  2. attempting a screenshot. imageshack wont upload it. . .

    ''I/O ERROR''
  3. Never seen that myself Dont know what to do with that error


  4. try a different program. . . . Burnt 2 Discs fine then 3 straight fails


  5. Strange error though, hopefully you will find a program that works good with your system There is a program thats called InfraRecorder or something like that. Also freeware if i remember correctly. Also Nero has a freeware version.

    InfraRecorder burned it.

    On another topic how easy (or hard) is it to get VHS onto DVD?
  7. You will need a capture/TV card, then its basically pushing the record button on your pc while you let the VHS play.

    Quality depends on capture card, connection type and compression settings.

    hmmm. Recommend any? The mother has loads of old tapes that need preserved. She's found somebody willing to do it for £10 per tape. Theres over 20 tapes. . . Can these cards work with laptops?

    They do exist, I dont know which ones are good though. Hauppage and Pinnacle seem popular. I'm sure there quality comparisons online somewhere. Laptop versions are more expensive though.

    Check what kind of output your videorecorder has, S-VIDEO might be your best option. Otherwise use the yellow video output (Composite) or the antenna output. Most capture cards can handle these inputs.

    i'll look around for possible external options. Still planning a desktop but theres too many other things on plan. I could just hook the camcorder up to a channel on the TV and record that channel from the dvd recorder. Means a 1:1 burn time and no editing etc but wouldn't cost a tenner a pop
  11. I just connect my VHS up to my DVD recorder, very easy if you have a DVD recorder
    EDIT: great minds . . .

    I would go with that. On the PC its also 1:1 time because it works exactly like a video recorder. You can always rip the DVDs again.
