How do i convert Video tapes to DVD

**Dhruv** · 02-02-2009

Hello everyone,

I would like to know is there any way of converting Video 8 tapes to DVDs? I want to convert all my videos tapes to DVD format. Is there any particular software or a program which can help me to do so? Please let me know your views on this? Any kind of information would be appreciated.

Thank you.

You can try Moyea Leawo video converter, to convert to DVD.

Also you can edit the files, to better quality.

And you can set the start and end time, that's to say, you can set the target file's duration time, as you like.

Beside, to crop the pictures is available.

And batch convert is realized, so that you need not to convert one by one.

Hope you will have good time using it.

It can be done if you have the following one:-

(a) An "old" camcorder which can play your Video 8 / Hi 8 tapes/ VHS tapes.

(b) A digital camcorder which can accept as input the analogue output from the "old" camcorder and produce digital output ("DV Out"). If you do have such equipment, the digital camcorder might either create a digital version of the footage (e.g. a mini DV tape) or it might be able to "pass through" so you can store the digital version straight to a PC or a DVD recorder.

If you put it onto a PC, you can then (optionally) edit it it and then burn a DVD.
