Almost everyone has at our home many dusty shelves with older analogue tapes having video footage from old movies, our kids birthday parties, wedding ceremonies etc . Many people eventually decide to convert all these old videos in newer digital formats. The reasons are obvious digitized video can be stored permanently to discs (CDs, or DVDs) which are more durable and reliable than old magnetic tapes, and take up much less space and are easier to use. Also, video in digital format can be edited and get enriched with extra effects.
To begin with lets see what is needed to have in terms of software and hardware to convert your older analogue videos to new digital format videos. Digitization can be done via video input on a video card of a computer, if available, but this should not be done for one reason – the quality is below average. To get a good result, it is necessary to acquire a specialized video device or even better you can bring you analog video tape to a professional photo studio for transferring the video to your PC.
