Digitising 1
« on: March 26, 2009, 02:42:28 PM »
I decided to try hooking up my cam-corder to a pc again. Used to have Pinnacle card and breakout box in an old pc, but latest pc does not seem to like the hardware setup.
Decided to try one of the USB connectors. After some fiddling it decided to work, so now I can transfer some home vids plus some assorted VHS tapes that I would like to get onto DVD.

I took out a load of what I thought were empty tape boxes. They were not empty. Lots of numbered VHS tapes but I have no idea what's on them, probably Xmas shows or summat.
