Tip 1: How to record from a VCR to a disc
Just a few years ago, analogVCRs were in great shape. On large cassettes of the VHS standard, there are quite a few records left. Films, concerts, memorable moments of family life is not a complete list of what I would like to keep the owners of once popular equipment. They can be digitized and recorded in disk.

Instructions
1
Since you are dealing with an analog recording, you need to make a video capture. Connect the VCR to the video capture card. The most common way out VCR connects to the input of the card, and the audio output to the audio input of the sound card. It is desirable to adjust the levels immediately.
2
Connect the recorder. With the program capture software attached to the card, determine in which system the recording was made. This can be PAL or NTSC. They differ from each other in both the aspect ratio and the number of frames per second, as well as the color rendering method. Digitize in the system in which the tape was recorded. Install the appropriate parameters in the capture card utilities.
3
Open the UleadVideoStudio program. In it, also display data about the system. Set the codec to digitize. If there is a lot of hard disk space, and the recording is not very long - select the DV codec. It will give the best quality. However, it is possible that the recordings will have to be compressed for playback. Therefore, you can immediately produce a video capture in the format mp1 or mp2. Select the option "Record with sound". Turn on the VCR for playback. Digitization has gone.

On the hard disk, you should get the file in thethe format you specify, with the extension avi or mp. Decide on which device you will play it. It can be a computer, a standard or universal DVD player. For a standard player, record a disc according to the VCD or DVD standard. Both can be created in the UleadVideoStudio program and recorded in it. If you want to view the recording on a computer or a universal video player, you can convert the file to avi format.

Please note that the recording quality on the VCRquite low, but some codec packages allow it to be slightly improved. So, for example, the DivX5 codec allows you to increase the resolution twice. Before using, you need to check whether your tape recorder will accept this codec.
