Which software you use will vary according to what hardware you use to input/capture the video.

What do you mean? Please!

What VCR are you using? What are you using to capture the VHS to your PC?

How do you plan to get the video from the VHS tape into the computer? That is, what hardware will you be using to capture the video? Until we know what hardware you are using we can't recommend what software to use.

Well. I have a lot of videotapes from the past, and i would like to transfer them to my PC( hard drive), in to Divx files. So i am looking for a software which can do transfering the videotape movies in to Divx fil movies in my hard drive. I understand that my PC have to be connected with my VCR( world wide VCR)

Thanks!

You are missing the point: software cannot transfer the video from VHS tape to your computer. You will need hardware for that -- some kind of video capture device. What software you use depends on what capture hardware you have.

If you don't already have any video capture hardware you will have to get some. Exactly what hardware is best will depend on your needs and desires. The cost will range anywhere from $50 to $1000. If the computer specs listed under Computer Details are correct you will have a very hard time dealing with video. A set-top DVD recorder will probably be your best bet ($100 to $200). Capture with the DVD recorder then rip the DVD on the computer.

Once you have the video on the computer you will have a lot of other issues to deal with: VHS is an interlaced medium and Divx does not deal well with interlaced material, Divx also does not deal well with noisy VHS recordings.

You need a 'capture device'. It can be a capture card. Look to the left for capture card listings. Or it can be a DV camcorder with DV passthrough, or other types of external capture devices. A VCR outputs analog video. A computer needs digital video, as in a DVD or a Xvid. After you 'capture' or convert the video to digital format, then you can convert it to whatever format you want.

Look to the upper left for 'CAPTURE, CONVERT' and you will see suggested methods and guides.
