Sorry i've been searching but what video card or tv tuner card do i need to get to transfer vhs movies(not home video) to dvd.I saw in 1 thread some guy was praising Winfast TV2000..whats something reasonable to get.I was looking to purchase it locally if i could like at bestbuy or something...thanks in advance.
There is a product called V-Stream Xpert USB2.0 DVD Maker that will transfer VHS material to your PC and then burn it to DVD. I haven't tried it but it looks like it does what you need. SVP sell it for £24.99 here http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk/acatalog/misc.html. If you buy it and it doesn't do what you want, you can send it back to SVP within 30 days and get a refund. This is one of the reasons why I buy most of my stuff from SVP, also their technical support is very good. Hope this helps.
Thanks for your input i just found something called WinTV-PVR-150 from bestbuy..here's a link to it..let me know what you think...also this product gets rave reviews in the customer reviews... http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvr150.html http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Haup.../sem/rpsm/oid/99358/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do
The Hauppauge PVR series ignore macrovision (the copy protection on most commercial VHS tapes), which makes it a good choice. The PVR-150 also doubles as a TV tuner for your PC.
i wound up buying a dazzle dvc 150..are they any good?] http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=5870729&type=product&id=1064607747431
nevermind i couldnt even install the dazzle ..i tried & kept saying i had to have windows xp service pack 1...but i already have sp1 & sp2..so screw it i'll just order the other product.
Im thinking of buying 1 how is this one?- http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_usb.html what does anyone think of this?
No, it's too slow (USB 1.1) to capture full D1 (720x480/576) mpeg-2 video. Get this one: http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/pages/products/data_usb2.html Make sure your computer has full USB 2.0 support!!!
Thanks for your input. But you see my PC has a TV crad<-(i think...) And on the front there is 2 slots, A S-video slot and a Composite slot. Can these two be used to record TV or not? And if so what cables would i need? + just to tell you my VHS only has the 3 colour slotst, (red,white,yellow), And it has one scart plug at the back. What else would i need?
I would think those ports on the front are for video OUT, not capture. Only you can tell. Read the manual.
