I can't believe the 1990s was 60 years ago tbh

This is dope!! Most definitely gotta try this out. Thanks!!!

Everything worked when I was recording my hi8 video but I was able to pick up me breathing on the Mac book mic how do I remove that

It truly is the easiest method as I think most people are already familiar with OBS. Thank you so much.

perfect video. this is exactly everything i needed to know. you relayed this in the most efficient manner possible i believe. thank you.

Thank you so much for this video and your channel! I just got a JVC VHS cam for 7 euros on a market and it is complete and taken care of so I am super happy. Which cable would you suggest for a Mac? I would love to still have the best quality as possible (I know it's VHS haha) Thank you x

i recomend setting the resolution to 960x720 and streching it so its 4:3 also if you want a smooth capture set it to 59.94 (for ntsc) or 50fps (for pal) and setting the deinterlace to either retro or yadif 2x

Works great but audio recorder through my Mac instead of through my vhs camera. How could I change this?

does anyone footage keep stopping while recording? Any solutions please??

Kyler I can’t hear audio with mine I only have a video and a black audio cord but the only thing my computer gets is the video but no sound

i dont reccomend the elgato capture card as there are weird rainbowy effects when the video is unstable which can happen a lot when recording on a camcorder

I noticed you have both the "Audio Input USB" and "Video Capture USB" sound both on at around the 8:30 mark in your vid. I digitized my first vid yesterday using OBS and I got dual unsynced audio on the recording. I then repeated the process with the video capture audio line muted and it turned out great. Wonder why you didn't have this issue with both turned on??? Also, I went through my settings following Tim Ford's channel's recommendations, and holy cow, he had me making all kinds of settings changes. Now I wonder if they were even necessary since you didn't do hardly any of them. Check it out and see what you think.

idk if you will still reply but i did all the steps and when i plugged in the wire there was no output, like my footage was playing but my mac wasnt playing anything, please help!!

goat

me watching after buying the elagto video capture😑

This is super useful! I've gotten confused with similar videos, but this is much easier to tackle. I appreciate you ❤

Hi! Thanks for the video! there are parts of the video that are not colored when being recorded, it becomes black and white but the video being played in video cam is colored and in high quality. The quality of the sound is not too good also. Is it because of the cables or the quality really changes when being recorded?

The screen remains black for me, any way to fix this?

I have a Panasonic digital palmcorder model PV-L780D and I am trying to figure out how to connect it to a digital converter, as it only has a phone and a/v out jack, both of which do not fit the digital converter that I have, which is an Easier CAP converter. The converter has a yellow, white and red connections, but none of them fit the ports in the palmcorder. Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated.

What if the blue screen doesn’t pop up?

Just got a camcorder, got all the required supplies. Does this still work?

imagine having vhs camera in 2021 I- you’re so lucky!! Plus your videos are awesome as always!

I’m looking on eBay for a vhs cam recorder and it dosent come with a display cable

It doesn’t seem to read to my capture card any recs on what to do? it shows up as USB 2.0 but never shows the footage. could it be a bad cable?

what camera do you have??

Thankyou for demonstration.

Ideal settings for pal recording to not have black bars at the side? I know pal is 25fps but not sure what the base canvas and output scale should be?

YOU ARE MY HERO. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH OMG.

This is literally THE BEST video out there, I’m so grateful! THANK YOU!

THANK YOUUU!!! this was so helpful!!

If the camcorder has an S-video output, isn't that the way to go instead of RCA components?

I have many recordings from me as a baby on VHS. Thank you for this video - I might be able to save a copy of them 🖤 all the best to you.

Thanks !!! What are the file sizes you got for 1 hour of recording ?

nga

thank you !

thanksss bro It helped a lot

thanks

Muchas gracias!!! Me ayudaste mucho. saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

I don't have a VHS camera 😒

iMemories couldn’t get all of my footage from my VHS onto the dvd. Idk why🤔

It's pronounced digitize.

I download the latest OBS from the official site to MacBook Pro M1 chip. I use RCA connector to USB C cable. When I create the source, it has Integrated Webcam option only. I try to reinstall it and got the same answer. Why it is not identify other source type when connect. Ie, Sony CamRecoder.

Im having a problem, After im done recorda and play my video it buffers non stop, Any recomendations?

The image pops up briefly and the. Turns black.. how come? It’s driving me fuckin crazy omf 😭😭😭

great video. you kind of talk like a text to speech software lol. anyways great video simple and easy.

I have the digitize cord alternative and when I connect my camcorder to my MacBook and record the clip the sounds should static and chopped do you know why that is ? Should I download obs and that will fix the issue ?

I have a problem , it comes out glitchy isit because of my wire capture? I bought a cheap ass one

When I downloaded obs on my MacBook it says it’s doesn’t support obs what do I di

hi can i ask if it NEED to use your specific video capture or i can use a cheaper one or different brands ?

Thanks for the help brother keep it up 🎬

I have a vhs c tape adapter and a vhs player. Would this set up work for that?

Does this program allow me to cut and edit and put together multiple tapes to kinda make a movie or montage of different videos ?

i try doing this with my canon gl2 with my av to rca cable and all i see is static

Thanks for this video. Other than the Elgato what capture device do you recommend.

The downside to this method is that if your camcorder doesn't have a way to playback without the time stamp and screen info then the time stamp and screen settings info is going to show up on your capture. With my JVC there is no way to take the time stamp off when playing from the camcorder so I end up with that on my video capture. If anyone has any other methods around this please do share. Or if you know a brand of camcorder that takes vhs-c with playback settings that allow you to turn off that info please share

#Kyler if I have a vhs with composite output and i get a composite to hdmi adaptor, will the translation of the original vhs tape be better when digitizing?

I am sorry. It is hard to understand for the background music. Zero music in a classroom please.

Hi ! Thank you for this (very clear) video ! I don't think I have he cable you talked about to connect the battery charger directly to the camera. What is its name, so I can try and find a new one ? Also I have a Chromebook laptop, so is OBS studio compatible with it or do you have an idea of a similar software I can download ?

Great video Kyler. What if I don't have a vhs video camera?.. all I have is a vhs/dvd vcr and my vhs videos 😔

hi i tried to do this but after a few seconds the screen just goes black and it doesn’t show anything from the screen

I never thought you can do that.

Thank you.

Works with macbook?

If my camera doesn't work, can I still transfer footage to the computer? Because when I open the camera I get a gray screen with black stripes. Can you please help me with some information?

does every VHS camera have video and audio ports?

The proper word is "digitize" and NOT "digitalize."

Thank you so much for this very informative video! It has helped us save all our old home videos! 😁

I like the idea of filming on tapes
