Tips For VHS Transfer To DVD

By Paula Barron


Many folks have utilized VHS tapes to ensure that they could capture important moments in their lives with their family and friends. As the technology has improved and changed throughout the years, many folks have chosen to move past VHS tapes but in order to keep those memories on VHS they need to do a VHS transfer to DVD.

It is really an easier process than you may realize. There are just a handful of things you are going to need on hand to get started. You will need to have some blank DVD's a Video Camera or a VHS machine, a RCA cable that includes the colors yellow, white and red and a DVD player.

Once you have determined that you have all the necessary equipment to begin your project, attach your VHS recorder or video camera to your DVD recording device. This can be done by attaching the RCA cables. Put one in the "out" port of the VHS machine or video camera and one into the "in" port of the DVD recording device.

The next thing you need to do is hook your television to your DVD machine. To do this, take you coaxial cable and hook it to the port of your DVD machine that says "out". You will do a similar step to attach it to the television however, this time you will connect the cord to the television through the "in" port. You will be looking for a connection that is similar to that of a screw on both devices.

Once you finish making sure all the lines are hooked up, turn your TV onto your tuning channel. In most cases, your tuning channel will be channel 3 but, it may be channel 4 for some TV models. You will also need to turn on your DVD recorder device and make sure it is set it to the right channel.

Next turn on the VCR or camera and pop the tape in that you want copied to DVD. When you see the movie playing back to you then you have done the steps properly. Before you begin recording your movie, take a minute to make sure that the movie is at the beginning. Also, do not forget to put one of your blank DVD's into the DVD player before hitting "record" on the machine. Once the movie has played to the end just hit the "stop" button.

There is one final step called "finalizing" that is necessary for you to be able to enjoy your new DVD movie. How you proceed to finalize your disk will depend on your DVD machine's manufacturer and will be laid out in your instruction manual. While it is a different process in nearly all machines, it is normally a very simple process.

The process from start to finish to transfer to DVD is really quite easy but you will have to have patients. It will take as long as it takes to play your movie through. The cost of undertaking a project like this generally just depends on the amount you pay for the DVD's. They can be purchased at varying costs.
