What to do?

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

hello,

I want to put recordings I have made from my diseased parents and
sister from an analogue v8-video-tape on dvd. when I use my
dvd-recorder I get the images on dvd, can see them back on the
tv-screen, but I cann't see them on the computer. and I want to get
them on the computer to edit the recordings.
How can I make a dvd from v-videotape that can be read by the PC?

thanks

lex

Hi Lex,

I think you meant deceased, sorry to hear...but glad you have video of them
to treasure.
What you have to do is find out what format your dvd recorder is saving as,
either dvd-video or dvd-vr, or dvd+vr
Either way, if the dvd has been finalized to play on other standalones, the
files should show up on the PC, and
then if you want to edit them, you would use software like dvd decryter to
rip the files to the hard drive.
The mpg editing software that reads vob files like video redo to edit and
finally an authoring software to
make new dvd's, maybe something like Ulead dvd movie factory. Actualy that
one should be able to read, rip and edit the dvd
if it's on dvd-vr format, not sure if it rips dvd-video format, I only tried
it once.
Hope this helps.
