A nice project! VHS is actually NOT as bad as digital filters on smart phones make it seem. My recent short SciFi Horror film was shot entirely on actual VHS using my camcorder from 1986. I highly recommend shooting straight to VHS. Less cables required and It's a great challenge lol.
VHS isn't that bad at the good end, but most people were watching tapes that had been rerecorded over and over, or renting videos that had been played to death on low grade consumer players. So there was bad too, that said it wasn't helped by crt
Good job man. I'm older than you so I've lived through the tech firsthand and have done exactly what you've done here a couple of times in the not too distant past. It's great to see someone like your(younger)self having an appreciation for the shitty picture quality that we had to deal with back in the day. I love retro tech, can't get enough so it was fun to see you embrace it.
That’s really cool to see digital media converted successfully into analog VHS. Funny since we normally celebrate converting analog to digital. Nice background music! Also shoutout to early ‘90s kids! I was born in ‘93. The year of Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, and The Sandlot.
Thanks bro! I remember taping movies from cable to VHS as a kid, but digital has added an extra problem step. Appreciate you! I lost my VHS collection years ago and I'm just hoping it build it back up. I'm also definitely going to make myself a copy of Twilight on VHS 😂
Love this idea. You were the first thing to come up when I googled it lol. Your video is so detailed and not over the top. No story about grandma's recipe to convert digital to analog
Very interesting. I would’ve never thought to try something like this, but it definitely would be something fun to try out in the future. Awesome stuff.
you can also buy dvd/vhs combo players that transfers back and forth. 2nd hand there like $100 or less. I got a Sony its pretty cool cos it plays both and transfers/copy's both formats
duuuuuuude thank you so so much for this. I was planning to do exactly this, great to see how it comes out when reversed and put back to digital, it's definitely worth it.
Great video! I'm from your parents generation so to have you give me pointers on how to convert digital/analog signals is pretty awesome. Commendations for you for going through this process rather than using a plug-in. It's much more rewarding in the end. Keep on going!
Hey man thanks for this video I just got into collecting vhs again but I wanted to learn how to put a modern movies onto vhs this really helped I appreciate iy
well, a easier version is if you have a camcorder, and it has a port with AV, you can find a cord to connect to the camera to the VCR. you may have to search online for the cable and camera, but it’s the easiest way I know.
Thanks so much, I’m 35 and my son and daughter which they grew up in the 90s we are trying to bring the 90s to them and VHS is a big thing ! The told them about blockbuster and they couldn’t believe it
I know a better way 1. Get a blank DVD and put it on your computer where your files are and burn it to DVD 2. Plug the DVD Player in the VHS TV/RECORDER COMBO 3. Put the tape in and record Done!
wanted to know the same thing, I'm thinking minimum 40lb, maybe 80lb MATTE photo paper?? what kinda glue though, and do you need a printer that goes bigger than 8 1/2 by 11?
What I usually do is burn my video file to a DVD using a DVD making program so that way I can make it cropped 4:3 instead of stretching it, and then you can either play it on a DVD player connected to the VCR's video input or some DVD/VCR combos have DVD -> VHS recording. You can also do it the other way with some DVD/VCR combos which is how I digitized a lot of old TV recordings.
You don't need the hdmi2av also for the VHS-Digital conversion, a simple USB based video grabber will also do, there is very little if any quality loss, but i guess use it if you have it haha
This is actually 1:1 with my current VHS setup :3! GG on figuring out all the quirks. Only thing is I have my CRT as my second monitor outputting natively in 4:3.
The way i normally convert from digital to analog is I take my video file, throw it in itunes, convert it to work on ipod, throw it on my ipod, connect my ipod to a dock with video out, connect the video out to my vcr, of course i cant get audio through because an ipod dock already has a speaker and no analog audio out so i just record the speaker audio through a microphone connected through a dac that coverts it to analog rca, which is now not really in sync but its fine its the easiest way to do it...
Dude ! Lovin' the Shin Godzilla poster in the background ! Cool stuff! I'm planning on experimenting with doing something like this but just audio for recording music.
Using component or SCART would provide a much better quality to the VCR player, although VCRs with component input are rare SCART is quite common in the UK
I used an hdmi adapter to hook up a chrome cast directly to my crt. Then record from there. The adapter I has does a good job of rescaling the image to 4:3 so no editing is needed via computer.
The ps3 is my goto for recording to VHS, it outputs all the analog signals you'd want, has great media server/home network functionality built-in, and are super easily modded for further functionality. Plus they can show up dirt cheap!
Ok so SOMEONE PLEASE answer me this: I’ve tried multiple converters, tapes, VCRs, TVs, and AV cables. I can get my computer’s screen/video to record onto a tape via a VCR, but there’s never ANY sound on the recording. However, the sound comes through the TV’s speakers when I’m playing the video on my laptop. So sound must be transmitting through my HDMI port. It just will NOT record sound onto a tape. If I insert a pre-recorded tape into the VCR, it plays everything fine. Video and sound are both there. It’s just whatever I TRY TO RECORD. Someone PLEASE help me fix this!
Make sure your laptop or PC is correct audio sampling rate in 16 Bit 44100Hz not 24 Bit 48000Hz. Because VHS can't record audio in these sampling rate.
@@ryangodoy Thank you anyway-I figured it out! It was the VCRs. The three different VCRs I used all had lost the ability to record audio. Pretty crazy. I’ve got a couple nicer ones now and they both record video and audio perfectly. The joys of working with old analog tech.

I heard a lot of capture devices don't capture the *entire* frame, I have some old VHS and Hi8 tapes I need to digitise, does anyone know one which will not crop at all, not even 0.1%?
Good times, fun post to watch, thanks for putting it up there. I trust you FF and rewound the blank tape before you recorded on it. And of course, cleaned the VHS heads.
interesting idea, though I'm going to simplify it using an Easy Cap A/V to USB to my Panasonic VCR (which will also be connected to my TV using another set of RCA composite cables). hopefully it works. (while I'm at it I'll be transferring DIY game movies such as The last of us, Left Behind, Republic Commando, FNAF Security Breach, Half Life, Fallout, MLP, and Duke Nukem).
i think it would be fun to stick a VERY modern movie or tv show or youtube video or something on a vhs and give it to a goodwill, imagine someone buys some unlabeled tape and they play it and its just like some mr beast video or something
For the real try hards get a super vhs player with tbc. It makes for a much cleaner picture. You can also get an external tbc for your vcr if it has s video in and out.
I saw that at about the time stamp 3:18 your TV screen showed a NO SIGNAL screen. I have had the same problem with trying this method where my footage will record for a certain amount of time and then switch to that NO SIGNAL screen, effectively ruining the smooth recording process. I was wondering if you found a way to overcome this, and if so I'd like to know how to fix it. Thanks!
I just record put mp4s on a usb drive and plug it in my xbox 360, bc the 360 has the right output to record onto a vcr, its pretty simple if u just have that stuff laying around
I bought a ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 (Second Generation) and it's extremely simple... your captures go straight to an SD card. Like $150
I almost forgive you with a director of the movie where the guide jams a pencil into his arm because there's something constantly keeping him awake. That's gonna kill him if he goes to sleep I really enjoyed that movie man.
My all time favorite movie is Patriots Day, which came out in 2016, I’m gonna try to follow what you did and attempt to convert it to VHS. I’ll update my comment once I’m done with it or have any luck!
I personally think it would be cool if you did do a documentary then convert the digital video onto the VHS being I know sometimes those documentaries are usually a hour or two long
@@ryangodoy It just helps give the effect more and in return you get to keep your product in a physical tape too if you want to make it more of an irl ARG like the game 'Inscryption'
Grats on the short, thank for the tutorial, and I hope those 48k people who watched this also absorbed the *other* valuable lesson besides the intended one - So much extra work just so you can spend 2x as much and still have a shittier laptop. If you want your computer to do literally anything useful easily, just buy a PC. The only thing Apple products are good for is the mild chuckle that comes with people trying to say "dongle" with a straight face.
Since you did it on a TV/VCR combo, couldnt you just use an HDMI to AV cable and just hook it uo that way? Or do you absolutely need that converter adapter?
Been attempting this for a found footage horror project. I’ve managed to record my computer screen however when I play it back there’s no audio on the VHS, any advice anyone? Thanks!
Great video could you make a second one straight to the point no figuring it out kinda like a howcast video steps and possibly record the whole movie make it an actual movie to watch you have inspired me to start making a wall off new movies on VHS tapes that's awesome never been done
This is awesome. I'm trying to do the same for a project of my own. I didn't have much luck though. For some reason, my VCR input is not getting the signal from my Mac to display a picture. I may have to try a different VCR.
Do you have the Elgato CamLink? OR some kind of capture device? If not you may need to jump through a couple more hoops. I have done it in the past but I don't remember exactly how.
What dimensions did you stretch your movie to so that it would adjust to the CRT correctly? I posting this comments 3 years after you released this video so I'm not expecting you to remember the exact dimensions lol
Hello! So I know this is like a year old, but maybe someone will come a long and answer my question. So I have been trying to do this for a couple weeks now and have had mostly success except in one are. I am only recording in black in white. Now before I go further let me explain that I am using a Sony SLV-N55 VCR with a Sceptre TV screen. I have also tried both the NTSC and PAL settings on my adapter and nothing seems to be working. For a while I was able to get some color off of NTSC, but when I tried to record 2 hour long thing the color cut out after about 15min of recording. Should I try a new VCR? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Edit: OH I also forgot. The color is coming through fine on the screen itself. Its only when I try to record that the tape just doesn't do color.
@@camcoolguys YES... well... kind of. So I did figure it out and I can now fully record things from HDMI onto VHS in color. How I did is kinda dumb though. I found someone online who said that they just kept buying and returning adapters until they got one that finally worked. So, I tried that and on my third attempt I was able to find one that I have recorded 3 full length movies with (ssshhhhh... I think thats technically pirating even though its just onto a VHS tape). While the method is annoying it did eventually work. Hope this helps.

Hey man! Loved this video! I tried to use the website provide to get a copy of the VHS scanned movie but it didn’t work! Could you send me the link? I really like that footage!
the output is likely content protected with HDCP. and these devices will have that forced on all the time no matter what. even if whatever you are playing from is not copy protected.

Fun when you have everything you need! Not as fun when you have to go hunt down parts on the internet. At least for me haha thanks for watching
You know the LP mode for VCRs? I do something similar for dvds so i can fit 8.5 hours of SD video in the form of DVD-VIDEO in a 4.5 GB dvd! No joke!

Done!
Awesome as always, I’ve been wanting to do this as well.. on DVD too, 2000’s dude here😂
AWSOME VIDEO. Just one thing. Could you make a tutorial demonstrating how you printed the CASE. And what material is it made of?

Thank you so much! The other tutorial I watched didn't give a fix for the aspect ratio problem but this really worked!
Hi-Fi VHS is on par with CD for sound quality. You can even get rudimentary surround sound on VHS with Dolby Pro-Logic which is pretty effective.
You don't need the hdmi2av also for the VHS-Digital conversion, a simple USB based video grabber will also do, there is very little if any quality loss, but i guess use it if you have it haha

Best way I've found to do this is to use a ps3. Put your video file on a usb, plug it into the ps3, analog output to vcr, play your file and boom.
Using component or SCART would provide a much better quality to the VCR player, although VCRs with component input are rare SCART is quite common in the UK
These are fun to make. Time consuming but cool and fun for the nostalgia factor.
I used an hdmi adapter to hook up a chrome cast directly to my crt. Then record from there. The adapter I has does a good job of rescaling the image to 4:3 so no editing is needed via computer.

Could you record a dvd this way? Play the dvd on the ps3 and route the signal into the vcr?

Absolutely amazing what printer did you use and paper size a3 ? Was it ??
So before I try to do this, how many tapes did u go through before u got a good tape

True digital to analogue production requires good equipment, skills and high bitrate (1+Gbit/s) uncompressed video content.
Nice... I've taken some of my favorite dvds an converted them to vhs an made slip covers for them...
Theoretically, this would work for an iPad / tablet correct? To record the screen to VHS / VCR?
So grateful. Instant sub

Hope I was able resolve the issue for you!
Honestly taking a crappy VHS tape and putting a horror movie onto that would be fun.make it looks even more creepy and degraded
My starting bid is $100! I need that tape!
Ayyye lets go! haha thanks
what happened at/what was the fix for 5:05 bc I'm having this problem
Didn't that VCR at 10:50 have an HDMI logo? Couldn't you have used that?
the output is likely content protected with HDCP. and these devices will have that forced on all the time no matter what. even if whatever you are playing from is not copy protected.
VHS HiFi is digital audio so that could explain it ... but it looks like you're using mono which is typically analog lofi ... idk
