Here's a suite of VHS based work from me:

http://michaellightborne.businesscatalyst.com/vhs-suite.html

It's relatively easy to get digital video onto VHS - you just need a VCR 
and a composite or (S-Video) output on whatever digital player you are 
using. The most straighforward setup (though not offering the best 
quality before the video gets to VHS) is to burn your video onto DVD and 
then dub to a VHS cassette. DVDplayer - VCR

2015-07-14 Thread Amanda Christie
I recently finished a VHS project... performative work looping between two 
modified decks and working with a handmade video switcher built in a peppermint 
tin...

however, i finished the project to digital because the work we did with VHS was 
performative and quite physical, so the tape took quite a beating during the 
creation process, as such, digital finish seemed to be the most stable in that 
instance 

the project was a collaboration between myself and Léandre Bourgeois, and it's 
distributed by CFMDC.  more info can be found here:

because you are going from one format to another, and they need a machine in 
between to convert it.
you are not changing the scan rate, correct, but you would be converting one 
resolution to another, lower resolution.

You would go in 1080i (example) from the computer, and export it NTSC to your 
VHS deck.

Scan converter is the simplified name of the device you would would use.

Actually, a Matrox MX02 is a cheaper option, and it's an external card, so no 
need to open up your editing machine, or indeed more useful if you're working 
from a laptop

Re: [Frameworks] Digital file to VHS?

2015-07-14 Thread k. a.r.
There is a professional piece of video production gear known as a scan 
converter.
The correct scan converter for your needs will have analog outs to go into a 
VHS deck.
This will give you a purer image than burn your video
onto DVD and then dub to a VHS cassette. DVDplayer - VCR

Scan converters come in a range of qualities and prices.
They can take different resolutions in, and modify them as they go out.
Some are simple with only presets, and some are very complex, with the ability 
to manipulate the ingoing and outgoing signals.
They can be rented from A/V rental houses.
Buying would be pretty expensive.

Here's an example a good one that you could use.
