Most of us have losts of old home video VHS tapes on which our precious memories are stored: graduation, wedding, birthday parties, baby showers, etc. While VCR is slowly disappearing from the market, to convert VHS to DVD is a good choice to keep those memories for longer time.

With Capture Card+DVD Burner

With DVD Recorder

With VHS Conversion Service

With Capture Card+DVD Creator

Using a capture tool is usually the least expensive way to record VHS tapes. It can capture or convert the analog video signal from VHS tapes to a digital format saved on computer, where it can be edited and enhanced. Then you can burn the final version VHS to DVD with a DVD Creator. This method also allows you to convert copy protected VHS tapes, which the other methods can not.

Step 1 Configure capture card to your computer

There are lots of videos on YouTube show how to configure capture card to a computer. Designate a hard drive with a lot of free real estate to save the generated video files. Set the video quality as 720X480 (standard Digital Video format).

Step 2 Connect VHS player with capture card

If possible, use a S-video cable or cables with RCA connectors to connect your VHS player with the capture card. Otherwise, coaxial cable and the capture card tuner are ok.

Step 3 Start recording/converting

Start recording first, then start playing the VHS tape to make sure no video chips are missed. Keep an eye on the recording process and stop it when the tape comes to the end.

Step 4 Launch DVD Creator and start burning

When all VHS movies have been copied to hard drive, the format is generally AVI or MPEG. Download and install FLV to DVD Converter.
