VCR to DVD
I have recently installed a DVD writer and wish to transfer some of my VCR
VHS video cassettes onto DVD - as these are analogue I have been told that I must install a video capture card with firewire port. Can anyone explain exactly what I need to produce modest DVD recordings. Thanks in advance. Jock |

VCR to DVD
You need a fireware port on your computer and a Canapus ADVC-100
capture device or equivalent and a lot of disk space. You will need about 178 mb of disk space per minute of Video recording plus extra workspace. Next, you will need software that can convert the .AVI file you created to MPEG format. Microsoft's Movie Maker 2 does a good job with any needed editing. A computer with a fast processor will speed things along. Then you will need software to compile and burn the DVD such as MYDVD or NERO. Some of the burning software will also take .AVI files directly but they don't always do a good job.
