| 1299706 | 2012-09-09 00:05:00 | Hi, what would be the best way to connect my video player to my laptop to convert VHS tapes to say avi? I have a magic box decoder and was wondering if I can connect the aerial out on the video to the aerial in and then send the signal via hdmi to the laptop. I also looked at the Easy Cap converter but it gets mixed reviews. I have hdni and usb on the laptop and only RCA out on the video recorder. I would like to keep the quality of the videos as they are home movies of the kids growing up. Thanks, asdex. |

That'll save the format as avi / whatever. Then you can burn it after. Dont think you need the aerial, if youre capturing from vcr to a computer. All you need are the cables and a program to capture the video and audio | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
