Software

I do have a VCR; however, I never have it hooked up because…why would I?

The solution here: convert my VHS tapes into H.264/MP3 mp4-contained files.

Now the question is: how?

Hardware ¶

I managed to grab an EasyCap D60 Recording device from Amazon.

This device is supported inside the linux kernel (from version 3.18 forward…maybe?)

Once I plugged in this device, it was working:

I checked out:

And I noticed a new video device video1. Easy.

Capture Software ¶

I used VLC to caputre raw input.

  1. MediaOpen Caputre Device
  2. Video Device Name/dev/video1
  3. Audio Device Namehw:2,0
  4. Play pulldown menu → Convert
  5. Dump Raw Input
  6. Destination File/home/tyler/Videos
  7. Start
  8. Hit play on the VCR
  9. Hit the Rec. button in VLC

The auto-named avi file in ~/Videos was FUCKING HUGE.

Conversion ¶

Video Capture Software Vhs To Mp4 Driver

I found a blog where a person does this. I have a vauge memory about doing this at UpSync, so I'll give it a shot: 2-pass mp4 conversion.

Let's see what happens!
