No...no...oh, crap.
Well, guys. In this video, I'm going to show you how to convert
VHS (sigh) to DVD.
bye baby.
To do this project, you are going to need a VCR, a TV
or video capture card and a computer.
Some TV capture cards are USB.
If you have one of those, just plug it into your USB
port. Otherwise you will need to install it in your
computer. They are pretty cheap to come by. You can
find some for about $15-$20 online.
Once you have it installed on your computer,
just using a regular co-axial cable,
connect the VCR to the TV capture card.
Then once you have done that,
turn your computer on and use the software
that came with the video capture card
to play what is on the VCR.
Put your tape in and play it as you normally would.
Then start the record or capture process
using the software.
When you are through, just hit stop
and you can close out of the program.
Then the next thing you want to do is download a free
program called DVD Flick
Just do a Google search for that and
you will find that it is on DVD Flick.net
and then you can just download the program from
their main website. Then once you have
downloaded it, go ahead and install it
and let the program start up. Then you want to click
"Add Title" on the right hand side. Select
the video that you just captured
using your TV card.
You can add a menu if you would like.
If you do not want to add a menu and just have it
automatically play, go straight to project settings
and you can change the video to
PAL if you are not in the United States or
NSTC if you are. Then go down to the "Burning"
option and choose "Create
ISO image" and then put a name for it.
Then if you want to go ahead and burn it to a DVD,
just check that box and put a DVD in your drive.
Then click "Accept" and click "Create
DVD" at the top and it is going to start
creating the DVD for you.
If you do not have any video capture software,
if it didn't come with your TV card, you can download
some free programs. One of them is called "Media
Portal", if you do a Google search for that. The other one is
called "GB PVR". So you can
download either one of those if you don't have your
own video capture software.
Alright, well that is it for this tutorial. For more, go to Tinkernut.com.
