Subject: [gentoo-user] [OT]  Transferring old video tapes to disk
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2012 16:00:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <jfi7vr$8hc$1@dough.gmane.org> (raw)

Hi multi-media gentooers, I know you're out there :)

A friend just gave me a 15-year-old VCR, and it still works!

That's good news because I have some 25-year-old video tapes that
I haven't been able to play since my old VCR broke 15 years ago.

Now's my chance to save the tapes to a newer format. (Until the
new format becomes obsolete in another year or two.)

Transferring the audio is easy even for old non-multi-media me,
but how to get the video off the tape and into the computer?  Do
I need a new video card with special stuff?  Or what?

Thanks for any clues.
