    Trying to use Diamond VC500 to convert VHS tapes to digital


    Hi there just purchased a new HP laptop with Windows 10. My real reason is to capture old footage and create digital memories for my family. I purchased the VC500 and installed the relevant software PowerDirector 12 and EZgrabber. I have not managed to get the software to recognise the sources either the video camera recorder or VHS player or TV. Power Director tries to detect the device and then just fails, goes into the windows not responding and EZgrabber does the same thing. Having spoken to the provider they said it could be a corrupt windows file as it is happening in both pieces of software


    Any guidance would be helpful as I have been trying to figure out for a few days

    :)

  2. How can I play a VHS tape and digitize it for storage on a Win10 PC?

    Hi Russ,

    There is a way to convert VHS tapes copy to digitized version, we recommend contacting your VHS tape player manufacturer to ask for a device that will connect the player to the computer. You may also need a software to record and save it to the computer.

    Let us know if you have other questions.

    Trying to use Diamond VC500 to convert VHS tapes to digital

    How can I play a VHS tape and digitize it for storage on a Win10 PC?

    Yes, it's very possible and you should definitely do it because those VHS tapes don't age well.

    VHS tapes are analog technology and computers are digital. So the first thing you need to do is to convert the images on the tape to a digital format. The technical term for this is 'capturing' the video. You'll need to buy a capture device to convert the
    video and audio to digital. An example of this is the
    Dazzle DVD Recorder
    .

    You'll also have to decide what digital format you will use to capture the video and audio.

    Capturing video is a processor-intensive activity, so you'll need a fairly powerful computer to do it. Many recent computers should have what it takes.

    Once you've got the video and audio in digital format you can edit it, if you wish. You'll need video editing software for that, like

    Pinnacle Studio
    .

    A few years back I used older versions of both the above products to capture my own VHS tapes. You absolutely can do this but there will be a learning curve, and you'll want to get a good quality capture device.
