I made this tutorial for my fans who were asking for a guide on how to convert their old childhood tapes and here it is! You don't need any expensive software, you only need old hardware that still works and a converter that is readable by your computer.
In this guide, I will help you understand the fundamentals on converting old tapes. Do let me know if you need any help and I will answer them in the comments section below.

While the sound may only be in mono you can get an audio splitter to send it to both sides. I do this on my NES to my Crt. It makes the sound come out of both sides even though the nes has only one audio jack. It would not be true stereo but during playback, if watching with headphones you would hear the audio in both ears.

Find yourself a Sony Digital8 cam that outputs through the DV port via FireWire, those old Sony camcorder takes old analog tapes and converts it to digital and even has a time base corrector to deal with distortions and jittering. The cheap $10 dongle and Elegato tend to suffer from jittering/distorted images probably since they don't have a built in TBC. I didn't realize how crappy the Elegato capture was until I used the Digital8. Also for post processing use QTGMC deinterlace and your home videos will look amazing in digital playback.

Hi! Good tutorial man! I'm getting an issue that hopefully you can solve. OBS is recording fine, however, audio is quite too low and noisy. If I increment the dBs, obviously the noise is powered. Do you have any idea what it could be? Cables, VHS reproducer? Inherent to the recordings? When I record Hi8 with my camera that noise is pretty low in comparison with the VHS :( Do you apply any processing to the audio signal when recording?

Once you convert a VHS cassette to digital there can be lots of dead tape space that got converted. Those segments of converted video can be hard to find and not needed. PyVHS is a Python package that removes those unused tape spaces. PyPi and GitHub is where PyVHS is located. Say you converted a lot of videos and do not want to manually edit them then they can automatically be removed while you do something else.

On my Sony TV which has 3 phono typical socket: yellow for composite video and both red and white sockets, for audio. Now it does matter which socket you use for audio as if you put a mono phono (often black on older cameras) in the red phono socket you just get audio from the right channel (and while mono it still sounds odd as in unbalanced and TV needs to be made louder as only one side speaker working) but if you put a mono audio signal in the white (left) phono socket on the TV you will get audio from both speakers all be it in mono but it will sound far better and louder then just an unbalanced mono from one speaker on one side of the TV.

Also recommend getting gold plated RCA cables as this apparently will help contain the buzzing sounds. Should be about £10. Also my RCA cables had the wrong colours on them and this caused more noise so check if the video is actually coming through the yellow video wire. The additional noise came when my video RCA wire was plugged into an audio RCA output.

My video is displaying on OBS and I’m using the microphone usb 2.0 but when I record my video playback has no audio - just a loud buzzing. The video is work fine, and I can hear the audio through my handycam during playback. What do I do!!!

First I would get myself a gold plated cable if you can, if not try a different cable. You can also check the audio record level on OBS? Is there any audio shown on the oBS audio bar?

Hi Raphael, Great tutorial, my problem is I am not getting the blue screen showing in obs. I am using a Sony Handycam recorder and an easyCap device. Any suggestions. Thanks in anticipation

Are you using a laptop with dual graphics cards? If you are you have to set the system to only use one. If it is not, it can be that OBS is not recognizing your input

Hey thanks for the tutorial! But every time I try to record the audio comes out very loud and noisy and the video has these green lines that flash on and off the screen. Do you think this is an issue with the RCA cable or USB converter quality?

@imraphraph Жыл бұрын

It could be the cable, or the USB converter. As for the audio you can set the recording level for the audio to be lower so it does not peak. Have you tried the gold plated cables, it makes quite a difference.

My camera uses a single jack for audio/video, so I purchased an RCA adapter to 3.5mm jack. Do you think this lowers the quality? I will purchase a higher quality gold-plated RCA cable. Thanks for the response.

@@tylerarmele3148 I don’t think the audio is degraded but that’s just my take I have not tried this combination before. Let me know how it goes!

@tylerarmele3148 Жыл бұрын

The higher quality gold plated cables worked and I changed the dB for the audio through OBS and it worked great! Thanks for the response and video

Hello! When I am capturing vhs footage straight from my camcorder whether it be on OBS or QuickTime Video Player the audio keeps on skipping and there is an annoying glitchy static sound that comes through. I use one of those Video DVR Capture tools yet I only use the white and yellow ports because those are the only ports that my camcorder has. It does not have the red port for the right audio channel i believe. Could you help me please?

@imraphraph 2 жыл бұрын

It does not matter because that means that the audio only has one port out. Just connect the yellow to yellow and the white to white. It will still send the signal over.

Thanks for video. The recording part is jumping on computer but tape in camera is not. Do I have a wrong setting?

Are you using a laptop? Normally integrated graphics can cause it to skip like in the case of my macbook air.

If you are still online, I am having a problem with my old beta machine. I have it connected with an rca video and one audio. I have elgado and ucec. When I connect it to my laptop it does not work. I cannot play the beta tape or record it to my laptop. I have done a bunch withmy vhs maching but it is not working with the beta. Does that mean my beta machine is no longer working. I cannot fix it.

can you find a way to do the transfer with a camera that only has a mini usb port. this will help alot thanks.

@imraphraph 5 ай бұрын

The method should be the same, in which if you can get the mini USB to USB and plug it into the computer, it should read as a recording device on your capture program. But then again I have not personally used a video camera that only has a USB port for video out.
