cable to copy VCR to DVD
I'm including a link. The product comes with a Windows only program (ULEAD VIDEO STUDIO). Does anyone know if or how it could be used in Linux? The connections are from the RCA output of the VCR (or any other source) to USB on the computer. http://www.ynet- shops.co.il/shop/Template/ProductRedirect.aspx?came=670ProductId=93928utm_medium=knyotvenofeshutm_source=knyotvenofeshutm_content=newmi -- Shlomo Solomon http://the-solomons.net Sent by KMail 1.13.3 (KDE 4.4.3) on LINUX Mandriva 2010.1 ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

I have already seen fire sale prices on LCD TVs with analog tuners, Feb 3, when they have all stopped working, people will be getting rid of devices without digital tuners. I'm sure at that point there will be many PC cards sold cheaply, given or thrown away. Most of them are supported in Linux. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Re: cable to copy VCR to DVD
Interesting, but I'm not sure that's really true. Personally, I'm connected to YES and use an ancient analogue TV card connected to the RCA output on the MEMIR (works fine in Linux and Windows). So by the same logic, I'd expect old TVs to continue to work. In any case, maybe you have indirectly suggested a solution to my VCR to DVD question. I suppose I could connect the VCR to the TV card. Any suggestions on what to use to record the output? I've never had much luck recording with xawtv and I usually use tvtime which has no recording function (for viewing only).

People with HOT or YES will not be affected. I've also corresponded with several people who have dropped HOT or YES because they thought they could be happy with the 5 channels included in the digital package. You would be surprised how many people thought that they could spend 300-400 NIS for a decoder, and cut out the expense of HOT or YES without actualy paying attention to what they watch and which channel it is on. :-( In any case, maybe you have indirectly suggested a solution to my VCR to DVD question. I suppose I could connect the VCR to the TV card. Any suggestions on what to use to record the output? I've never had much luck recording with xawtv and I usually use tvtime which has no recording function (for viewing only). VLC or mencoder both work well. A long time ago I set up PERL programs to do various recording functions from the command line. I was going to use cron to do recordings, but found that I could not find the program guides I wanted in English. We ended up getting a YES MAX. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
