Analog video tape into digital format on a CD?

Hi,

Firstly, you will need:

• The Video Cassette you want to copy
• A VCR to play the cassette
• A Blank CD-R to record the captured video
• A computer with a video capture card (like AVerDVD EZMaker Video Capture Card or Pyro 1394DV Digital Video Capture Card, etc) installed. You will also need a CD-R/W drive in your computer to burn the resulting movie file to a CD.
• If you are purchasing a video capture card, they usually come with the necessary software.
• Cables to connect your VCR to the PC. If you are purchasing a card like in 3 above, you should receive the cables with your card.
• Software for converting VCR video to avi or mpeg.

Secondly, to convert the video-cassette you should do the following-

• Install the video capture card in your PC – usually in a PCI slot.
• Connect the VCR output to the card input on your PC.
• Power on your PC and the VCR.
• Start the video capture software on your computer, Pop in the video-cassette into the VCR and follow the instructions as per the software's manual.
• This should convert the video-cassette into a digital movie file on your computer's hard disk.
• Convert video to avi or mpeg
• Next, use the CD burning software which came with your computer to burn this movie onto the CD-R.

Hope this helps you. Good luck!
