What kind of device can I use to tranfer recordings on tape to my computer?

Question

So I then can burn them to a CD?

Answer 1

Hi bluejester12,

You need to get a device like DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95. They are cheaper now. You can look at one & read about it here - http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress.h...

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I can't remember what it cost.

You connect the composite output of your VHS into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

ive never done this process myself but you will need a video card (pci or an usb adapter) which will allow analogue input either coaxial, rca or s-video..

just search ebay for 'video card' and ask the seller, the seller will be the best person to ask...it will cost you around £20 for the item..

Or if your current graphics card has video in (s-video in) you could do it that way using the right software

i hope this helps
