Does anyone know how to turn a VHS into a digital file?
    #21271127 - 02/13/15 10:41 PM (9 years, 3 months ago)

I have access to an awesome documentary from the 90's but it's only on VHS.  There are no torrents on it and all I could find about it online is an imdb page with maybe 1 review and a short trailer on a vimeo page.


Does anyone know how I could turn it into an mp4 file or something?

I found a local place that converts the analog for you and burns it to dvd. Its possible to do it yourself, but lots of weird expensive equipment is necessary. It was less than $20 to convert and burn 2 tapes from my old camcorder. Once you have it on dvd, you can convert it to pretty much any digital file you want.

But if you had a tape starring you and your gf and did not want the guy who transfers it to watch how would you do it? Can't you get vcr with usb output? This should be easy should it not?

I suppose it is possible for less than I thought :shrug:
I'm not sure this was available years ago when I had mine converted. You'll probably have to buy or torrent the converting software. This aint really my bag though so Im not sure what the requirements are.

In my town there is a place you can take the analog and get it converted into a dvd. Costs around 20$ I believe.
