a-ha VHS to DVD

Alle Infos hier: Analogue (20th Anniversary Edition) - Doppel-CD mit Demos, neuen Tracks usw. vorbestellen

    I have a lot of a-ha VHS tapes, from their early days right up to their comeback in 2000 – TV appearances, interviews and so on. I’d like to transfer all my VHS tapes to DVD. But how do I go about it? Has anyone else tried this before, perhaps? Thanks for your help!:)

    I used the HAUPPAUGE USB-Live2 01341 USB grabber. You need a halfway decent computer though and VirtualDub, OBS or the software Hauppauge Capture and set it up properly. Then you need a VCR with 4 heads to have STEREO playback and a S-Video cable for a better quality capture. The problem is though that often the digitized footage needs to be corrected and stabilized and personally I haven't figured out how to do that myself.

    The problem is that there are so many bad grabbers out there with old software or fragility of VCRs when not used for a longer time. So many things can go wrong it's unbelievable.

    This is a video about the main problem with these grabbers:

    $15 TVBox USB video capture device - Junk or gem?
    Despite negative reviews when it was new in 2006, the TVBox provides high-quality video capture at a bargain price... as long as any analog videotape sources...

    Maybe other a-ha fellows know more about this stuff and can help but if not I hope I can help at least "a little bit" (no pun intended, lol)

    Hi Angelo!

    Years ago, I bought a Panasonic DVD recorder with a hard drive. I connected the video recorder to the DVD player with a SCART cable, then transferred the VHS tape to the recorder, and from there to the DVD player. For me, as a complete non-techie, it was the simplest solution, but certainly not the cheapest or fastest...
