This is so true. I've been collecting VHS tapes since 1996, and I will never part from them for anything under the sun, my TV recordings especially. I value that stuff more than anything else in the VHS section. About 8 months ago, I bought a recordable DVD player, and I spent 3 weeks transferring all the worthwhile TV content to DVD. Probably the smartest thing I've done this year.
I grew up with some S1 and S3 tapes and had around 20 i think. Sadly i made the mistake of taking them all to a charity shop once i'd bought the Seres1-11 boxset. Even more tragically is the first four tapes that made me a fan were unceremoniously thrown in a nearby bin cos they had long lost their covers. I regret it to this day...
Thanks for making this video! I always grew up with DVDs and never got the chance to use a VHS Tape but I finally got my first one a few months ago so this helps!
Back in the early 2010s, I used to capture VHS tapes to my computer via a Roxio VHS-to-DVD converter. But I mostly used it for MP4 conversions rather than DVD burning. I even upgraded to an AverMedia USB HD DVR to record cable TV via component, then an Elgato HD capture card (similar to AverMedia's offering, but mainly for Mac). I still used those to capture VHS footage, though. Today, when I digitize old VHS tapes, I hook a VCR via composite or S-video to a RetroTINK 5X upscaler. Expensive, yes, but worth it, as the upscaler never drops the picture when in triple-buffer mode, regardless of the tape's quality. Then I hook the upscaler to a portable capture card that instantly records the footage to an SD card, via HDMI. And there's no audio sync dropouts, either. Guess it depends on the capture card. And I record them at 60 frames per second. Plus, to save storage, I convert the video with Handbrake.
We should ask Mattel and other companies to make new sister companies to restore and overhaul LOTS of things from the 20th century (including vhs tapes, books, items, and more; especially the 1980s and 1990z), the 2000s, and the 2010s: toys, merchandise, archival, tv footage, vhs tapes, albums, games, and many other things
I feel like you can help me with a recording problem. So I need to get VHS-C footage onto my computer (Mac), but the person who owns the VHS-Cs said that when you place them in an adapter, it ruins the footage. Is this true/is there another way to get the footage onto the Mac Also, is there a way to clean the footage before putting on the computer? Like is there a way to remove the staticy lines that can pop up? Thank you very much
Another way to fix this audio issue in obs is by delaying both the video output and audio output by 2 seconds. Once done it will not de-sync. As the software is no longer put on pressure. Do this with everything. Camera, capture cards, mics, everything with a 2 second delay. This will help both recordings and livestreams hugely. Dont ever not delay your footage. Thats how how audio desyncs. For video its (filters, audio/video filters, then add video delay (async) and make it 200ms. For audio Select the devices audio in the audio mixer and go into advanced audio properties. Then set the sync offset to 200ms. You are now good to go without any audio desyncing issues. Both will now sync up at the same time. Have fun.
Also, not all the Thomas products on both eBay and also Amazon are expensive I've seen some Thomas products at a cheap price on those sites. Lastly, I heard some people don't like Kaikki either because they have never heard of it, or because they tried buying stuff from Kaikki and there were some shipping issues (like their product never got delivered on time or never got delivered at all). Why do you recommend Kaikki even though people have never heard of it and there are shipping issues (also I recommend you all use Paypal when buying stuff on any online websites because Paypal guarantees your money back but Mastercard and Visa don't)?
How do I do this exact process with pirating the software (since that is illegal)? Did you basically teach us how to watch our old VHS tapes without pirating software? Or were you just saying that people can make their VHS tapes and DVDs upscale by doing the process you just showed us??
Good question. When I say 'don't pirate things,' I mean 'Don't take what I told you and use it to profit and/or circumvent supporting the official product.'
@@PlayDontPause oh cool thanks. Now, you're teaching us this process even though we can upscale any VHS tapes in the world correct? It doesn't just have to be Thomas ones?? You were just showing us Thomas because you just absolutely LOVE Thomas much like I do?
I have an Elgato Video Converter that arguably performs better than Black Magic. The interface is much easier. I have many old family memories saved forever as well as my Great-Grandfather's railroad VHS tapes. It is a bit pricey, being $80-$90, but it is worth it.
I don't HATE Elgato, and if you like it, more power to you...I just prefer something that plugs RIGHT into the computer itself, and doesn't go through a USB port.
Yeah, I work and make videos off of my 2014 MacBook Pro with 16 gigabytes of RAM. Since it has USB ports, it is a lot easier to work with. But that’s just my experience.

ahhh this brings back the memories from 2005 - 09

One like = one respect.
I can sympathize, dude. I've lost a good few VHS tapes over the years. It's like the proverb says, "You never know what you have until it's gone."
1:20 now we know how to upscale the footage from Tugs.
Thanks for making this video! I always grew up with DVDs and never got the chance to use a VHS Tape but I finally got my first one a few months ago so this helps!
How old are you man? I'm 23 and I used to have some awesome Thomas VHS tapes for sure!

1:35 - This was me before I discovered programms that download videos from youtube

I'm not actually too sure I can help. I'd need to see what the setup looks like, and the end product.
Vhs tapes are very important to me, too, man

That is a good idea. The only problem is that OBS isn't 100% with how much delay there is, if any.
With that Zenith player you just told me what country you live in without even saying lmao

Very good video, nicely made. Small point: it's VCR, not "VHS player". Easy mistake to make
Great video you showed do a video on victor tanzigs videos of story’s from sodor
Nice
This is needlessly complicated for no reason, buy yourself a DVD recorder and set it to XP mode. It'll get the best results.
