Hi All

I would like to copy my Video’s to DVD i have a Graphics card with a 7 pin in/ out so this can be connected with a scart lead to the VCR.

Do you know of any software i can use to do this ?

Opensuse 11 Kde4

Thanks All

I did see some kind of usb adaptor for this recently in a magazine. But I chucked it. Too time consuming for me. I dumped all my vcr’s.
Copy protection could be an issue - which we can’t advise on anyway.

It might be possible to use software to screen rip the vcr’s output.

But I see this may be more of - what hardware you need really.

Well… can’t comment on your 7 pin in/out… not sure. I know that
often times the in/out is NOT supported.

I’m in the process right now of converting my VHS tapes.

I’m using a Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2 device (not made anymore).
That device works well with Linux. Output is straight
mpeg2 (the format a DVD wants anyhow). I used a KDE dvd
creator package (can’t remember the name right now) to create
the DVD images and burn them with K3b. Works fine.

I’m using openSUSE 11 with KDE 3.

Hi Omnisent Penguin,Explorer Penguin.

I did think that there are so many Video tapes about a software program might be available to do this.

The Graphics card is a gainward Geforce 8600GT with a 7 pin Video / TV in/out connector so i can connect Video player to computer.
I will have a look around for a device that should come with some software for Linux and try that as well,the hardware should not be a problem as its a new ish build.

Thanks both

If your video card will capture the output stream you should be able to record it with mythtv - I guess.

so google results:

To capture on your computer, you’ll need either a video card that can take a VCR’s video and audio as input, or a video tuner card that can tune to the TV channel that the VCR broadcasts on. Another nice alternative is a VCR or camcorder that can output on a firewire connection, and then capture to a firewire card in your PC.
