Now that you’ve put your VCR in mothballs, you realize that the closet full of VHS tapes (or Betamax, if you bet on the wrong horse) contains valuable memories you would like to see again. Perhaps you want to relive your wedding, or post the video of you and your friends lip-synching “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” from the 7th grade talent show on YouTube. But you can’t be bothered integrating antiquated technology into your home theater setup, not to mention handling and storing those bulky VHS tapes.

  2. I looked at the specs for the JVC GR-D347US you suggested as a bridge between VCR and computer and did not see anything that suggests it has pass through technology or a video input capability.  ????  Thanks, John

  3. Sony’s DVDirect is a much better solution if you don’t need to edit the content.

  4. Having a tech discussion of manipulating video is great.  Necessary information for posting, etc.  When I wanted tape conversion, and recording programs direct to DVD, I bought a Toshiba VHS/DVD recorder/player.  Not only can I record directly to DVD (or tape - but who would want to?), but I can transfer a tape to DVD with one button and walk away or watch another program on TV while it is transferred in real time.  KISS works best for me!
