Sylvan Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Forum people, Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere... Is it possible with this package to capture video from my old Sony Video 8 cassettes directly to my Windows 7 computer's hard drive without recording to a DVD disc first? If so is the resulting video in .avi format? Many thx..... Sylvan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogdens Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes.......when you open the program you have 2 choices. 1 - Capture 2 - Edit,Edit, and Save - this is the option you would use. Go here http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/easy-vhs-to-dvd/standard/screenshots.html and click on the "Guided Tour Video". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It captures to the DVD standard mpg format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvan Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Thx for the quick reply, Guru. When I open the "VHS to DVD 3 Plus" program I get two choices: either "Record DVD" or "Record, Edit, Save". I clicked on the second option, started my camcorder and then clicked on the record button. The result is in MPEG format recorded on my hard drive. Apparently there is no option for .avi. Thx again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_Hardin Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 The mpeg files that are captured are 720 X 480 @ 8224 kbps... That is on the order to Twice the Quality of a VHS tape and probably at least equal to anything an SD Camcorder can do But they are compressed to some extent as 9000 kbps would be the highest quality SD comes in. Other than something someone told you or something you read somewhere, is there really any issue with the captured files??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
