 If this was in Linux, what software did you use?

 Thank you.

Part of this issue is going to revolve around the hardware. In order to
capture from VHS you need to have a video-audio input - either in a
graphics adaptor or a multimedia card. This can be done in Windows,
Linux or on a Mac - but it's hardware specific.

Some high-end multimedia adaptors have all of this functionality built
into them - some TV cards (BT848 chipset) also have the ability to do
this.

I used a BT878 card to transpose VHS of equestrian events into AVI -
then after getting and editing what I wanted, transposed the resultant
avi into an svcd.

So, to answer the question simply, yes, this can be done in linux - BUT
it's hardware that's required - if you don't already have it.

You can use Cinelerra - for capture and for editing and for saving to
disk in AVI format. Then rip it with any of the numerous VCD converters.

The cord jumped over and hit the power switch.
