VHS to Hard Drive transfer

ford fiesta

Hi..can anyone give me advice on how to set up my laptop (hard drive) to transfer/save my old VHS tapes, using my video recorder ?

You need a video 'digitizer' it converts the analogue VHS into digital and sends it on to your pc which records it via the software.
I bought a Hauppauge USB Live 2, which has been gathering dust since I recorded the two videos I wanted.

I'll sell you mine for a reasonable price if you are interested (and if it's ok for me to offer it here)?

Need something like this

If your budget allows, and you don't have dozens of tapes, there are companies that will do it for you (used to be a someone in Dublin that did it)

I'm after getting a easier cap capture.
Never stated that you need a extra cable to fix the vcr. Anyhow what format should I record at from vcr to laptop?
