  • Your Video must have Video RCA cable(with red/white and yello outputs which u connect it to TV(.if u dont have buy around $3.5 from ebay

    You will need good capture card which will go to your PC, like pinnacle or dazzle

    Software is included with the card.So start making your DVDs.Need more help? feel free to email me

  • specific. Get a RCA to USB adapter. There are diverse utility classes which you could use to allow you to work out and record those old VHS tapes. And doing this on a working laptop or computer will definitely be plenty extra effective than attempting to get considered one of those VHS/DVD gamers to burn the video.

  • U must have capture card to take video in

    Please Note :Answer below by RON is wrong as Sony never made VHS.c camera.Please don't misguide people with half knowledge.(just for two points.)

  • what kind of cable, if it has firewire you can look for a firewire-usb cables

    but if you don't check if you have a VIVO (video in video out) graphic card, it should have a video in and out jack.

    and of course a video editing program that could capture your video, such as Pinnacle, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere

  • Sounds like you got a VHS-C tape, well you need an VHS-C adapter, and a video converter box...how about your compuer, does it have any capturing capabilities? if not, you will need to install a card
