Re: Capturing from VHS/DVD recorder player

While John has given good links to help capturing directly into MM if you
are going to have to purchase any item to do it I would recommend finding
one that I use extensively. It comes with a capture program that works with
it flawlessly and also comes with Ulead's Video Studio 9SE which is just as
powerful as MM and will also burn DVDs. It comes from ADS Tech and is
called DVD Xpress DX2.
http://www.adstech.com/products/USBAV-709-EF/intro/USBAV-709_intro.asp?pid=USBAV-709-EF
Costs about $70-80 and will capture anything that can be played on your
standalone DVD or VCR machine. It will connect to the DVD part using Svideo
if available or through standard RCA cables from the device (VCR & DVD) to
the player and USB from the device to the computer.

Newegg sells them www.newegg.com & search for DVD Xpress DX2 or click here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815255011&Tpk=DVD%2bXpress%2bDX2
and on my search they had the best combined price with shipping.

I purchased one of mine from Sam's Club and the other from Wal-Mart but
haven't seen them there for some time.

I have no financial interest in ADS Tech or any company selling the product
but I do own two of them which are fixed permanently to two of my DVD/VCR
players that I plug in one of my laptops to do the capture or conversions.

I have a combination VHS/DVD recorder/player. How can I capture video from
that combination player to Windows MovieMaker?
