business events. Quality, price and turnaround time were important factors…but I really wanted reliability and good customer service. But before risking a lifetime of memories, I did considerable research on conversion vendors. In the end I decided to outsource the work.
I reasoned that when I was done, the hardware I had purchased would be as useful as the treadmill in my basement collecting dust. In addition to the cost is the time I’d need to spend to babysit the conversion. I spent quite a bit of time doing research on purchasing hardware and/or software to convert my video library to DVD. I’ve included some resourcesīelow that should head you in the right direction.
There are several higher powered editing packages available as well.Īs you can imagine, there are many variables. The nice thing about capturing to your computer is that theīurning software typically includes some rudimentary editing functionality, and Once it’s on the computer, a DVD burner and some burning software, and Another nice alternative is a VCR orĬamcorder that can output on a firewire connection, and then capture to a VCR’s video and audio as input, or a video tuner card that can tune to the TVĬhannel that the VCR broadcasts on. To capture on your computer, you’ll need either a video card that can take a Once connected, push record on the DVD recorder, play on the The simplest, but least flexible way is to simply get a DVD recorder. But what to do with all those old VHS recordings you might have ofĬopying them to a DVD or your computer and from there to a DVD, is not thatĭifficult, with the proper bits and pieces. VHS tapes are disappearing from the landscape as digital technology rapidly
