[H] VCR to DVD

2009-10-17 Thread Al
Hi y'all, Just gained access to a hugh collection of VCR tapes, old rental store inventory. Great stuff from Cinderella to Debbie Does Dallas. Been reading online about copying to DVD, seems I need some hardware. Any recommendations? Anyone have something in the back of the closet to recycle?

From experience, you have two different methods: Either you go down to your local computer shop and get a capture card (hauppauge, not ATI), about $120 or you go down to your local Walmart and get a VHS to DVD recorder, also about $120, then rip the DVD after recording. Unfortunately VHS

A friend gave me a Tape-to-DVD machine a couple years ago. An older Go.Video model. (I think they closed down.) The Macrovision on the tapes pervents them from being copied. YMMV... (Good luck.) Since I had a Video camera since 1981, I had lots of other uses for it, grin... Rick Glazier

The Win-PVR 150 has an S-video/composite input, so you can input video for capture, however, from what I hear, it does have problems with some 3rd party capture applications (they graciously don't tell you which ones), since it records directly to mpeg. Steve swzaske wrote: Will a Hauppauge
