Irrespective of whether you like it or not, it is high time to change. There are lots of professional services in the market today which would do it for you. In this article I am going to describe two simple ways through which you can do it by yourself and save your old VHS memories to the new DVD way.<\/p>\n<p>Recording with a DVD Recorder is the most convenient thing to do as it does not even require a computer to do this job. DVD recorders have the capability to record form almost anything. They can even record your cable TV. They offer a lot of advantages like not needing a PC to do all the conversion. They come at a hefty price of about 210$. Some DVD recorders have too may functions confusing the user to the core.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/Images\/V\/VHS-DVD-Convert.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/Images\/V\/VHS-DVD-Convert.jpg?resize=231%2C256\" alt=\"VHS to DVD Conversion\" width=\"231\" height=\"256\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, let me tell you how to convert VHS Recoding to DVD step by step<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1. Connect your VHS video source to the DVD recorder. Always use the S-video cable, if you don\u2019t have one, go out and buy one from your nearby electronic store. Consult your recorder\u2019s manual if any doubts arise.<\/li>\n<li>2. Use a standard DVD disc. Initially use a blank DVD-RW disk so that after 5 to minutes of recording, you can check the quality and then make the necessary changes to improve your video quality.<\/li>\n<li>3. First check the preview. Do this by setting up your recorder. Press record and pause.<\/li>\n<li>4. You need to align the VHS tape to the beginning and check the DVD Recorder&#8217;s input. This is a vital step for correct recording. If you don\u2019t set this right, you will end up with inferior low quality recording. Just ensure that you follow these steps to the optimum.<\/li>\n<li>5. Start the recording feature in the DVD Recorder and simultaneously start playing the VHS source. There is nothing wrong in having a blank recording on DVD for the initial \u2013 10 seconds. Synchronize both of them properly or you may have a recording with 5-10 seconds of beginning scenes missing. Take some extra care at this time.<\/li>\n<li>6. You do know that DVD has a bigger storage capability than your conventional VHS. So after a period of time pause your recorder and insert your next part or the next tape. Do not move away while recording or you may end up with many minutes of static recording on your DVD. Or set up a timer to remind you on when to change your tapes.<\/li>\n<li>7. Once your recording is over, it is not like VHS. You just simply cannot rewind and play it. You need to finalize. Before starting this process read your manual again and follow the rules. You can create chapters and all you need is to find the right spot on your recording and press a single button. Creating such chapters would help you to understand what you recorded in a better way. Different recordings would show as different titles. Once you complete the management of the content, the recorder would take care of the next few steps and you are done with all the conversion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The only constant thing in the world I change. VHS may become extinct in less than 2 years. None is using it. If you want your next generation to look into the tapes you loved, it is better to convert them right away. There may be some problems while converting. It is definitely worth going that extra step to save a lot of headaches in the future. You need to make a lot of trial and error runs, to get it right. Once you set it right, converting is indeed a breeze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VHS format has become obsolete in today\u2019s world.
