Question from someone that know nothing about Video

Guys I have a question about transferring Video from my VCR to my CPU.. How do I do it?

I don't even know where to start.. I have two CPU's I have a sony VHS/DVD-R combo. Anyinfo would be great.. If you guys need more info please ask. I really want to get this video so I can link it to my Madden Site!!

 

*takes a deep breath* ....ok lets see

This post does not make any sense, however I'm going to re-phrase the question the way I *think* you was intending on asking it, here goes:

Question:

How does one transfer VHS material onto a computer? I'm new to this technology and would be greatful if you could make your answers designed for absolute beginners.

If that is what your question is asking then, there is a wealth of information available on the net, infact there IS vasts amounts of information and tutorials available right hear on these very forums.

You can seacrh these forums, to do this scroll up untill you find the seacrh bar, then select the "Forums" under the Quick Links and then hit Go.

Failing that, manually seacrh the threads, and look out for titles that have asked the same question or similar one.

The lack of response from other users, can be from many different reasons, one particlur reason is when a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) is asked.

It is very likely that other users will be "fed up" of answering the same questions over and over again, hence allways search before asking a question as it is most liklely been answered already.

Your question is a very broad question covering a large topic, its like asking "how do I fix a car?" well that depends on the problem, and every problem can be fixed by different methods (usually).

Search for things like "VHS to DVD" "analouge Video capture" or things like that.

I Hope you find what you are looking for.

If after seaching you do not find what you are looking for, then post back and be more detailed in your question to exactly what it is your trying to do, I will try my best to answer you.

Thanks

If we knew what capture card you have, what software you're using for capture, and how the VCR is hooked up, then we could give specific answers on getting the video onto the PC.
