Hi all
I know I know I should have done this years ago but I'm faced with a big geographical relocation and well over 200 VHS video tapes - all pretty full - to transfer to some PC video format. At present, my main concern is the hardware - does anyone know a good solution. I've done about 20 tapes using a Hauppaugge winTV card connected to an XP box. The problem is / was that the connection had to be coax - hence I had to tune the card to the VCR's frequency and (as I've often found) the tuning software's not great. There's [1] from either Maplin or Amazon but I notice some pretty damning reviews and it looks to be a 2 head machine. I'm thinking of getting a 4 head machine off ebay and then some sort of gadget to connect the two - hence I'd like a recommendation. I don't mind Ubuntu, Slackware of W7 - I have 3 pretty well specified machines (none with under 2Gb of RAM) but none have USB3. If anyone has found a solution that works well - please let me know. It seems, as VCRs are becoming harder to find, my time to do this massive job is running out! Cheers Rob [1] http://www.maplin.co.uk/refurbished-vcr-2-pc-usb-vhs-tape-to-pc-convertor-50 8227
