How to capture VHS to the comp?

Post by even13flow »

Hey guys, I've never ever transferred anything from VHS to my computer - but I now have a need to do so.

I know of some options like TV Capture Cards, but there has to be a cheap and easy way to do it because I only need to do this for like 4 or 5 videos. The project is so stupid I don't even want to mention what it is. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out with this question.

just go buy one of those stand alone dvd recorders to capture your tapes to dvd. When you're done, return it. Most electronics have a 15 - 30 day return policy.
