Thankyou. It's my 50th birthday present to myself.
Throw a fucking great party somewhere exotic* and invite 30 of my favourite bands to play.
*well OK then, Kentucky.

It's quite simple but can be expensive.
If you don't have a video card that supports VIVO ( video in video out ) then you need a separate box and software or a TV capture card. ( card is the cheapest method ). Trouble is you need a high end processor to do it at any kind of decent speed plus you end up with Huge files ( approx 1gb per 30 mins ) and that means you then have to convert them to a compressed format like MPEG 2 for them to be usable for uploading.
The simplest way is beg, borrow or buy a DVD recorder. Plug the VHS into it via RCA cables or Scart. Press play on the VCR and record on the DVD and go away. Result is a DVD containing .VOB files of your movie. Copy these to PC and rename to .mpg ( vob files are Mpeg2 files ) and you have your movie on the PC. This can then easily split further or joined to one file for uploading to a host.
If you have a vivo card ten your manual will tell you how to connect an external source through the S-video port.

There could be a macrovision
issue with the DVD VCR method so it might be worth considering a sub $50 TV card and plugging the RF out from the VCR into the card tuner and using the card software just tuning in to the signal and recording it. Plus you have a basic PVR set up afterwards allowing you to record any TV signal you choose to send to it.
