tactically_naive Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Remember VHS tapes? Ya know, the black plastic oblong things with a tape thingy coiled-up inside? Well, mi missus has an all-time favourite film which is on VHS and we've consigned our VCR to the cupboard now that we've got a DVR and I can't be arsed to set it up again just cos she wants to watch some puppy poo film. Therefore, she's set me a wee task to find a way to get said film onto a DVD and I wondered if anyone has ever done this before. Before you ask, the film isn't available on DVD (I struggled to find it on VHS tbh) so I don't have the luxury of going buying it. I'm well practiced in video conversion from any format to DVD once it's on my PC, I just need a method of capturing the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tactically_naive Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Is this a home movie TN? Ermmmmmmmmmmmmm............................. No, sadly nothing as "exotic" as that. It's some poxy British film called "Dancin Thru The Dark". Not very good tbh but she loves it for some reason. That's my story anyway...................

Thanks, but I'd already tried that anyway. I looked on the UK ebay and Amazon and there's lots more VHS tapes to but but no DVD. Don't think it was ever released on DVD in the UK but seems to have been in the US for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Becketts Anchor Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 You need a video card with VIVO (Video In, Video Out), or a separate add-on card. Or alternatively, something like this: DVD / VCR combo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
