How do I convert VHS videocassettes to Youtube format for upload. These are very old tapes.?

Answer 1

You can connect your VCR to a Dazzle video device (for Windows) or a Pinnacle video device (for Mac computers).

Both video devices connect to your computer via USB and to the VCR via standard A/V RCA cables (yellow, red, white).  You can then put your  tapes in a standard VCR and record them to your computer.

The video will be recorded in a format and resolution perfect for uploading to YouTube.  You may also be able to import the videos into Windows Movie Maker (in Windows) or iMovie (in iLife on Macs) for editing before uploading to YouTube.
