    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.


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


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


  6. 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


  7. 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
  8. Those things also do realtime conversion, not faster. Only advantage is more control of compression and the ability to edit the stuff on your pc.

    Basic chaptering is all that would be required. I'll take a punt on it for a tenner.
