Transfer your VHS footage to DVD

Transferring VHS footage to DVD is quick, easy, and makes memories last for generations to come. Simply plug your VCR into the HP Digital Entertainment Center or HP Media Center Photosmart PC and your chronicles will be digital in minutes—and viewable on both PCs and TVs. First we'll discuss the benefits of DVDs, what you'll need to transfer, and how to complete the process. Then we'll share ideas for DVD projects of your own.

This article outlines the procedures used with the HP Digital Entertainment Center z557 and bundled Intervideo Win/DVD Creator software. If you are using different equipment or software, please follow the instructions that are included with your equipment .

Transfering VHS to DVD
VHS tapes aren't the best choice for archiving your memories. They're easily broken, wear out, deliver fuzzy picture quality and can melt in heat. Worse, they're bulky, so they require considerable storage space. Besides having a more reliable medium for your memories, there are creative perks to transferring from VHS to DVD. You can:
  • Edit for content (cut unnecessary footage, condense or insert scenes).
  • Determine where scenes begin and end, allowing you to jump to scenes on playback.
  • Add opening and closing credits.
  • Add narration, music, and other audio effects.
  • Add titles or messages to preface scenes.
  • Add other screen text to indicate the event, date, location, names, relation, etc.
  • HP Digital Entertainment Center or PC
  • VCR or analog camcorder (a different procedure is required for digital video formats)
  • Composite video/audio cable
  • Blank DVD media
Hope this helps Donner
