[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 1021467"] Here is a trick I used in the past to digitize my tape cassettes and saved me investing in an expensive standalone unit. You will need: 1 - DVR 2 - Tape cassette player 3 - Video source for the DVR. I used a satellite receiver with RCA outputs. Connect the video output to the video input of the DVR (yellow cable) Connect the tape cassette audio outputs to the audio input of the DVR (black and red cables) Insert the tape cassette you want to digitize into the tape player. Set it to continue to side B and notice the cassette time length 60 minutes or 90 minutes Start playing the tape and at the same time start recording the satellite TV channel with the DVR, using a rewritable media. It can be any channel, static or dynamic. The video recorder won't record unless there is a video signal. When the tape comes to the end, stop recording with the DVR and finalize the DVD disk. (you can set the DVR to record the cassette time length with the timer) Now you have the tape cassette audio on the DVR. You can either use that or covert the audio part to CD if you prefer. There should a lot of software applications that can do this. You can use the rewritable DVD media for the next tape cassette you want to digitize. This way you won't have too many DVD's lying about doing nothing. [/QUOTE]
