Did you grow up with a video recorder? Have you lots of video tapes that you filmed with your video recorder?
Most of my second son’s first year was recorded onto video tape and so when I was given the opportunity to convert Video to DVD (via my laptop) by Magix I was absolutely thrilled.
BUT not ONLY that but they also have very generously offered one of the readers of Pinkoddy’s Blog a FREE copy too!!!
The kit comes with all phono and scart connecters – all you need is your video recorder and computer/laptop (plus the video)
It can handle s-video input – but it does not come with a s-video lead
First put the cd in and select Video easy Rescue Your Videotapes 6
I pressed next and OK on all the prompts (accepting defaults) to get it to install
Once the install has finished select the USB video converter option from the main CD menu to install the drivers for the USB stick.
Once everything is installed run MAGIX Video easy Rescue Your Videotapes 6 by double clicking the icon on your desktop.
You have to register to get all the features like mpeg-2 format (which is dvd standard)
After entering the registration details I got a white screen, and had to start the programme again so I could continue.
When the program successfully loads you are prompted whether you want to work with existing media files or capture from an analog source, such as VCR (this is the option I chose)
I used the standard yellow, white and red (composite connectors), and press continue and then
You are then presented with the a window which allows you to see what you are recording, so press play on the VCR and then click on Transfer Video to Computer
Once the video has been captured you get an editor where you can play the video and add effects etc…
The process to capture it all was quiet easy.
When it worked it was easy and great
The editor has an audio edit especially good to get rid of those embarrassing moments!
Cut bits out.
Make it like an old movie, black and white.
Zoom in and out.
You can add music, pictures, text!
So many ways you can edit!
You can also record from your webcam and then edit.
