How to Convert Analog Video to Digital Video
Objective: This job aid will show you how to connect your VCR to the digital camera to prepare your VHS for digitizing.
Step one: Connect the VCR to the digital Camera
Connect "video out" on the VCR to "video in" on the digital camera. Connect "audio out" to "audio in" on the digital camera. The type and number of cords necessary will depend on the camera.
Step two: Record Video with Digital Camera
Set the digital camera to the "VCR" mode. Locate the segment of analog video that you wish to record. Press "PLAY" on the VCR and simultaneously press "RECORD." Once the segment is complete press "STOP" on the digital camera and VCR. Now the digital video can be transferred to the computer using Ulead, Premier, Real Producer, or other digital video program.
