Subject: VHS to camcorder to computer??OS: xpCPU/Ram: P4 3.20GHZ/2 GB Ram |
Comment: I want to take vhs tapes and get them on my computer to edit and burn. I have 2 camcorders - one is mini Dvd, but doesn't have the capability to be put on pc - the other is an analog Sony Handicam TRV-25. I tried today to see if I could record the vhs tape onto the handicam, but apparently I can't. How am I to get the vhs footage onto my computer? Is there some other way?

My device manager says I have Legacy Video Capture devices - I also have Adobe Premiere 6.0. as well as the Windows Movie Maker. My son also has a SonyVaio with that GigaPocket stuff - but I still don't know how to get the VHS to either of these computers to be edited. Thanks SO MUCH in advance for any help you may have!

Reply: (edit)the sony vaio should have a rca a/v input in the front or back.. he should have some sort of video playing software.. that will show the incomming signal. then I would think you could just set the record format and start it up. Shuttle AN35N-Ultra
AMD 2600B-M O/C 2.3Gig
Geil 1gb 3200DDR

Reply: (edit)OK, so just plug in those 3 plugs in each, play the vcr and can record in say Premiere? OK - no options for the Dell that you can see? Thanks so much for your quick response goldenknob!

Reply: (edit)If the Dell doesn't have a Video/audio capture card, you will have to install one. Hopefully you have a free PCI slot.

Reply: (edit)Thanks max00 - like I said my device manager says I have Legacy Video Capture devices - is that the same thing? I'm pretty sure .... oh its a 128 MB DDR ATI Radeon 9800 Pro - thats a capture card right? Under Display adapters? Yes Bryco - I saw that thing on the Plextor and am seriously considering it if all else is not capable of being done. Thanks for your help.

Reply: (edit)From the quick search I did, it doesn't look like the ATI9800 Pro has video capture.
A video capture card normally has three RCA jacks, yellow for video, red and white for audio.

Reply: (edit)If you have firewire input on your computer and your mini-dv camcorder has firewire output as well as the analog inputs. You may be able to use your mini-dv as a converter. This works with some mini-dv models (some Sony's have this feature).

Reply: (edit)If you have a MiniDV camera, it SHOULD have a firewire connection for your PC. VHS to DVcam to Premiere. No capture card needed. Firewire cards are pretty much free after rebate and multipurpose vs. $100+ single task vid capture card. I use a JVC MiniDV deck (small VCR basically) fo all my capture & conversions. Same as using a DVcam, which is what I used before purchasing the deck.
