You can buy a little usb dongle for cheap to plug in a vhs player or analog camcorder to digitize the tapes on your computer, RCA inputs vid and L/R audio. Then you can do whatever with them, burn to dvd or save to some cloud service or whatever. The dongles come with some rudimentary software to record in some basic format, you can probably find something to do it better or maybe OSs support it directly now. It's been awhile since I did it, had a cheap board in a winders box I pretty much abandoned. The vids came out ok, I thought recently about getting a dongle but then I would need the time to fool with it...

But, I can scheme... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
