Runs USB2 to your VCR outputs. You get an editing programme on the enclosed disc. Only problem that we know of is that on the highest quality capture. Its VERY VERY heavy on memory.

If anyones got an idea on how to keep quality high and reduce file size lets have it

 

If a PCI card is too much hassel

£27.49 for a USB lead

I use a wintv card (£8 off ebay) with a vcr plugged into it, then i use showshifter (free from a well know p2p software) to record it, then use the same program to encode it to avi afterwards.

 

I transferred some old VHS tapes using my new DVD recorder, but only after finding out that I needed a special SCART cable to overcome the Macrovision protection on the tapes.

I found it on www.ktvision.com wed and think it cost about £30 including delivery.
