Here's the info--

10:00 PM Eastern
Channel 107 SPEED Channel Friday, 9
Porsche Rennsport Reunion, 60 mins.
From Daytona Beach. Host: Bob Varsha.

I'll try to tape it-
Does anyone have a DVD burner AND a TV video card on a PC??



BTW- It will be re-aired at 1PM Eastern on Saturday On Speed.

 

I'll watch it! Thanks!


(Although I DETEST Bob Varsha from the year or two that he commentated on the Tour de France. Too bad they didn't find a better host).

 

I have a DVD burner. What would I need to get in order to copy VHS to DVD?


Tifo-I love the Mr. Mom quote. One of my favorite movies!

 

Dunno, but when we figure it out, I'd love to copy my "No Mans Land" and Dan's "Porsche Commercials" videos I have onto DVD as well.

 

Can anybody post it to a server to veiw here?

 

Both DVD burning and Hosting would require some sort of a VideoIN or a TV Tuner card in order to capture raw video inside a PC.
Oh, and permission from the source to do such a thing. (Copywright infringement is nothing to mess with)

UNLESS you have a standalone DVD player/burner in your entertainment system and cable...

YMMV.

 

My friends 1995 993 was Miss. 1995 for the 911 dsiplay. It is Riviera Blue with the plate saying JellyBean. Just a little heads up of interest. Best wishes - Jay Gratton

 

.... pickup a video card with vivo capabilities.. or go with a nice tuner card, i'd have one but im too lazy to run cable all the way upstairs to my room :-\

 

Will that work to copy VHS tapes to a DVD? That's what I wanna figure out how to do.

 

ahhhhh.
another great program to miss due to the crappy dish...................

 

Exactly. We'll discuss tomorrow during "coffee talk" buddy.

 

OK who can burn dvd? Dvds are pretty cheap.AND would be willing to copy and mail it to thier rennlist friends!Charge for shipping and dvd cost,that should avoid any copy right infringment issues.

 

what do you need to copy VHS tapes to a dvd?
here's a list:
1. vcr
2. vhs tape containing stuff to be copied
3. DV bridge (converts analog video and audio out from vcr into digital video and audio)
4. computer with firewire input (also known as IEEE1394, ilink, etc.) and dvd burner
5. software for recording and editing footage from VHS (on macs you can use iMovie and iDVD)

I used this set up to make my own star wars dvds, and to get stuff off of my tivo without deleting it.
So, in my case, I've got a powerbook (which has a dvd-r drive in it, and has firewire inputs) and a Dazzle DV bridge (more info here ). you plug the audio and video outs from the vcr into the input of the dv bridge. then you connect the firewire cable from the bridge to the computer. Since i'm on a mac, I then use iMovie to capture the footage from the vcr. you can also use iMovie to edit out comercials, add titles, etc. then, iMovie sends the footage to iDVD, which burns a DVD that can be played in regular dvd players.
if you've already got the computer, it's a very cheap thing to do. the dazzle dv bridge only costs about $125 or so. If you're on a pc you'd need to buy the video editing and dvd burning software, too, i guess. my PC's are for game-playing only, so i'm not an expert on video editing software for that platform at all.

 

i'd be willing to make copies and send 'em out. it would probably end up costing about $6 a copy including shipping if i did it.

 

also, bob varsha is SUCH a weenie. he's so bad, he actually makes me miss rick debrule on speed channel's F1 broadcasts. never thought i'd say THAT!!
