Converting videos to computer

There is no way around this. You are taking an analogue image from a magnetic tape and trying to convert it to a digital format on the hard drive of the computer. You are also converting RCA to HDMI connections. Every conversion loses quality due to the program converting and compressing the data.

HDMI Description High-Definition Multimedia Interface is a proprietary audio/video interface for transmitting uncompressed video data and compressed or uncompressed digital audio data from an HDMI-compliant source ...

There are several ways to do this. It will somewhat depend on what type of laptop you have (PC or Apple) as to what software it uses and how it is done. You can find some videos on Youtube on converting (like the one below) or click on the blue link for another explanation.

How to Transfer Cassette Tape to Computer

You will need a VHS tape player, and a DVD recorder in order to transfer the content of your VHS tape to DVD. You can also use your computer to convert VHS to DVD. Here is an excellent site with in-depth information on converting VHS to DVD: http://www.vhstodvd.com/

I can only offer you 1 option for this case.
In converting the VHS video tape to DVD you can use computer. All you need to have is the VHS player with RCA audio video cables. Then a computer that has video capture card or USB capture card. This will take time but you can just transfer all the copyrighted videos to DVD and to computer data (post to internet)

*Needs realtime transfer VHS to Computer with the prefered resolution option.
*Burn to DVD, it will depends on your DVD drive speed.

You have several options. But important one to understand is the limitations of a PIII computer like Armada e500. You may not have enough grunt to convert stuff, even after buying the necessary video capture devices which work on USB.

Also I am assuming you either have the jvc camcorder still available or atleast have a VHS-C to VHS adapter to play the tapes on a standard VHS tape player.

Unless you are having a lot tapes and need editing while converting, your better bet might be to go to one of the shops that convert these tapes on to DVD or a suitable flash drive which might work out cheaper and quicker.

The last time I did this thing (quality of my VHS-C tapes was bad) I bought a Samsung combined VHS Video / DVD recorder and used the dubbing feature to burn DVDs. Cost me about $150 a year ago. I was able to do some editing on the way as I was connected to the TV screen as well. Saved me the hassles of dealling with the PC type video capture devices and software.

Even though your camcorder says Digital it still records in Analog via the tape.Your memory stick is the digital part and computer compatible.You will need to buy a converter (mine cost $25) to use this camera with a computer.The download would be in real time,at whatever speed you camcorder plays and it takes forever,believe me,I know.I have some 50 different tapes I'm converting to be put on DVD.These converters are available just about everywhere, or take it to your local fotoshop and they will do the conversion for you.Hope this helps?

yes , there is a free software to convert the Tape video to CD or DVD from AVS4you or go to google to find that

I don't believe the tape part is compatible,it's in Analog not Digital.If you record to the memory stick that is digital and computer compatible.The video cassette will need converting into digital just as you would a VHS tape.You will need to purchase a converter or take the tape to a photo shop.They can convert it to a readable disk for you.Sorry,that's a really nice camcorder.But it's not compatible with a computer as is.

Did u try to connect your cam to a DVD recorder and record a dvd with the information from your tapes? Or I suggest to go to an electronic store and ask about a video converter package (Plextor and Dazzle both from Pinnacle Studio) and they will give you all the information. If you have more question please do not hesitate. Best regards

This is not a converting unit, it will play the format of the tape inside. To convert the signal you need one of the following:

1) A converting VHS player; they are fairly expensive.
2) A separate video converter (hardware); they run for about $200-$500; just put this between your VCR and the TV.
3) Capture the PAL on your computer using a software like Movie Maker via a Firewire cable. Than convert it to NTSC on your machine using software like Nero... do a search on Google for converting software. Or just watch it on our computer in PAL format, most computers do that... For this step I use a separate camcoder that has a passthrough feature. The VCR connects to it and the camcorder connects to the computer via Firewire.
4) send the PAL tape to a specialized shop for conversion. They normally charge $30-$40 for a regular 2h VHS tape.
