Guest English Rose Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Still trying to find a DVD recorder to transfer VHS tape to a DVD. If you have one, I would like to borrow it or if you no longer need it, I will buy it from you. I know they are scarce but I'm hoping someone still has one. 😏😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That connects the vcr to the pc. I hope the pc has a dvd recorder device. Not all pc has a dvd device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only said that because I have fairly new, smaller Acer that does not have a DVD. Important point. Not all blank DVD are the same. There are different formats. You need to get a format that will work in both the recorder and player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I learned by trial and error. The quality of Video Capture Device and the speed of the pc has the biggest impact on the quality of the conversion. Funny thing is that I have not never show any of my conversions.

Tiny Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 3 minutes ago, jonnyintrouble said: Say a movie AVI is 2 GB (weight), You run it through HandBrake and select MKV or MP4 and it comes out about 3-500 MB. You can also adjust how much detail you wish to remain. It sizes down to two different formats. Say in an email 2GB is over the limit. This will fix it. Thanks for clarifying. There is quite a number of apps that will do that. A few better than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
