I wanted to see if it was possible to convert a digital video into VHS and then back again. I got my hands on some old-school equipment that would allow me to do just that, but what happened when I put this idea into action?

A nice project! VHS is actually NOT as bad as digital filters on smart phones make it seem. My recent short SciFi Horror film was shot entirely on actual VHS using my camcorder from 1986. I highly recommend shooting straight to VHS. Less cables required and It's a great challenge lol.

The way i normally convert from digital to analog is I take my video file, throw it in itunes, convert it to work on ipod, throw it on my ipod, connect my ipod to a dock with video out, connect the video out to my vcr, of course i cant get audio through because an ipod dock already has a speaker and no analog audio out so i just record the speaker audio through a microphone connected through a dac that coverts it to analog rca, which is now not really in sync but its fine its the easiest way to do it...

Ok so SOMEONE PLEASE answer me this: I’ve tried multiple converters, tapes, VCRs, TVs, and AV cables. I can get my computer’s screen/video to record onto a tape via a VCR, but there’s never ANY sound on the recording. However, the sound comes through the TV’s speakers when I’m playing the video on my laptop. So sound must be transmitting through my HDMI port. It just will NOT record sound onto a tape. If I insert a pre-recorded tape into the VCR, it plays everything fine. Video and sound are both there. It’s just whatever I TRY TO RECORD. Someone PLEASE help me fix this!

I was wondering if you found a way to overcome this, and if so I'd like to know how to fix it. Thanks!

Hello! So I know this is like a year old, but maybe someone will come a long and answer my question. So I have been trying to do this for a couple weeks now and have had mostly success except in one are. I am only recording in black in white. Now before I go further let me explain that I am using a Sony SLV-N55 VCR with a Sceptre TV screen. I have also tried both the NTSC and PAL settings on my adapter and nothing seems to be working. For a while I was able to get some color off of NTSC, but when I tried to record 2 hour long thing the color cut out after about 15min of recording. Should I try a new VCR? Or does anyone have any other suggestions? Edit: OH I also forgot. The color is coming through fine on the screen itself. Its only when I try to record that the tape just doesn't do color.
