How can I download VHS tape to my computer

Question

I want to download my vhs tapes to my pc, edit them and then burn to DVD.

Answer 1

You may use the best software I have seen AVS Video Tools. It can convert to/from all key format, upload video or DVD directly to key portables like iPod, Sony PSP, Archos, Zen Creative, and mobiles.

It can capture video from DV or webcams, TV tuners, DVB-T, DVB-S, transfer VHS tapes to DVD, remove commercials, edit video, copy and burn DVDs and video files: AVI (DivX, XviD, etc.), MP4, WMV, 3GP, 3G2, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, DVD, VOB, VRO, MPEG 1,2,4, MPG, DAT, VCD, SVCD, ASF, H.263, H.264, RM, DVR-MS.

There is the free download link:

Answer 2

I think that a digital capture card might do the trick. I use a Dazzle. It comes bundled with a software called Pinnicle studios that automatically copies the recording to your computer. Hook it up to your VCR and press play on the VCR and capture on the computer and it should capture the video.

You can get them at Best Buy. I got mine for about 60 bucks. All you need are some Red/White/Yellow cables to hook the card up to the VCR and the card hooks up to the computer with a USB.
