I want to capture it, enhance it, as it has degredated over last 25-30 yrs. The videos have lost colors, have disturbance in audio, I want to correct all deficiencies and preserve it for generations to come.</p> <p>What is the best hardware as well as software to do this? What is the best format to preserve this?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/analog-video-users-today#post-74477 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:28:08 +0000 Peter Rose 74477@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>With about 90,000 members to Videomaker, I am very curious as to how many of us are still using analog camcorders (VHS, VHS-C, S-VHS-C, 8mm, Hi-8, etc.).  I find it hard to believe that all of the Videomaker members are ALL into digital only.  I would like to have feedback from some analog members who still enjoy using this format vs digital (or maybe use both).  If everyone was shooting digital only, then there would be no market for analog tapes.  However, there are many outlets selling lots of analog tapes, including some of the camcorder manufacturers themselves.</p> <p>Any comments ad feedback, please? Thanks folks.  </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hd-camcorder-to-vhs#post-48506 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 16:34:51 +0000 manny 48506@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>&lt;span style="font-family: arial; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 13px;"&gt; </p> <p>First off thanks for taking the time to read through my question. I am a noob to video editing and so pardon my ignorance. I own a HD camcorder (Sony HDR SR11) that records in the AVCHD format. </p> <p>I made a documentary for a contest that requires submission in - "standard VHS in either NTSC or PAL/SEACAM formats". I am not sure how to convert my HD video to these formats. How would I approach this? Would I be getting better quality with a (cheaper?) SD camcorder rather than trying to downconvert the HD video?</p> <p>Also, if I need to burn the HD video onto a regular DVD so that it plays on non-hd televisions - how would I approach that?</p> <p> Any help would be appreciated. </p> <p>&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/creating-dvds-from-vhs-tapes#post-42262 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 06:16:30 +0000 Welshmike 42262@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Please help.</p> <p>I want to copy all my old VHS tapes to DVDs and believe that I did do one about 6 years ago ago.</p> <p>I'm not sure what video editing software I used as I had and still have Ulead VideoStudio 5 and Ulead  VidoeStudio 6 SE DVD. It may have been Pinnacle Studio 8 borrowed from a friend. Also I've forgotten what connections I need from VHS recorder/player to my PC. IIRC I used a Scart adapter from the VHS player, maybe the SVHS connecter via cable lead to SVHS connecter on appropriate desktop PC's PCI card. Stupid me having lost the info about that PCI card. Guess I need to take it out of the PC, put a photo on the web and ask forum members their advice.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/combining-two-different-formats-into-one-dvd#post-34061 Fri, 07 Dec 2007 19:51:12 +0000 Pizzaman 34061@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am trying to combine VHS and HI-8 format tapes into a single production to burn onto a DVD.

What's the procedure for this other than plugging your Video player into  a DVD recorder. I assume that the professionals use a more hi tech way of doing it?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-to-make-dvds-from-vhs-tapes-and-dvds#post-33763 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:13:40 +0000 duplicator 33763@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>HI,</p> <p>Im looking for an efficient way to make copies of non-copyrighted vhs tapes and dvds.  I work in a law library and can only make copies while I am there.  I know that VHS tapes must be recorded in realtime with DVD/VCR recorders, but I am wondering if there is a way to create or use a system that will combine all my needs into one unit.  Since VHS is recorded in realtime, I would preferably like to have the option of using 2 or more vhs to dvd (or hd)  recorders at a time.  Is this possible? What about using vhs camcorders? I like this because they come with lcd screens that can help me cue up the video i need to replicate. Can they be connected to a burner or standalone burner? Are there any ideas.  My budget is also somwhat limited, for now, until i can get this rolling.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/archiving-vhs-to-mini-dv#post-33728 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 11:45:15 +0000 giantonion 33728@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I just recently purchased the Sony DCR HC 48 Handycam... after scouring Apple's iMovie discussion boards, it appears as though I will NOT be able to transfer VHS footage digitally using this camcorder as a pass through.  This is definitely a problem for me, as I was hoping to archive many VHS tapes to mini-dv.  The emphasis is to archive to mini-dv as opposed to importing all vhs footage directly into iMovie, which could ultimately tie up my internal hard drive (I would like to go through the tapes and edit them at a later date).</p> <p>&lt;p class="gmail_quote"&gt;</p> <p>If I buy an analog to digital converter, do you know if I can somehow transfer the vhs to a mini-dv cassette with this approach?  Again, I would prefer not to directly copy footage into the computer.  What about investing in a vcr/mini-dv unit such as the one linked below?  It appears as though they are no longer manufacturing these but, given my situation, and the number of tapes I am hoping to archive (and eventually edit), it may be a wise purchase.</p> <p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-SR-VS30U-Mini-DV-S-VHS-VCR_W0QQitemZ110189573382QQihZ001QQcategoryZ3318QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-SR&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;-VS30U-Mini-DV-S-VHS-VCR&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;_W0QQitemZ110189573382QQihZ001Q&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;QcategoryZ3318QQssPageNameZWDVW&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/JVC-SR&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;-VS30U-Mini-DV-S-VHS-VCR&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;_W0QQitemZ110189573382QQihZ001Q&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;QcategoryZ3318QQssPageNameZWDVW&#038;lt;wbr&#038;gt;&#038;lt;/wbr&#038;gt;QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a> </a></p> <p>Please write when you have a moment.  Thank you in advance for your assistance... much appreciated!!!</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Joe</p>
