VHS to DVD - 352x480 ?

[camphill]

Everything I've read says that the native format of VHS is 352x480 however Debut will not allow me to record in that format.

 

What is the best way to convert from VHS tape that weill end up being a playable DVD?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I use a "One Step Grabber" card. This is an analogue to digital converter. They are sold under different names but are all work the same. It has the red/yellow/white plugs that go into your VHS tape player. The other end has a USB and a mic jack plug that connects to your PC.

Its a simmple matter of

1) Loading the driver and preview program that comes with the "Grabber".

2) Running the preview program and setting up the file where you want the video to go.

3) Starting the tape player and adjusting the brightness/contrast/colour/charpness etc. as seen in the preview.

5) When output looks ok, rewinding, clicking the start button in the preview window and playing the tape.

 

Done!

 

Load the file into your film editing program.
