Importing Video

[Crisco Kid]

I appreciate the comments & suggestions, but, my goal is to back up my
favorite commercial DVD movies. I have already lost a vew tapes to age and I
would like to put some of my copy protected VHS movies on DVD. I don't
believe I am breaking any copyright laws, I simply want to back them up to
keep from loosing them. Using a video player and a DVD recorder doesn't work
without buying a digital video stabilizer. I was hoping to do this without
investing a lot of money in equipment, but I may have to anyway. Looks like
Microsoft has let me down again.

Thats fairly simple to do,1st you need a video capture card (video in jacks),
usually they have RCA connections or you can convert (radio shack),ATI
makes one for about 50.00.Once set up,simply install the drivers for the
card,
forget the software,download WM encoder 9 series + its utilities,WMCAP
is nice for "viewing contents",the encoder lets you view also,set to capture
audio/video.Once captured,run the file thru encoder "convert",then its set to
burn to DVD......

Same problem on pc, you will have to by software to remove the copy
protection. The other method is your best bet.

Uh Oh, I noticed in my last thread, I stated I want to back up my DVD's. I
meant to say VHS's. I want to take my favorite commercial (copyrighted) VHS
movies and put them on DVD.
