News to me, maybe its old news (VHS>COMP Content)
« on: December 19, 2004, 11:44:35 PM »
I tried a few years ago to get Star Wars on to a DVD via VCR>Computer, bad quailty just sucked.  However I just learned this trick the other day.  Run VCR>Digital Video Cam>Firewire>Compuer.  Perfect quality.  Don't know if it helps anyone, but helped me.  I got 12/31/95 on VHS maybe its time to upload that onto a DVD

But the IMPORTANT QUESTION would be - WHY would you want to put Star Wars from a VideoCassette onto a DVD, when DVD's of all the Star Wars are available (with 5.1DD audio, which the VC doesn't have)?  Just buy the DVD's or rent & rip them...

He said he originally tried to transfer star wars, which wasnt available on DVD till this year. I think hes going to transfer a show next 12/31/95 which is probably not on DVD.

DUH on me... :P

That's what I get for posting before my coffee...

I've got an ATI Radeon 8500 DV that's got composite & SuperVideo in & Out, and I transfer from my Sony VCR with SuperVideo.  About as good as you're going to get, though this doesn't defeat MacroVision, which CAN be defeated by running it through a format changer (like you're doing with your camcorder), as that retimes/resynchs the video to the secondary standard, and removes the copyprotection...

Rick, I don't think the originals were ever released on DVD without being altered from their theatrical release.

I have a transfer from the Laserdiscs on DVD, unaltered by the man himself Darth Lucas.

My Sony's mini plug is both an inny & an outie.  Sort of a hermaphrodaite I suppose...
