How to convert old VHS tapes to DVD?

[HellBlazer056]

i love my vcr

[401xBros]

ive had one i just lost the disc with software on it . is there any website that has the download on it?

[morrismagic08]

Screw that, you be better off transfering you'r VHS to a new VHS! Discs only last as long until they start skipping or don't read at all. You'r stuff is then lost for-ever. If the tape inside a VHS cassette snaps you simply stick it back together and no finalizing! besides, VHS has atleast a twenty year life span if not longer! DVD doesn't necessarily give a better picture either, if you have a good quality VHS tape and a good quality VCR the picture can be better than that of a DVD! Try it.

[cheabattambang]

I have problems with the VHS to DVD software. I got everything down except for one problem. The DVD is not 100% burn. What does that mean? Now, I have the files in my computer but not on the DVD.

[debilt8]

@cheabattambang

Usually you must "finalize" your DVD recording. That way it will play on other devices as well.

[Ricky6854]

Thank you thank you thank you for uploading this video! Now i'm not worrying about my VCR if it gets damaged! Lol!

[Gamescook]

Even teenagers know what a VCR is, criminy.

[luirot9]

How long does this process on average or usually take? Depends on equipment? Also duration of the tape? 2 hr tapes and up to 6hr recordings. I would appreciate any input or informational responses. Thanks

[Cahoula]

I could only get through 23 seconds of this.

[wonbadood]

@Cahoula I made it to 2 mins. Goodnight

[XboxBasherAvailable]

I'm fourteen, i know what a fucking VHS is, don't talk down to me.

[Morahman7vnNo2]

Ha, I'm still satisfied with Magnetic tape.

[Filmaker25]

If you have an older camera VHS camera is it possible to get a computer connection to go from your camera to the computer??

[TaleSpinTV1990]

I hope I can buy a Roxio DVD Converter since I plan to convert Disney's original 90's films in their unremastered footage on DVD

[67tr876]

VHS is not that old LOL GOD !

[TheShotzie]

o'h come on now chill out, he didn't mean any harm. Just pay attention and learn or go to another site!

[epyemelianenko]

[MrAutlwetse]

Hey thats a cool stuff!! Can I add or edit subtitles to a movie from German to English using that converter? Please you help will be appreciated!! Thanks in advance

[ChrisPBacon2010]

[rocknrolldaddio]

Wow,kids have you ever saw one of those big black round things we "old timers" used to listen to music on? It was call "an album".

[ajaugenti]

Wow! That is so cool!!!!!! Lesmis and Riverdance all in one!!!!! Great job on your video, maybe I'll get something like that software someday!

Cheers!!!! Anita Jean Augenti

[datoobster75]

1:36 I see he's holding up one of my all-time favourite rock albums of all time - Willy & The Poor Boys by Creedence Clearwater Revival!

[parkourafterschool]

you dont need to buy all this fancy shit. i got myself a dazzle dvd recorder and ive been turning all my families mini-vhs's into dvd's using windows movie maker and dvd flick.

[misswillingtolearn]

I loved this video ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! Could you also teach me how to transfer files from an external hard drive to a computer ? I bought an external HD and saved some movies to it and I would love to be able to transfer them back to my PC so that I can burn them to dvd , using ConvertXtodvd , but I just don´t know how to do it . Could you help me ? Thank you so much !

[ujayet]

This is not simple! the simplest way is to get a dvd recorder and vhs, play one record one! simple! without touching a computer!!

[tmtp76]

he isn't old cunt lips.

[kurtzy04]

I got one of these usb to dvd converter things. Handy to have

[redruner100]

we know what a vcr and a vhs is....

[stolmich]

I connected my VHS-DVD-combo to a HDD-DVD Recorder and the dubbing works fine, the only disadvantage is, that you have to watch the whole movie while copying. This takes about 1:30 hours. If commercials interrupt the movie, you can generate chapters and cut out the commercials simoultaneously.

[stpworld]

Vhs is also not obsolete quite yet i still use it alot and i know alot of other people that still do. I have over 300 tapes and im not getting rid of them anytime soon. I also have DVHS which is great. Tapes do not deteriate as fast as people say i have ones from 1982 and there still fine.

[gaminggeek9]

i am not a spastic



[Jediiii]

When are they going to make one for "Betamax to DVD"?? back in the days of tape I made many family videos to Betamax what about those memories???

[Morahman7vnNo2]

@Jediiii Plug in the AV outlet for a Betamax player instead of VHS player.

[jimjr155]

when you make an instructional video, you have to make everything clear for ALL people...

[magtownrep]

This is really helpful as I had no idea what a VHS was.

[wilkes85]

one star, I don't need some asshole talking down to me.

[yes350yes]

I need some help , just had a nightmare with an easycap rig. wont try those again. What I want to do is transfer from vhs and dvr to my pc and maybe dvd.

[stpworld]

you can get a mini dv camera with av input and do it that way thats what i do. @yes350yes

[SueK319]

@stpworld

can you explain that further. I have an av input mini dv camera. I have the cables to connect the vcr to the camcorder, then what?

[legoman6986]

man, everywhere you look you always have to buy shit just to preserve your memories!

[pr53188]

can you copy vhs tapes that are copy protected?

[Morahman7vnNo2]

@wilkes85 VHS tapes CAN be copy protected, just like Compact Cassette tapes can be. By pulling out the tab that's next to the long rectangular label.

And if that alone causes you to lose faith, then maybe you shouldn't live among men.

[StabbyMcButterPants]

Most of these devices are crap. You MUST have a Time Base Corrector, (TBC) inbetween your VHS and digital recorder when converting analog to digital, otherwise the video signal will always look dull in color and luminance, fuzzy, color shifted and misaligned. If you can afford it, buy a Canopus ADVC-300. It has built in TBC and can also handle DV as well. It's also bi-directional, meaning you can output from a computer to analog or digital or record onto a computer. :)

[der363]

this guy pisses me off. "to you young people out there this is a VHS. It has video on it. and you need a VCR to play it." I FUCKING KNOW WHAT A VHS IS!

[TheDTVision]

@der363 Me too. Half of my videos are still on VHS tapes. There is many people that still doesn't know what is a DVD. But only babies and 5 year old kids on't know what is VHS or VCR!

[ubuntuman95]

You young people? I'm 14 i remember vhs tapes lol i remember when cds were made

[miecionoz]

@ubuntuman95 first CD's were developed in 82 in Japan

[TooMuchGass]

digitalizing VHS tapes can be a nightmare beyond beliefs.

[sandydogy]

crazy thing is if you watch vhs on an old tv its looks decent, its when you watch VHS on a new tv it looks awful! I think that is because the old tvs are matched to the VCRS also if you have a decent record player an a decent amp tha quality is wicked

[lubomirshengie]

too bad it wont FUCKING INSTALL

[truefaith00]

So Blu-Ray and SACD fuck the world?

[Namtrosh1101]

0:22 - 0:33 <---- we're not retarded...

[oscarsanders07]

[lee101ct]

Thank you, hope to hear from you soon!=)

[rrmbye]

[Jrsygirrl]

[6458522]

[mjufpn]

rodger that

[kjhvhgd]

roxio fuckin sucks ConvertXtoDVD 3 is better

[CKS5000]

@kjhvhgd im not sold, how is it better, have you owned both?

[jcharvey3]

I tried using Roxio but it started to play really jerky on the computer when it was still playing fine on my camcorder. I was told it was because the video was not being transferred through the Roxio Capture Card fast enough!

[KarlPilkingt0n]

The guy made me feel as if I was sitting in a wheelchair drooling. "This is a VHS tape"

[ANewDay2007]

LOL!! Me too!

[umulius71]

@KarlPilkingt0n Hehehehehe..so right. :)

[colsnake331]

This post was make for me. I still have a slew of Beta-Max tapes and a huge collection of VHS tapes that have never been been produced in the DVD format.

After checking Amazon and the web movie sites, it seems that this will be the only way to go for the stuff I own.

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Blu-Ray all the way.

[skrattu]

all the way up ur ass

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Yours.

[truefaith00]

@WindowsAndMacintosh

I'm guessing you like SACD too right?

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

@truefaith00

Yeah. lol

[kirkconway]

I want to convert VHS movies to DVD,

but i dont think i can do this,

I think theres a copyright block on most movie VHS tapes,

i was hoping there wasnt,

but I think there is, even for home , or private use,

[sunnypatel66]

Home movies that you have shot should not contain any copy protection-(Macrovision) unless the video had been edited by some professional company and they have put this on.

There are ways to remove this protection, do a google search on Macroviosion removal.

Good Luck

[smoothie372]

what's the hardware wire connection called

[Jose19136]

this guy is explaining the vhs as if we are stupid

[adamrocks2006]

LOL

[ryandandrea]

vhs are really old. Dvds are the best though!

[catrod24]

he's cute.

[wyattspop]

Hey Boss,

This guy is helping you with his valuable time, he was just using some levity (sorry, I'll use simpler words since you have no understanding of irony or humor) to make it amusing, he wasn't dissing you personally you self-absorbed little twit! If you don't like it, shut up and change the channel.

[djdaniel5]

UMMM help pleaseee i have bought the roxio easy VHS to DVD and it seemed to work fine i installed the program and the drivers when i run the program untill i try to capture i captures the first 12 secconds but then after that it says that there was an error occured while burning or no signal ive cheked the cables and they are all in the correct placeto disk im getting really upset at this software please help me or replyy

[squidskunk]

this product is unreliable...

the drivers do not work on vist home prem.sevice pack 2...roxio web site said its vista falt...or...the computer...the drivers do not instal properly and are not recgonized by there own product...its a shit product...from a shit company...!....no suport from roxio...at all...avoid at all costs...

[Boss31397]

"and for you young pple, this is called a... VHS tape. And it contains video, and to play it u need one of these slick devices know as a VCR" ... were not retarded, just have better tech than you. douch-fag

[DearNadia]

actually all ages have better tech. no need to hate on older people...you are headed in that direction

[Boss31397]

nooo, im talking about this guy specifically, not all "older pple" (i wasnt any way stereotyping all older people) and yes every year tech gets better, but this guy rly doesnt have to use a "jerk" tone when he talks about outdated equipment

[DearNadia]

I see what you mean. he did sound a bit sarcastic.

[Boss31397]

thank you nadia... your wonderful. lol

[orbits2]

roxio vhs to dvd wont load.

getting the interupt.

thier web site sugests update to sp3.

did that.

still no go.

--------------------

wxp sp3

[squidskunk]

same on vista sp2

[svr73]

what you reckon no one uses VHS or beta anymore.

VHS and beta tapes do not deteriorate unless they are played all the time and not stored in a tape

I still use my piles of VHS and beta machines daily and have 30 year old tapes that play as good as back then

though I do say that DVD and blu ray are superb

[tonsterdamus]

can i actually make a file on my pc from vhs with this program

[brockpierce1984]

Thats the same question i have. I would be interested too, in that feature.

[videoholic50sthru70s]

I've got this same program, and have attached a video I just did, which shows how to import video into your computer and convert to a video file! This program is GREAT!!

[lMissC3]

how come when i burn hi8 video cassettes there are no sounds but there's a picture what should i do? i have an old camcorder with s-video output only.

[smpraxedes1]

Does this program eat up memory on your Computer?

[clarebannerman]

You can convert video tapes to digital & save on your PC through a gadget called EZ Grabber. (Cheap little device for around $25) Upload results depend on the quality of the video tape. Look @ results on my channel from Feb '09. ♣

[andym551]

this might be slighy off topic but

i need some help

my dad got a old sony camcorder and i want to get the videos from there to my pc. it recordes on HI8 tapes. the camcorder has no usb and no firewire cables/ sockets.

it only has a lead which you connect to the tv.

do you think somthing like " Dazzler usb or Easycap" would work fine ?

thanks

Andy.

[DarkKleenex]

any capture card with rca inputs will work

[astaynax]

Hi Andym you can transfer the film from Hi-8 to your hard-drive via RCA connectors.

[lMissC3]

what if my camcorder has only s-video output? it doesn't have the 3 color connectors (yellow,red,white) also when i use the roxio vhs to dvd it works fine but there is no sound when i play the dvd disc? pls. help

[Whyrendog]

Honestech VHS to DVD comes with S Video, I have been using it a lot and it works great. The Deluxe version can burn Blu Ray also. My wife got it free for a review, but I think it's great. I've bought expensive video cards that can't do what it can do. It creates mpeg which you can make DVDs or what I did was convert them to DivX and MP4 to upload to websites and archive.

[Whyrendog]

Another nice thing is you just plug it in and you see the display immediately and hit the record button. Much bigger display, better device, and easy to use. Around $50 unless you want Blu Ray features.

[slinkyska8]

Where do you buy this hardware and software

[maskedman100]

is this free program ?
