I'm sorry Annette, I thought you only wanted the audio portion of the
VHS etc. As far as importing videos, I am unsure.
Fortunately, very few commercial videos from that era included copy
protection, and there were even dual VCR decks that disabled copy
protection and which copied one VHS tape to the other nearly
automatically. If we're talking mostly home video, copy protection is
not a concern at all.
Some video cards even have RCA (phono) inputs which allow a VCR,
camcorder, DVD player etc. directly, and which have the analog to
digital converters integrated into them.
Finally, most larger cities have at least one studio/business which for
a fee will digitize your videos, photos, even convert old audio
cassettes into mp3. The services are typically, not cheap.
HTH,
Paul

that long ago.
Thanks,

If this can be done, and I am sure it can be done, as some years ago my
nephew attempted to convert commercial video cassettes I had purchased to
the DVD format. There was a block on them. Forbidding the video part to
be copied. Prior to attempting to copy any vhs. cassettes which were
purchased, my advice would be to make sure the video can also be copied. I
attempted to copy vhs cassettes to other vhs cassettes. I discovered they
were not viewable by sighted people. As the picture was scrambled. After I
copied them.

Hello All,
I've recently learned that there devices out there that will allow you
to connect a VHS player, camcorder, cassette player, etc., to your
computer so that you can save these old formats to ones that can be
used from the computer or mobile device. Does anyone have
recommendations for software and hardware that can be used with JAWS?
Thanks,
Annette
