Alright, I don't even know if this is the correct forum to ask this question but I got it recommended from a friend, here goes. I have got vhs film that i would like to capture onto my PC and save it as an mpeg or avi file (whatever would be easier). I have a GeForce 3 Ti 500 Video Card with TV-out. What I need to know is all the cables I would need to use to connect my pc up to TV and Video, and also what software I would need to capture film. Cheers in advance if anyone can help.
well i dont know what plugs the gf3 ti 500 has but a video out is not a video in. you need a video-in port to get your vcr connected to your pc so you can record/capture your vhs-video.so check out if your pc has a video-in port.
Here's what you need: A video capture card. Pinnacle Systems Studio 7 AV/w capture card. Search for it at www.pricewatch.com. It will create the mpeg you want. It's an awsome program that's not very expensive. I guess I got off track here. You asked about cables. You need a cable with a RCA video & audio out (from your VCR) to audio in (1/8" connector) on your sound card.
Thanks alot for the help. Just need to save up for the video capture card now! No doubt i'll be back asking questions when I get he card. Cheers again
Hi everybody There's another way to capture from vhs you just need a PC-Tv Card, that will give you analogic inputs, and a software called "Capture Studio Professional", that is freeware and can be found just with a simple google search. This is the very less expensive solution.
