Hi. i taped a tv show few weeks ago for my school work. I'm trying to work out how to connect a video cassate player to the computer so i can record it on the computer and put it in a power point but i dunno how. plz help. Thx.
thats not straight forward actually. you need something to convert the analgue to stream to a digital stream. You can get something from PC world or Argos and then use Nero or some other programme to manage the capture process
In other words your computer should have a tv tunner or a capture card.Using those you can connect to the pc a vcr,tv,camcorder,etcaetera.
I have done this several times for friends and family with old VHS Tapes. You will need a Card to capture the output of the VCR, you will need a program to capture the output( programs such as Nero and Roxio can do this, VirtualDub is free and can do this also), and a program to shrink the output. A burner to put the files on a DVD. I know this was really vague and general but if you are serious about doing this I am 100% willing to help you through it. So if you really want to do this post back with what type of cards you have installed in your pc and any software you have for burning video. If you do decide to do this I will get a whole lot more detailed with my replys.
Thx so much everyone. Instead i let the school do it. ^_^. however your answers really did teach me something about this. so thx anyways.
I just bought a Gadmei capture card but don't know how to connect it to my vcr??? HELP ME PLEASE!! The instructions that came with the thing are a piece of crap that dosen't tell you how to use the thing. thanks
I am assuming it is a PCI/AGP/PCI-X card? If so it should have a cable that plugs into it with audio and video in ports on it. The VCR hooks up to these just like it would the TV. Then you use a program like VirtualDub to capture the output. I can go more in depth if need be but im beat and im gonna hit the hay.
