It's Never Been Easier (Or Cheaper) To Digitize Your VHS Tapes
This year I finally decided to convert my family's home movies to digital. I was dreading the process, but it was surprisingly easy and quick! Thanks for watching, leave a comment telling me what you thought of the video.

Spider-Man 2 (2004) - the awful pc version
ive tried cheap methods but never cared for the results. if you still have a working vhs then imo a clear click 2 mini or 3.0 works good for the average user. it auto deinterlaced (yadif bob) at 60fps and records good quality h264 files. i rip tapes professionally so i used quite a bit more expensive equipment. if you are wanting the best quality these a whole rabbit hole of what works best which can get up into several thousands in equipment cost depending on your set up.
My idea was to just use a vcr/DVD recorder and transfer them over to DVD and then rip the dvds with the pc but a capture Card adapter seems so much easier as it skips a few steps
If you have any TV recordings with original commercials, you should also consider posting them to the Internet Archive.
Converting officially released VHS movies should be fine. You’re doing the exact same thing plugging your vcr into your laptop as you are plugging your vcr into a tv. The laptop simply just records the video that it’s receiving.
Sony DVDirect VRD-MC5 DVD Recorder is supposed to be your best option. Gives the best picture quality and they're not expensive.
Yeah they don't seem expensive. I'll have to look into that, thanks! This is what was available to me currently but maybe I could do a followup and comparison in the future.
@@SpaGOATy VWestlife beat you to it. That's where I got the info from.
I've beaten this game a few times & gotten the high score a few times as well, mostly by buying medicines & clothing & by hunting & trading. It also helped that I would save the game often so that if something bad happened, I could just reload the save game & try that part again.
Yep, I know I've beaten it a couple times too in the past. If I didn't make a wrong turn and done some better preparation we probably would have made it..😅 good strategy with the game saves though👍
I'm only a minute into the video so I don't know if this is brought up The reason the cutscenes are screwed up and they interrupt each other is because the game wasn't made for Modern Day 2020s Fancy Computers. It's from 2003. It caps at 60 FPS. If your computer's FPS is higher than 60 FPS, the game is all screwy. I had to download an application to cap my Computer's frame rate at 60 FPS and the game runs fine when I do that minus a glitch here or there but it does run how I remember it. PS, this game is my childhood and I LOVE it TBH.
I figured it was something like that. I thought it was pretty funny either way so just went with it😂 I forgot about this game for the longest time. it was fun to revisit!
I would just like to say, also am in the hobby of digitizing VHS Tapes as well. I have an AV to USB device and I use USB. I would just like to correct you on a point you made in this video, but you CAN record coprighted movies and TV Shows from VHS. I know because I've done it before. Star Wars for example. The old 1970s Spider-Man TV Show starring Nicholas Hammond. An old Superboy Cartoon Show VHS Tape with 10 episodes on it.
thanks! I've seen a couple people say that now. I tried with a couple of old movies I had so maybe it was something screwy with just those two. Yeah the USB/av system I used isn't the best (apparently possibly the worst way for backup according to some comments) but tbh it's what I can do right now so better than nothing. Maybe I can do a followup video in the future where I do a more preferred method of backup and can do some comparisons side by side. There's lots of videos about this but just wanted to share my experiences with it. Thanks again!
I did this with my tapes a long time ago. I used Roxio DVD converter.
TIME BASE CORRECTOR
A VCR I have has active video calibration and a video stabilizer. It also has S video outputs. Would you say that would be good for digitizing them?
0:40 The Two WHAT??
You can actually record any vhs tape they don't actually have drm protection at least that I've found
I happen to have an Elgato video capture device and I think it’s enough for me when it comes to recording VHS openings.
This is the very basic; it’s nice if you don’t care about quality or just like buying junk. Services even are outdated now with what you can do. There’s special cards to get the RF signals and convert that raw data to video. Please if you care do some research or pay for them to be transferred. Those plug and play are really sub par but you accept it because you think oh it’s old video it’ll never look good. Very wrong
there is a much easyer way too digitize your VHS tapes or anything with a video out! just get yourself a Sony VRD-MC5 DVD recorder. very good quality and almost everything goes automatic. VWESTLIFE made a video about it. it's how i got mine and it works much better then doing it via computer or cheap USB capture sticks/cards!
We did the same with my family’s old tapes. We can only find 2 discs tho. One from vacation, and the other of a soccer match. We can’t find the others but they’re definitely somewhere around the house (likely in the hot press which definitely isn’t the best place to store them so we’ll have to see if that’s them)
VHS stands for Vertical Helical Standard. The method in which the data is played from the tape, its why the head is at an angle and not vertical.
Video Home System.
hmm it seems that VHS started as Vertical Helical Standard but changed to Video Home Standard. I only found this through an initial Google search but makes sense as you say that's how they were recorded. I thought data was recorded in a diagonal pattern on the tape but you say the heads are at an angle so that would make it vertical? I'll have to learn more, thanks!
I got lord of the rings on dvd
Great video , I have a few digital 8 camcorder footage to transfer . Been busy playing with my new 4k pioneer over Xmas 👌👌👌👌
exactly what I needed. TY
GYAATTTT
I have tapes from the 80s that should be digitized ever sense I saw this video I never cared but now I have them on a SD card so thank you 😄
Back in the day there were also VCP's(video cassette players), they didn't record, they just played. I think more people used VCRs instead of VCPs.
I subscribed, let's get you to 100. Then 1k subscribers, then 1M. 😊 MERRY CHRISTMAS
While it's easy and cheap, unfortunately the end result is crap. It's better than not having your tapes digitised and risking losing them, but it's worth doing it right.
dude its better to not loose information than wait for some big foureyes nerd to say "its good now" because they don't wanna buy expensive equipment and loose everything in the proccess, if you don't make concessions and forfeits then you'll never be able to use technology
I think it's definitely a fair comment from @NikiDaDude. I've looked into some cards and at some comparison videos and what I have is just more convenient at this time. Of course we won't throw away the tapes, but for right now I wanted them backed up in some way at least. thank you
@@circleinforthecube5170 I said it's better than not having any backups of your tapes, so we don't disagree. However, tape backup should be done "right" and it should be done sooner rather than later because the VHS tapes will not last forever.
@@SpaGOATy Digitizing videos takes a large degree of trial, error and testing. Sometimes you will need to use a few VCRs before a random tape will play back right. I've even gone as far as recording a recently released horror movie on DVD/Blu Ray onto VHS and then digitizing the VHS just so I can watch it in a more "authentic" horror movie aesthetic.
1:02 as the scene zooms in. I'm really getting freaked out by the nutcracker puppet 😵💫
Some things are better left unremembered.
Dw we will be
Those cheap devices are horrible! MPG 1 and sound like 128kbps or even vorst. VHS have 20hz to 20kHz... so this is not even near. need to be 320kbps for mp3. And video 720x520p. Only good devices can do that. So it's best way to save your tapes, and clean VCR heards 😄
Maybe a used dazzle would be decent for a budget device. I believe the original base model was lacking but the later models and likely more common at this point should have those features easy.
@@matthewzepess5721 If backup method is worst than original, why to do that? When look copy where is mosaic effect etc, it's useless
@RetroMechanic thanks😅 we still have the tapes but at least they are stored in a format that won't degrade as fast over time. Will look into more variety of devices to see the advantages you are talking about. thanks!
Hi-fi tracks only. Linear tracks don't reach 20kHz.
@@debranchelowtone Correct. S-VHS can do 20-20kHz because it's use video drum to store part of audio.
Cool what model Emerson crt do you use??
Thank you! My mom mentioned wanting to do something like this.
By far my favorite video from your channel. I am big into tech and really enjoyed the video and the process
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. This video is a little different from my others but I had fun making it.
Scurvy killed you. Any fruit or vegetable food items would've kept your party in the game a while longer. A trade could've been enough to save you. Maximum river depth for fording is 2 & a half feet. Any deeper must be caulked. 14:05 A wrong trail was taken sometime during this edit.
true, it's been a while since I've played too. I didn't know the maximum ford depth, thanks!

These are all creepy game
really well made vid. didn’t even recognize the low sub count until after i was done. you’re real good at this man
@High5gh0st thank you! I'm glad you liked it
I played Majora's Mask for the first time when I was about 15 and it still freaked me out!
If you ever made it to the music house, that is the darkest part of the game IMO. It's really interesting how far they can push some darker themes and still get an E rating.
Sometimes you have to wonder if these developers ever remembered the games they were making were for kids.
I sort of miss the feel of these older games, it seems like developers try to play it a lot safer today.
@@SpaGOATy Yeah, true.
