[QUOTE="kamaleon, post: 312168, member: 198507"] A great way to rip vhs into digital is to use the svideo/composite in of a miniDV camcorder, this will do the "digitalizing" on the fly and then firewire it to a PC. works like a charm and it's usually called "analog passthrough". Of course if your camcorder can't be input analog signal AND output DV through firewire to a PC at the same time, then you can always record it to the miniDV first tape then later on inport it to your PC. You can then edit your video, captured in DV, author it, encode it, etc etc. Use virtualdub for fiddlin your video and tmpenc for encoding it into mepg2 (DVD), it's the dogs bollox. Another way which has been referred to on this thread and which can prove to be alrightish is to use a random pci tv card with analog inputs, capture the video then encode it. the downside to it is that you need a quite decently fast PC to capture and huge space on your hard drive. The advantage of the camcorder method is that it will convert your video to DV (which is compressed 1:5) thus not taking as much space and CPU time to encode as the tv tuner card method. Using the later method though, you can use some codec like mjpeg or huffuyv to reduce the size of your capture, and still have a good quality. You can find loadsa useful info on doom9.org [/QUOTE]
