Question

How do you burn a dvd from a vhsc tape?

Answer 1

get a video tuner card or video capture device, then simply capture the video with windows movie maker and burn the finished file onto a DVD. It doesn't necessarily have to be captured with WMM, it's just that I prefer to not install any additional software.

If you need detailed information, e-mail me, as I've already helped others do this.

Answer 2

Hi Mark,

I embarked on a project to transfer my VHS tapes to DVD and I had some problems. First I found most of my VHS tapes had copy protection and could not be copied. I went to Best Buy and bought a "Simo T120 GoDVD" which you put in-line between your VHS player and your DVD recorder. It removes the copy-guard and "enhances" the video. It was, I think, $59.95.

Connect the output of the VHS into the input of the Simo and the output of the Simo into your DVD recorder.

Remember that to start with your VHS quality is passable but certainly far below a DVD. Now the copy process degrades it further. Don't get me wrong - my copies are certainly watchable.

The other thing that wore me down was you have to copy in real time. A two hour movie takes two hours to copy. I learned to set it up before I went out and just let the tape and DVD run out. If a movie is over two hours you have to use the four hour mode on the DVD recorder. That reduces the quality slightly.

That is my experience. I still have some tapes I haven't copied but my stack is greatly reduced.

Back to the Simo - I can't testify how much the video enhancer feature actually did because I didn't compare two copies of the same thing. The quality I got was acceptable so I just tolerated it.
