VHS to PC

Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

After hearing of Jeremy Beadles death I remembered I have a video which me and my mates sent in to you've been framed in 1990 when we were all 12.

It's on VHS, is there anyway I can transfer this to my pc ? I fancy sending it to my mates who were on the video who are now on Facebook.

Cheers

Well I know one way, its expensive though and nothing to do with your Computer

Have a DVD RW and a VHS player, hook em up and recored from the vhs player

Only way possible is to looking into buy a pc tv card which is as simple as putting in a new pci device, then hooking up the vhs to the ariel port in the back. It will come with recording software, you can get one for about 30notes.

You can get USB jobbies that you just plug the VHS into and into the PC...I'm sure you could anyway.

I use a TV card for this but dont link anything to the Arial socket on the back , unless the video is so old it hasn't a scart socket . The TV card will have a composite [phono] socket .You use this , you can buy a adapter that plugs into the scart socket on the video and allows phono cable [normally ,red ,white [audio] yellow [video]]. I recently bought a combined socket and cables [scart with 3 phono wires ] at Poundland for , yes ,you guessed ..........£1 .You can buy another adapter that plugs on the end of the 2 Audio phonos [Y connector] , this plugs into the sound card to capture the audio .This is how I capture some of my old videos ,many over 20 years old and some on V2000. I use Pinnacle 9 for capture.
