Well, that wasn’t such a good start.
I now have an Ion USB-enabled cassette deck (also with 1/8-inch out) and it
took me three cassettes to realise that there’s faint, but noticeable, EMI.
I’m going to have to do the recording in the other room, at the very least.
And I was rather hoping to
All right, thanks Chris. Cheap and cheerful it is; this iMac has no line-in,
anyway. I want to keep my expenses low, although the more I can get out of it,
the better. I’m also rather space-constrained, so something I can hook up with
minimal cabling is appreciated. Better yet if it
Hello,
I haven’t been following this thread. But here in the UK we have a store called
Maplins who sell a product called Dazzle. It’s probably not going to be that
accessible software but the hardware from memory was OK when I purchased it for
my then partner.
Thing is, I need to transfer the video content as well as the audio, that’s
easy.
If I just wanted the audio, that’s e

Because Macs are set up with a "line" level input you should be able to
go directly from a standard tape deck into your Mac and record with your
favorite tool. Usually this means you'll need a stereo RCA to stereo
mini headphone jack cable. Of course you need a real deck, not something
meant
Yeah, definitely overkill. :)
There are mass-market digital tape decks now, with USB interfaces. Maybe it
could still be worth it. Sure, a lot of it isn’t particularly hi-fi
(audiobooks, for example) but some of it is still irreplaceable because the
“Modern” alternative doesn’t charm like

Hi,
I have an old device called the Hollywood Dazzle. Analog in and Firewire out.
You use iMovie to bring the VHS content in, do whatever editing you wish, then
it can be exported or made into a DVD. Still have the device, but haven't used
it in quite a while. The Dazzle makes iMovie think
I have a Nakamichi Dragon that would be perfect for the job but that’s probably
overkill. If we were geographically closer we could set up a lending
arrangement but I’m not sure I want to ship a rare recorder across the pond.
(for celebration reasons) I don’t even have any media for it any
If you’ll pardon the hijack, but how about cassette, along similar lines? I
have a lot of tapes that need digitising, but no player because my brother is
squatting in my flat and has replaced the old hi-fi with one of these pointless
iPod speaker boombox docks. Anyone got recommendations for
Hmm, if the video digitizer device were to show up as just another
camera you could use plain old quicktime to record a movie from that
source. It's been a long time but I think the old firewire ones did just
that. You might find a used Sony DVMC-DA2 Media Converter somewhere for
not a lot.
Okay,
Anybody out there have any experience taking both the audio and video content
from a VHS tape and putting it on their Mac? I guess the least expensive way
would be to use an analog to digital converter where one end has the composite
RCA jacks and the other end is USB. Thing I’m
