    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
  2. 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.


  4. which I do. Haven't got terribly many TV's though. Might try it tonight
  5. some insanely cheap USB alternatives
  6. Cant you connect the VHS recorder directly on the DVD recorder? Should have a bit better quality.


  8. What I was thinking, i use a scart lead


  9. thats a fair point. Have no VHS recorder at the moment so i'll have to try it straight from the camcorder into the DVD recorder or TV


  12. just a tester. Cheap. The tapes themselves are 10-15 years old aswell so i'm not sure quality will be too hot to begin with. If it sucks i'll get the dvd recorder into action and do a 1:1 real time conversion
