Any hardware based capture card (hauppaggue) and many of the entry level PCI/PCIx or USB2 capture devices can receive video/audio from a VHS. One problem that pops up sometimes is if the video has any little glitches in it, the software interface can mis interpret this as macrovision protection and will halt the capture.
You will usually get a little degrading of signal and sometimes colors may be slightly off. My preference is to use a DV based capture solution if possible and capture the full raw stream, then de-interlace it with TMPEnc and run any filters if necessary. Then chop it down and encode it to DVD format. The extra steps can often give your finished video slightly better quality than the original (since you can filter out and blend artifacts, etc) lopaka --- On Tue, 2/3/09, Thane Sherrington <tsh...@computerconnectionltd.com> wrote: From: Thane Sherrington <tsh...@computerconnectionltd.com> Subject: [H] Copying VHS tapes to DVD To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Date: Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 11:24 AM Does anyone have any suggestions on hardware/software for copying VHS tapes over to DVD? I've got some family film that for some ungodly reason I wish to keep for posterity. :) T
