If you have a camera with the recorded video or some home VHS tapes, you can capture the video using AVS Video Recorder first and then convert and burn it onto a DVD with the help of AVS Video Converter. Step 1. Launch AVS Video Recorder and select video format. Make sure you work with the Capture tab. By default output video format is set to Recommended (MPEG-2), since your final goal is to have your video in DVD format, that suits fine although there is no reason why you should not select Native or MPEG-2 (with some other presets):
Connect your camera/VHS recorder/player to the computer using a video capture device: * If you use an external video capture board supplied with RCA and S-Video jacks, the best way to link the devices is to connect the camera/VHS recorder/player S-Video output with the video capture board S-Video input using the corresponding cable so to relay a video signal. To relay an audio signal use an RCA cable, connecting your camera/VHS recorder/player RCA output with the video capture device RCA input but employing white and red jacks only. And then use a USB cable to connect the external video capture board to the computer USB port. * If your computer system is supplied with an IEEE 1394 port then you can connect your DV-camera IEEE 1394 port marked as DV In-Out with the computer IEEE 1394 port using the corresponding cable (you can also connect VHS recorder/player to the DV camera). Actions relating to connecting devices should be done when they are off. For all the details concerning the possible ways of connecting devices, please, refer either to the User Manuals bundled with them or manufacturer support team. Step 2. Choose an output folder, where the captured video should be saved to. Click "Browse" button from the Output path section:
Choose a directory to place the captured video in and name the file:
Click Save. Step 3. Switch to the "Settings" tab. Select the Video Device Input from the drop-down list -- either the Composite option in case your VHS player is connected to the capture device using an RCA input or the S-Video option if you preferred an S-Video jack:
Step 4. Switch your camera/recorder/player on, check whether a cassette/disc is inserted into its compartment. If you use a DV camera as a capture device, then enable the AV to DV feature (refer to User manual for details). Switch it to playback mode. Click "Start capture" (you can stop it by pressing the "Stop Capture").
Step 5. After having finished capture click the "Convert" icon in the Preview screen:
AVS Video Converter will be launched with the video you have just captured as an input file. Next, follow this tutorial: Click here to read how to burn your video to DVD .
