Site Supporter White on Tyne Posted February 20, 2015 Site Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2015 I bought a kit for doing it from Maplins. About £30 for wires and instructions. I gave up after managing to transfer about half an hour's worth because it was too complicated and a total ball-ache. I'm going to take my tapes in somewhere and get them to do it onto a DVD. I reckon they're valuable enough to me to pay someone to do a good job rather than me end up with a load of random files to try to knot together. Good luck if you venture to have a go yourself.

Moderators Carlos Posted February 20, 2015 Moderators Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's a piece of piss, SCART lead into a DVD recorder. The sort that was all the rage about 10 years ago. Once it's on DVD you can rip it to file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Peacock Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I used one of these As White On Tyne says, bit of a ball ache to set up, but once it's set up it works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonNorin Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Digitize the video first the old school way but it requires a lot of equipment to do so. Drew Peacock's suggestion is the only way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
