QUICK, ANYBODY!
I need a quick answer to this question...how do you get a video tape transfered onto a DVD or uploaded into a file? Is there a Kinko's for that?
Thanks,
Meg

There is some kind of lettering/ a poster or ad overlaid right at the top of your blog where the beginning of your latest blog is- at least when I open it! So I can't read it or get under there to see it until it's been moved to next spot down. Something about a video to DVD?
I don't know what the problem is but a friend of mine emailed me that she was having trouble getting to the blog as well. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't see anything, it looks normal to me...as normal as it can look anyway.

The blog wouldn't load for me for the past 2 days either, although, it loaded fine this morning. I have no idea why.
OK new rules...if this stupid blog is in any way messed up (not counting my ranting) you must email me. I had no clue you guys were having so much trouble. If there are any more problems with it, I will try to fix it.
Thanks,

The very quickest way if you don't have the equipment is to look for a photo or computer store that does the service. But that quick way may be costly, unless you're talking about a couple of tapes.
If you had a lot of tapes, there are devices to do this. Dazzle, Pinnacle, ADS are vendors that produce video capture devices. These can be PCI or USB attached.
You connect a VCR to the video capture device that's connected to the computer. Software bundled with the device will convert the analog VCR to an MPEG file on your PC. Using DVD authoring software (a superset of CD/DVD burning that can build the directory structure, convert to VOB files, etc) it will then burn a DVD.
There are a number of DVD formats (+R or -R) that you can burn to, if the intended DVD player is old, you should test it in the player.
If you have a DVR, you can connect the VCR to it and burn a DVD, but no editing and limited menu building.
If you have a DV recorder you can connect the VCR to it and make a digital copy, then connect the DV recorder to the PC by firewire.
The VCR is connected to the appropriate equipment via RCA composite cables (R,W,Y).
Hope that helps...
