I'm a little mixed up with some converters that I am not sure would work with W7 64-bit OS.

I know that there's no chance of improvising the VHS "quality" to HD, that's not possible (upscaling, perhaps, but would not show any higher definition, that's for sure).

In short, I just want to buy a VHS-DVD usb convertor that would run nicely under W7 64-bit, and would convert VHS tapes to DVD (via the PC) in an acceptable quality where possible.

Any suggestions as to recommendations of any particular make/model? Would like to hear your views, especially if you have used it before?

Many thanks. :)
 
You should be able to use a video card with 'video in' I imagine it will capture the video in an uncompressed format, so you will be looking around 5 minutes of video to every 1gb of storage.

Once in the PC you can then edit the files in many different programs. It is drive space on your PC you will need for the initial transfer
 
Pretty much what ARD says... otherwise you could buy a DVD-Writer/VHS Combo player (the kind the you connect to your TV) as many of these can write a VHS tape to a DVD.
 
Either will do, just that I want to know which device *WILL* work with Windows 7 64-bit OS.

Some VHS-DVD USB converter devices have been known to have problems and requires drivers which may not be compatible with W7 64-bit.

This is why I ask anyone out there who has tried the device (whatever make/model) and *works* with W7 64-bit.

Ta!
 
Did you ever buy anything for your conversion, I'm just looking to convert some old tapes myself so would be very interested in how you got on.
 
I just bought the Ezcap 116 USB capture device, it certainly works on my Win7 64 laptop. Cost about 20 quid new.
