 Hey guys, Shaber 1000 here. Today, I'm going to show you how to take one of these little cassettes, one of these little video tapes, or one of these mini DVDs from a camera, an old camera like this, and import it to your computer. Stay tuned. Ok guys, in order to be able to put your footage off of one of these tapes onto your PC so you can upload it to social media such as YouTube, you have to capture this. You know you can't, we all know you can't plug an old camera directly into your computer like you can in a new camera like the newer style that I'm using here with a memory card. You can't just, you know, there's no memory card in that, it is on either a tape or a little mini DVD disc. Now sometimes the mini DVD disc you can take out and put directly into your CD slot, your DVD slot on your PC and you may be able to import it that way. But for these tapes, there's no way you can do that, right? But how it is done is you have to get a capture card, alright? Like here's a capture card here, ok? What this does is you will plug this into your USB port on your PC, laptop, whatever, and then you have these. You've got your S video and you've got, for your RCA jacks, you know, you've got your left for your sound, your right for your sound, your audio and then you've got your video. And what you do is you plug your RCA jacks into these correspondingly. Now this is just a cheap one I have, I've got a better one, I used this one a few times, I got this for like 7 or 8 bucks, these things are cheap. But the software that comes with it's not that great. So what I did was, I mean they work, they work, you can use any software that will do a capture with this device here, I mean it will work. But I had bought one that's called Dazzle, alright? With Pinnacle Studio and there it is right there, let's get you zoomed in on that because I have it hooked up to the PC because I'm going to show you how to do that, see? I've got this, now this, I gave like $10 for this at a flea market, it was still in the package, it had never been open. You can get these online, you'll pay upwards around $40 to $60 for these online. So but it comes with a really good, this is a Dazzle but it comes with a really good editing software called Pinnacle Studio, alright? And you can also use it for regular videos and stuff, video editing. So I'm going to show you how we're going to hook this up, alright? If I can here, alright? First of all, we've got, see Monkey, I've got these, I have to go, I've got a bunch of these to go through, not actually go through but to import some on Monkey's account on our computer here and because her son when he was younger used to race in the BMX and he did very well, he's got all kinds of trophies, several trophies, he did very well. So she's got it all on these tapes here and she never had a way to play them or anything till I started buying these cameras and she asked me yesterday, hey do you have a camera that'll play these tapes? Well yes, we've got like four of them. So she thought that was cool and she said well then you can put it on the computer. I said yes. So she wants to make him a DVD of his BMX racing and stuff. So alright, I've got this plugged into one of my old cameras here, alright? Now this is where the battery goes and the reason why I took the battery out of this one is because I plugged it in to a power source because there's going to be, I didn't want to have to keep, because I've got several of these batteries. I didn't want to have to keep changing batteries because I've got a lot of these to import for her. So I just went ahead and plugged it in but on this one, it's got this little deal here that plugs in for your audio video out, okay? Now I'm going to set this right here. Now yours may differ, yours may have you know just like ports in it in the back of it that'll look like these ports or on the side of it or somewhere on the front of it that you plug directly into but this one has its own cord but either way, now as you've noticed, you probably noticed, as you probably noticed, now my camera only has two and this has three, it's got your left, your right for your audio and the video or the S video, now I'm not going to use the S video. This has only got two, it's got video and audio. Now if you do that, you're only going to have one channel, only one side, one speaker is going to work. So what I did was I bought this T connector or a Y, okay, it'll look like this, it's got a female and two males. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to plug the white into the left, the red into the right, now on the yellow end, you're going to want to take your white which is your audio and plug it into there, that way it splits it off and I will have left and right, it'll be somewhat kind of like stereo, not full stereo but at least you have left and right speakers both working, okay, you won't be able to like switch them to left and right but you'll have left and right and then here's your your video part which goes in to the yellow right there and we're hooked up, now we've got to capture our images from the camera which it has one of these in it, onto the PC and I'm going to show you how we do that, okay, so down here we've got we've got all different kinds like there's one, let me get my glasses on here, okay, there's Pinnacle Studio right here, I've already got it ready to go, this one is Cyberlink, I forget which one, PowerDirector, okay, but right now we're going to use this because it's very easy to use and okay, there's one of my old ones I've done, let's see get you backed up here, you can see that, right here is one of my old ones I've done, now up here and you want to make sure you have your camera on plugged in, make sure your dazzle, your capture device, whatever you may be using is plugged in and you're going to want to hit import, okay, let's turn these speakers on and you'll see this, now that, excuse me, is what you're looking at here on the screen of this and this is just going to work just like an just like an old VCR, okay, now what I usually do is right here you'll have like your S video or your video composite, we're going to do the composite, okay, because we're using the RCA cables, now right here where it says dazzle video capture, there's a little arrow, I'm going to hit that little arrow and down here it's 4.3 or 16.9, I'm going to hit 16.9 that way I can go full screen, there we go and it'll go full screen, now we can click out of that on your videos so it doesn't, you know, so you don't have the black bars on the side, okay, now I'm going to hit start capture, all right, now it's going to get ready to capture and then I'm going to hit play on the camera, now the camera I'm going to turn all the way down so we don't get feedback and there we are, what's doing that, these tapes are rolling, there we go, but both the speakers are working, we've got left and right and that's monkey, this was years ago and they had friends with sons that raced as well and a lot of the parents would raise her ex-husband which is her son's father, he used to raise so they all raced, but that's that's all you have to do and then when you're done when you get to the end of the tape or whatever, you hit stop capture, now I'll show you, let's just say I'm done with this, okay, I'm going to hit stop capture, go ahead and stop it here on the on the camera as well, all right, now that should be saved over here as you can see right there, can you see that, let's zoom in on that a little bit so you can see it captured it, all right, it's like that, okay now there's a couple more steps you got to do, before I step by step you'll be right now, this you can X out of this now, okay, and there you go, you have this up here and here it is this is your preview window and this is what you just captured, here's your timeline down here at the bottom, okay, so what you're going to want to do, let me back out a little bit more again, what you're going to want to do is you're just going to click on this, drag it down here to your timeline, drop it and there you go, now you can edit this right here with this with this editing software, this is a very good software, I like it, but right now for this she she don't know how to use this in editing, so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to go ahead and save that for her and while you know all of them I'm going to save for her and it will go into her folders and then she can edit it with Movie Maker, she likes it, it's really easy to use, okay, so what I'm going to do now is this right here, okay, that's that's our capture it is highlighted, now I'm going to go up here to export, all right, right up right there is export, all right, so you got import movie disk and export, so you're going to want to hit export, click on export and it's going to bring up some more another menu down here and you want to go it's a file, so you're going you know unless you want to put it to disk whatever you want to do cloud or put it to another device, right now I'm going to put it in a file so she can so she can use it, now you got options here, you got AVI, you got image, MPEG1, MPEG2 and Windows Media, okay, so you can look when you click on it in the presets, you know there's full screen DV, you know full screen MJPEG, you know just got all this Nintendo Wii, medium small custom, all right, so that's what you got for that and same way you know you've got image, you've got you know this video CD compatible but I'm just going to stay on AVI just like that and you also have advanced options here to where you know we've already set this and you know you can sound after after it's done exporting it'll give you an audible alarm or it'll just shut down your PC say okay you're done you want to go to sleep it'll shut your PC down automatically open in Windows Explorer and add exported file to library now I do have that one checked because I wanted to go to her library so she can so she can she added it in movie maker later so it'll apply all right so I'm gonna go ahead down here at the bottom you see that right there it says start export I'm gonna start the export okay now I'm going to name this you know bike races just for now that way she'll know it'll be in her videos okay it'll be under videos oh these these are my videos here but it'll be under videos under bike races and AVI now you can change this sometimes but since it's AVI it's just gonna stay there sometimes it'll give you other options down here depending on what you chose for the file type so that's AVI we're good and then we're going to hit save now there it is it popped up now you can go ahead and play it or you can open it and see what file it's in so but let's go ahead and play it and see how it did there it is in media player there it is see if you did if I didn't do this that wouldn't be on there so but it's an old tape so you kind of got that but you know kind of like down here at the bottom you can see but you know some of these you can adjust the tracking on and get that out of there but it's okay so there it is let's click out of that and it's done so that's how you do that you just if you follow that step by step you'll be able to take footage from one of these put it on here added it just like you would any other any other kind of video and put it on YouTube Vimeo or whatever you want whatever you want to put it on so there you go guys just thought I'd share that with you so I'm gonna get started on this this is gonna be a while I want to say thank you guys for watching my videos hope you enjoyed the abandoned place the abandoned places we've

that's how you transfer your your old tapes or DVDs to you know transform to your PC or laptop you have to have a capture card very inexpensive like I said you can get the cheap one of them but they come with cheap you know editing software and you know you're kind of limited software editing software that's like worse than movie maker but I love movie maker but I still use it the other editing softwares we have for important stuff like zoom-ins and stuff like that so alright guys again thanks for watching and shea bear the myth the man legend I'm going for now bye bye guys chat at you soon
