minion or whomever has the ability to understand my problem, i want to transfer vhs to dvd, my thoughts are that i could buy a converter(for instance a px m402u)doanload to hard sic, use shrink to remove macrovision and copywrite if it has some, and then burn with nero to dvd, i have not been able to find a diffinitive guide, probably because i am a littl e sow as to understanding what im looking for. most of you guys have far more experience, but i hope i am learning, can you tell me where to get a guide with recommendations for hardware etc.? Thanks
here is what I use and it works just fine.I just have a 40 dollar capture card and a s-video cable and a mini y adapter and stream video in dvd mode up to 2 hours for a full 4.3 gig disc, split the sound to two channels using the y adapter and then burn with nero vison express under the create video option and create a menu along with chapters.so here is what I use.I have no drop frames whatsoever and I have back up out of print movies like backdraft and others.Can record HDTV mpeg1,2,4. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=333088&pfp=cat3 $40 http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kwCatId=&kw=y+adapter&pg=3 red white and black cord $7.99 and nero along with latest update of NVE.
I figured out how to do it myself through trial and error.Most store won't buy VHS tapes and VHS machines will be phased out this year.
