OT: Transferring things from VHS to YouTube

[TRAGChick]

I have some things I'd like to broadcast on YT...
But, they were taped off TV. Major old school.

How do I get this to YT? Do I burn-transfer to a DVD & then work from there...?

I dunno....help....:oops:

Burn it to dvd and come in that way

There's a way to do it directly, but if you have a very high-speed connection you have to be very careful the tape doesn't get stuck and tangle up your Internet, or you'll have have to foot the bill for a tech to come out and fix it.

Most video capture devices and corresponding software will make a video directly. If you make a DVD, you'll essentially be adding in two extra steps (encode the video file to DVD, then recreate a video file from the DVD)

I use Elgato's EyeTV 250 Plus on the Mac. The built in software captures from my VHS, DVD, cable box and then transforms it into any number of video types that can be uploaded.

It's helped me transfer movies on hundreds of tapes to video file and dvd.

Check your video capture software. It should let you save the video to AVI, MPEG-4, M4V. or MOV. Any of those can be uploaded to YouTube without issue, if I remember right. If you don't have video capture software and a video capture device, you're probably going to need one.

NO PC needed and 8/10 I get a perfect disc, those other 2 times, it doesn't finalize so the DVDs are coasters.
