There are several analog capture devices $80 that connect to the computer via USB. Not sure which is the best one to use now days. I have a sony firewire box. Most of them come with capture software, or you can use iMovie. I think Elgato makes one thats pretty much plug and play on a Mac. You cable the video/audio output of your tape player to the capture device and plug it into the mac. Set your Mac software to capture and hit play on your VHS player.

Vhs To Digital Conversion For Mac

Let it run to the end of the show/tape and stop recording, repeat. I encoded about 80 VHS tapes using the ElGato video recorder adapter which gives you a usb on one end and female ports for component and s-video on the other, which then plug into your VCR. It's dead simple.

The software requires you to press like one button to record. The quality is.passable, if there's no other alternative. However, unless you use a very old tv or monitor, the resolution of VHS, even with a professional 1:1 transfer, is just not up to the standards of what we're visually used to at this point. There is software, specifically from Red Giant, which claims to be able to up-res SD footage, but I can't vouch for it.

If you want a DVD that can play in a DVD player, you need a DVD authoring program to create a DVD image out of your video files and then burn it to a DVD. I dunno whats currently available, I use the old DVDSP app on an old computer.

I think current versions of iMovie can share videos out to simple DVDs So using iMovie as an example, you would open iMovie and import the video you want on the DVD. Create a project and add the video, then share/export the video to DVD. You can drag and drop video files onto DVD media as files, which can be viewed by another computer, but typically not a DVD player.
