Page 1 of NTSC VHS to disc

Hi

My old Mico Espejo R311 has packed up on me. I need to find out if there is any other DVD recorder that can burn NTSC tapes to disc.

I mean a recorder where you don't have to mess around with PAL 60 signals or disc setup menus. The Mico is the only recorder I know of that once the scarts are in, it'll treat NTSC tapes as any other.

I ask because I have a large amount of NTSC titles I'd like to preserve on disc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Not sure if your PC has the ability to burn DVDs, but if you still have a working VHS player then there are cheap USB devices to convert them.

Thanks Robert, but which devices do you mean?

Obviously, I`d need to connect the VCR to my PC somehow as well, but how could I go about doing this? My PC can burn DVDs as well.

I`m a newcomer to all this, so please excuse my ignorance.

Also, would a capture device not record PAL only, and what programs would I need to capture NTSC and then burn to DVD or a hard disk?

If you have a PC, or laptop..


Pinnacle Dazzle

..Will get the footage in. This would mean that your VHS player would have to output NTSC though.


Then I use tmpgenc plus
To encode the video to PAL or NTSC complaint DVD files, then use An older version of this

To make and Burn the disc. EDIT! Look as if the second poduct there does it all now!

Would I need a video capture card, or will the graphics card I have (which plays Youtube clips and other movie clips very well) within the PC be OK? A simple USB connection is all that`s needed between my VCR and Pinnacle?
