Question

Can anyone tell me how to download onto You Tube from a VHS tape?

Answer 1

the best capture cards are Huappauge and All-In-Wonder.

Answer 2

It's "upload" to youtube. :)

stolen from another answer:

Get a video capture card that has audio/video input that your VCR can connect to.

With the video capture card, you can do a lot more stuff that just watch a TV/movie on your computer. You can convert VHS (using capture card) and convert to DVD or WMV using additional software.

And on the same site, it has many great guides about how to capture video, live TV, stream/broadcast, DV Cam, etc.

The quality of WMV should be as good as the quality of the original video. To get good quality, of course you need to get good capture card. Looks at the rating in that site to find a good one.

Remember, everytimes you do an extra conversion, the quality is going to get worse. More direct method should be better if you have the right tools and good hardware.

Basically, get the video onto your computer. You might need a new video card. You didn't say whether or not you had a Mac or a PC but hardware exists for both of them. You will need to digitize the video (Windows MovieMaker and iMovie will import) and upload it.
