DJAngel Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Someone was talking about this a few weeks ago on this website, and I can't remember what was said, but I think a website was given to order some kind of connection.I have some old VCR tapes -- Don interviews, etc. that I would really like to dub onto DVD. Actually, I have a VCR/DVD (recordable) combo, however, I broke the tray on the DVD side (clumsy walked by it when it was open and you know the rest:) So I bought a Craid DVD player at Rite Aide to play my DVDs. etc etc etc:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lar Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 I replied to this on .org. I think you're remembering my post about this, the more I think about it the more I think it was on this site. I'll look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJAngel Posted July 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks, Lar;) This is something to think about doing, but it makes me nervous to dowload something like this application onto my computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd check Best Buy or someplace similar before downloading anything. Now, we did have to download/update with this new PC (which probably accounts for the touchiness of my editor, as I stated in the MV.org post).

DJAngel Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I bit the bullet:) and bought a new DVD/VCR combo, which will probably be the last one I ever buy. No doubt because there are not that many of them. Costco has a Panasonic for $250, so I bought it. My techy friend is coming over to set it up, soon I hope.I should be able to transfer my Don & company VHS tapes from the 80s to DVD, then transfer them on DVD to my computer, right? I have quite a lot of interviews, etc. Some stuff is already on YouTube, but I think I have more. I just watched the tape of Don on the talk show in SF the week he raced in the OPT in April 1990. It's in very good condition:glossy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need a certain type of program, though as to what I couldn't say. I'd guess you'd still need a video-capture card. But, you don't know until you try.

DJAngel Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 You mean you can transfer CDs but not DVDs:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lar Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm certain you can transfer DVDs, it's just that I've never tried it, and I'm not sure what would be needed. My set-up is VHS-to-PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
