| 1163485 | 2010-12-20 03:00:00 | I have a commercial Video that I want to copy to my PC and then save it to a DVD. How do I go about the first part - copying the video to the PC? |

| 1163486 | 2010-12-20 03:02:00 | You'll need a capture card or something. With something like an s-video or some kind of video in input on it. And a program to record the signal / sound. Something like a leadtek tuner would do it. If you can find one | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1163487 | 2010-12-20 03:07:00 | www.ascent.co.nz Something like that, however it's really nice to have something with hardware encoding on the card, as well as audio inputs. Parents have that same model series of card, but it had audio inputs and hardware mpeg encoding. Came with some half decent software. $150. Can't find it anymore though. :( |

Those are all fine, Leadtek and AverMedia do ones very similar, but the issue is the Mpeg encoding. Unless you have a quick processor (C2D 3GHz +) it will bring things to a screaming halt |

| 1163492 | 2010-12-20 21:56:00 | I did this with a cheap tv tuner card with composite video in. the results were surprisingly good. I captured to mpg-2 format so there was no need to re encode for DVD and authored using nervision express - there's an obscure setting somewhere to not re encode compliant mpg 2 video that speeds thing up tremendously. Bear in mind however that capture devices may have copy protection built in using the old macrovision system and may refuse to capture commercial VHS content. |

| 1163493 | 2010-12-21 08:01:00 | Why not cut out the middleman.If you are not too concerned about quality why don't you hook up your VCR to your DVD recorder,copy it on to the hard drive then you can either choose to keep it there to watch or then record it to DVD. I've done this with quite a few of my old VCR tapes. | amyes5 (2773) | ||
