Hi,
I finally have been able to get my camcorder connected to my PC and have been making my VHS video tapes into PC movies.
Ultimately, I wish to put mu super-8 movies onto the PC also.
Anyway, here is a link to a C&TS triple header working up Cumbres from Chama in 1995.

I hope you enjoy the movie.

Doug.

Hi Tom,
I have a 4GHz P4 with an ATI 9800 video card in my PC. I purchased the purple input cable for the card and plugged it into my VHS camcorder. I used Windows Movie Maker to capture the output signal from the camcorder and convert it to a PC file.
As I am still learning, I am sure there are many ways to do what I've done that are better. Since I am not sure that details on this is valid for RyPN, Contact me back channel at jennycat at mindspring dot com and we can talk more on the details.
If more want to discuss this and the moderators of RyPN think it is useful to the group as a whole, I'll be glad to post what I know here or maybe even start a Yahoo group to discuss this topic.
