Hello,
I would like to convert my VHS tapes to DVD. I have all the equipment connected as well as the software. Everything is connected but when I click on capture, I get a message saying "You can start the capture by putting your camcorder or VCR on play." My VCR is in play but it doesn't change anything. I don't know where the problem could be.
Thank you for your help!

Hello, to transfer the content of an analog VHS, VHS-C, 8mm, Hi8 cassette, or an analog video stream, you need to connect the camcorder or the VCR or another device to an "external box" that handles the "hardware" conversion of the "analog stream" to "digital" and connect the box to the computer via a USB cable. The file is converted to MPEG2, a format easy to burn and compatible with all players, and allows for editing with "Studio".
You connect the box and the camcorder or VCR with a recommended S-VHS connection or composite (less good) (RCA yellow) and a cable for sound (2 RCA red, white). For the VCR, you need a SCART connection with an adapter or cable with "out" direction or with an in/out switch output S-VHS or composite RCA yellow (less good) plus sound, two RCA outputs red and white
remember to select Pal to get color
I recommend the Dazzle box, either "Recorder" DVD only or video HD, Creator, see Platinum based on your needs if you want to "arrange" your films with titles and music

the price of the advanced editing software STUDIO 14 HD (value alone 61 €) provided with this box in "Creator" and "Platinum" versions makes the product interesting
it can also be found second-hand on the web and resold when you no longer need it
there are exotic products like USB keys and 4 wires, cheaper but beware, they often lead to hassles, reading messages from desperate members on the forum
"Donkeys change their minds, not fools"
remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that's the case.
