How To Convert VHS into VCD

[wareseeker]

Could anyone help me? I am trying to find out how I can convert all my value video tapes into vcd format so I can watch them on my computer. I don't know what to do, what I have to buy in order to connect my VCR into my PC, and what software I have to use. In fact I don't know anything.

Thank you very much in advance,

Hi wareseeker,

Welcome to PC Mechanic !!

That's a very tall question !! Since there are numerious Web sites dedicated to that very question, obviously to answer it in one post is not possible.

In a very simplistic overview, you need:

1) a way to capture the video into the comuter -- there are numerious ways to do this.

2) you need to edit this raw footage -- again, there are many ways to do this.

3) you need to output your edited version -- numerious ways (sound familiar??)

4) and, depending how you save your work -- you need the hardware / software to view the finished product.

Here is just one of many places to look at:
