Tip 1: How to rewrite the video cassette to disk
Despite the fact that the fashion for video cassettes is alreadyVHS cassettes have been preserved for many people, the useful life of which is very low. And this means that all data will be lost one day. To prevent this from happening, you need to rewrite the contents of the cassette to a digital medium.
You will need
- - VCR and cassette;
- - TV tuner and the software, provided for it, necessary for work;
- - DVD disc or HD disc.
Instructions
1
Prepare the equipment for work. To do this, turn on the VCR, insert the cassette and connect it with the "audio-video" cords to the TV tuner. Press the play button on the tape recorder to see if the signal arrives correctly. Make a trial recording. Pay attention to the synchrony of audio and video, which can be affected by improper settings. Install the program that was bundled with the TV tuner. It will be needed in order to produce a video capture and slightly edit the resulting file.
2
Begin the process of rewriting. Start the source cassette. After that, activate the TV tuner and press the record button from the VHS source. On the monitor in the tuner window you can see the contents of the recorded cassette. Find the tuner control panel and in the settings, select the file format that should be obtained as a result of overwriting. It should be borne in mind that modern DVD players are mostly not so selective in the formats being played. Therefore, by and large, the choice of the format of the final file is of no fundamental importance.

After all the settings have been made,write down the path to save the file on the computer. Start recording. Note that once the recording starts, the file resolution has changed to the format of the video file you selected in the settings. It should also be emphasized that there is no point in trying to rebuild all parameters of rewriting yourself. Preset program values, calculated for minimal intervention by the user, justify themselves in 90% of cases.
Tip 2: How to determine the checksum
When downloading a file from the Internet,there is a suspicion of its integrity, origin or correctness of data transmission. In this regard, in order to protect your computer from damaged programs or viruses, it is worth checking the downloaded documents for the size of the checksum.
Instructions
1
Contact the official developer sitedownloaded program. Currently, there are many resources that provide free data for downloading applications, but there is a risk that the document contains a virus or does not work correctly. To verify its compliance, you need to find the SHA1 hash type on the official website in the software information. Rewrite this number or copy it into a text document.
2
Download the HashTab application forchecksum determination. Find this program can be on many specialized sites. To be sure of the downloaded file, it's best to use the official source at http://hashtab.ru/. Please note that this software application exists in two versions: for Windows and for Mac OS. Check the downloaded document with the antivirus software.
3
Read the ReadMe document and go to the HashTab utility installation. After the installation process is complete, it is desirable to restart the computer.
4
Click on the file for which you want to define the control amount, right mouse button. Open the "Properties" section. If you installed HashTab correctly, then in the appeared window there will be a tab "Hash-sums of files". If you have a Mac OS, after you right-click on the file, go to the File Hashes section and click the More button in the window that appears. If these tabs are missing, then the installation of HashTab was not performed correctly.
5
Wait until the process of calculating the checksum is over. Copy the resulting result or copy it to a separate sheet. Compare the control amount with a SHA1 hash value for thisfile. If the amounts match, you can safely install the application. Otherwise, reload the document or use a different source.
