Dusty Videotapes to Digital Videos

#235 | 18:33 |

Lab Rats


Monday August 16, 2010
If you have a stack of old videotapes gathering dust in the basement, pay attention: eventually, videotapes degrade to the point of unplayability, which means all your precious videotaped memories may disappear into eternity. In this episode of Lab Rats, Sean and Andy show you a way to convert those old videotapes into digital video files, using analogue-to-digital capture devices. Whether you use your old VCR with a capture card, or spring for ION's USB-connected VCR2PC, there's a way to get your old memories into the digital age, and the Lab Rats show you how.
