Question

i have a video tape that i need to transfer to a computer. does anybody know how?

Answer 1

Hi Andrea,

You can do it with DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can’t remember what it cost.

You connect the composite output of your VHS into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

Answer 2

assuming you still have a decent VCR laying around there are several relatively cheap video-to-USB converters that come with software that will allow you to capture video and audio.  For a little more, a TV tuner card will do the same thing.
