Analogue VHS to avi

[furrybean]

As the title says. Any idea how to do it? I'm looking for a video for my gf's father of the "Happy Prince" by Oscar Wilde but can only find it on VHS...

He aint got VHS so wanting to convert it if possible? Any ideas?

you can get a kit off ebay for about 50 quid, converts video to avi in real time, makes big files mind...

Bugger, seems a bit pricey for a one off!

What graphics card have you got?

As long as you have a card where you can get the signal in, there is plenty of software out there that will record it for you ... prolly d/l a trial version or freeware with little hassle...

Windows media Encoder is ok, (loads others though) but you do need a vid/sound in. Other than that you could use a DVD recorder.
You could also ask this guy here (http://wantitnow.ebay.co.uk/The-Happy-Prince-animation-on-DVD-Europe-or-VHS_W0QQadidZ180052315953) for a copy, or put you in touch with the guy he's contacted (read the Questions from other members). :wink:

Know anyone with a DVD recorder? I got one with a HD and converted all my home videos to DVD's by loading onto HD, editing and burning a DVD. If you're stuck give me a shout via PM. You can send it to me and I'll convert it.

Alternatively I have a mate in Buxton, which ain't far from you. You can drop it with him if it's convenient.
