my idea i just had

[Greg12]

obvisouly the entire computer case would have to be redesigned but...


a vhs tape player sitting right on the internal bus.

it would be a tape playing unit and a/d converter that feeds the video right into the internal bus and to the processor.

would this be a good idea. it would be a vcp to reduce space and heat.

that way u wouldn't have signal degradation from traveling over cable.

...and if there's enough room it would be nice to add a turntable.

Nice dream

-Why ?

-Analog VHS (BETA) tape is an oboslete technology
-Todays fast motherboard/CPU emit EMF (electrical radiation) it would need to be shielded.
-just use a good quality gold plated cable , copy your current tapes and wait for DVD-RW

...but what about the turntable?

i'm bein serious here.

if we were to shield it and work out the cooling problem, it wouldn't be a bad idea.

think about it, you have the player, converter, encoder and storage all in one.

i think it's good cause u don't have to worry about hooking up cables n havin a vcr at ur feet
