Can anybody help me?

 

I've got a video cassette that I want to get onto the PC in digital format - how do I go about this??

 

I think it means converting it to AVI format, but how do I go about connecting it to my PC, and converting the files?

 

I just cannot think how you begin to go about this - I don't think 20th century video cassette will fit into the CD ROM drive ;)

 

Thanks

several ways really depending on what quality and what u want to pay, cheapest reasonable quality is to get a tv tuner card, most come with software that allows u to record , or if u have video with video out and audio rca's usually yellow video red/white for audio, u can get a usb capature device like dazzle 80 or similar, pop down to your local pcworld for a look then buy on line for cheapness, if u want super quality u can get some good pinicle analog captutre cards about 150-200 quid, these offer real time mpeg encoding etc.

I have a spare dazzle 80 setup, you can have for £40.00

full software and hardware capture devise, i have since moved to Firewire. You can plug pretty much anything inot it.

software will convert it to whatever format file you wish.

Thanks guys, I've found the Dazzle website - things are becoming a little less hazy now.
