In today's digital age, it's important to keep and protect our memories. Many of us have old video tapes that we've kept for years, but as technology moves forward, it's getting harder to find devices that can play them. That is why digitizing old video tapes is so important.
By digitizing old video tapes, we can keep our memories safe and make sure they will be accessible for years to come. Digitized videos can be easily stored on a computer or other digital device, which makes it easy to share them with friends and family. They can also be quickly backed up to protect against loss or damage.
In addition to preserving memories, digitizing old video tapes can help to improve their quality. Over time, video tapes can wear down and get damaged, which makes the picture and sound quality worse. Digitizing these tapes can help make the video look and sound as good as possible.
Overall, digitizing old video tapes is an important way to keep our memories safe and make sure that they will be available to people in the future. If you want to digitize old video tapes, try Nero Recode Stick and Nero Video right now!
Before you Start
Before we can start digitizing our audio, we need to make sure we have everything we need.
1. One laptop or desktop PC *1
2. Nero Recode Stick*1
3. Converter from SCART to S-VIDEO *1
4. A VCR player*1
5. VHS tapes *1
Step 1
Check that your computer's USB port is connected to the Nero Recode Stick.
Step 2
Connect the SCART to S-VIDEO Converter to your VCR.
Step 3
Establish a connection between the Nero Recode Stick and a video source that uses analog signals.
Step 4 & 5
