WIn TV Go

[paulbidwell]

Is a Win TV Go ca[pture card OK for capturing VHS to VCD?

Ideal.

And a great price.

Recording of a Video:
Use the AV in on the WinTV card from the Video and connect the Sound from the Video to your sound card.

I've had the WinTv Go for about a month and have just got things set up how I want them now.

I'm converting a lot of my Red Dwarf episodes (which were recorded in long play) at the minute and I'm happy with the results.

Drop me a line if you buy the WinTV Go and I'll try and give you some tips to save on some time.

Cheers

Tone.

Thanks for the advice!

Also, what programs do you use to capture?

I do not have alot of disk space and looking to capture 2 hour films somtimes from VHS but I ony have 20gb free, this doesn't seem to be enough using Virtual Dub!

Use Pic Video Mjpeg codec
Also, for VHS capture, set 352 X 576 pal or 352 X 480 NTSC costum capture format

If you use VDUb and the PicVideo Codec at a quality setting of about 18 then 20 gig should be plenty. And the quality of the Avi at 18 seems fine to me.

Then use TMPgenc to convert to Mpeg and VCDEasy to make the VCD.
