I just purchased this device and had no problem converting my first video, along with sound, to DVD and played it on my TV. I have two VHS tapes containing old family videos.

The tapes were made from 8mm movies and jump from videos dating back 70+ years ago, to 40 years ago and back. There are bits from Xmas mixed with bits from family picnics/trips and back to the very old videos. I have captured the videos and copied to my computer for editing. Is there a tutorial for beginners out there? I am wondering if I have to save each video as a new project in order to merge edited pieces into one video. Or is it okay to just save under different, meaningful file names?

I tried Pinnacle Capture Device and had to return it because I could not get sound. But I did like it, in that I could save as.avi file on my laptop. I would like to save captures to my laptop, rather than to DVD--and with an.avi extension. Bacaan sholat.

Is anyone familiar with the Honestech device and can this be done? If not, can the DVD's be converted to files compatible with or onto CD's at a later date?

Female and 73 and wanting to learn this in my lifetime. I have been debating on just purchasing a VHS/DVD Recorder Combo, but in reading the reviews, this may be the easiest option--but the unit seems to be short lived. Thanks in advance, Lucy. You can save captures to your laptop, but if you want AVI you will need to veer away from the official software. (' Video Output: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, VCD, SVCD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, WMV') Try VirtualDub. According to a search for Linux drivers, the device uses the Philips SAA7113H for digitization and the eMPIA EM2860 for the USB connection. No hardware encoding there, so VDub should work (the list of video formats above also implies it uses software encoding).

The Honestech software can edit their own captures, so I don't see a reason to turn to. And why would you want to put videos on CDs? Who said there was no such thing as a stupid question? Here was my reasoning: I just got a refurbished laptop. It came with a DVD recorder and I love it. I have yet to get a mouse for it. So.I am back and forth with my desktop mouse until my little bother brings me in one of his extra devices.

I installed the capture device on the laptop. Most everything else is on my desktop. I don't understand Video Output, but saw the WMV note. There are lots of online tutorials for Windows movies so I thought it might be easier to convert to AVI or WMV and go that route. I am sure after reading your reply, I am definitely going to learn how to edit--using the Honestech software.
