Creator 2009 SE vs VHS to DVD

[dabluguy1]

I am new to this forum, though not new to Roxio. I go back to ECDC and all its faults. I finally uninstalled it and moved over to NERO which continues to rule the house since 1994, albeit long in the tooth.

 

I purchased Creator 2009 SE and never got around installing it, but I intend to do so shortly to xfer my VHS family pix to DVD. Though before I do that, please share with me the operating differences between it and the newer software they're promoting " VHS to DVD".

In reading a few postings, posters advise against installing both sets of software due to conflicts. Understood, however which is more proficient at accomplishing its task????

 

I have a traditional Nvidea card Gforce 7600GT card installed.

 

Will I require any specialized card to transfer the video from my player to the hard drive?

 

Am I to assume the speed of the recording process is in real time (Glacial speed)? Most of my family videos are at least 2hrs long.

 

Any recommendations to insure a simple process with adequate visual results?

 

Thanks in advance for your help

When you write of a "capture Device" are you talking about that "dongle" with a USB plug on one side and a combination of SVHS & Analog video plus a female RCA female audio jacks? I have one which came with the Creator 2009 package. I forgot where I purchased it.

 

So Am I to assume the VHS to DVD software represents just a small portion of the complete Creator 2009 bundle? I gather that is why you cannot have both products occupying the same machine as they will conflict?

 

I also am considering moving over to NERO"S version of their latest software as I have always ended up with quality results when using the NERO 6 version.

You have all that is required, if you have problems get back on here.

 

PS

 

Just in case, Creator 2009 is not compatible with Win 7.

To convert VHS to digital you need some sort of hardware "capture" device. VHS2DVD comes with such a device. I believe the C2009 SE version sold only thru Sams and a copuple of other stores has such a device also. C2009 (and the newest version 2010) do much more then what VHStoDVD which is basically just video oriented. VHS2DVd is a subset of the C2009 or C2010 programs. The data transfer from VHS is in real time, this is true of all video capture software.
