Re: Capturing from VHS/DVD recorder player

I use a Matrox G450eTV card to capture from VCR or analogue camcorder.
Works very well with the supplied software and captures direct to MPEG2.
It's obsolete now but can still be found on Ebay.

John and LVT,

Thanks to both of you for all of that good information and all of those
links. You were very helpful.

The DVD Express DX2 sounds good to me. I had an ADS USB Instant VideoMPX
device that I used to capture video from an old Super8 anlog camcorder
and
from a VHS/DVD combination player. That Video MPX stopped working and is
now
apparently a discontinued item. I could not find a suggested substitute
for
it on the ADS web site. So I am trying to learn what to do now that I do
not
have the have the Video MPX. DVD Express DX2 appears to be the answer and
I
certainly appreciate that. Thank you.

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.

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?
