Archive Your VHS Tapes to DVD
Posted by Brendan Goetz in "THOUGHT" @ 08:00 AM
"The Honestec hardware interface keeps the connections to a minimum, connecting to the computer via USB and connecting to your VCR via either composite or S-video connections depending on what your VCR can handle. The connections also work for Hi8 and VHS-C camcorders. The bundled software interface is very straightforward, handholding through the process of setting up to capture video, providing a wizard-driven interface for stepping through the video process and helping you build basic menus when outputting to DVD…It comes with all the software and hardware required to do the job without introducing any of the wonky issues sometimes caused in using other hardware solutions for capturing video."
My training buddy has a bunch of videos of him fighting in amateur Muay-Thai fights. This is exactly the kind of thing he needs to get those tapes archived (he’s not very technical, he seems to regard computers as some form of black magic). Looks like a solid product. Not too complicated, but useful for doing this task. I’m sure everybody has at least one or two VHS tapes they would like to save for eternity. My 11th birthday video, however, will be consigned to the abyss…
