Question

To connect VHS camcorder to laptop, to transfer video footage what connections do i need?

Answer 1

If you have an analog (VHS) camcorder…

You need an analog converter, either internal card or external such as the dazzle. It's very easy to use and come with good software. You would hook your analog VHS camera or VCR to the analog converter, the dazzle and then hook the dazzle to your PC. The dazzle cost around 70.00 , but worth the money if you have a lot of VHS to tapes to convert.

Answer 2

You need a TV capture card (USB) for your laptop. It comes with the leads.

You may also need an external Hard Drive (USB) as video take up alot of hard drive space.
