The VHS/DVD unit still works but I'm guessing it won't be for much longer

and I'd like to try converting some DVD flicks like "Roadside Prophets" (imagine Easy Rider meets Black Flag and The Beastie Boys with some very unique cameos like Timothy Leary as an old farmer in a pickup truck).

The problem with most of the old VHS/DVD recorders is how they encoded the DVDs they burn.

BTW for the OP- grab a freeware install of CCleaner. Its a very handy program for cleaning out junk files and old or damaged registry entries. You don't need to run it every day or even every month but it does a great job.

VLC media player is really good but can be a bit confusing to use some of the functions and I use it to play video most of the time.

MakeMKV is great for burning video to HDD but that is illegal so I've "never" done it.

Hi

I save some game video using Geforce experience, problem is the files are huge. I use Handbrake to transcode them into a shareable size, it is open source and very well made. https://handbrake.fr/
Try it out it is quick and the results are pretty good too.

Regards

Hi mate download and try Handbrake it is very comprehensive and will even pull the files of a mounted dvd.

Cheers

I'm going to throw out there Autodesk Fusion 360. It just keeps getting better and now has a full PCB design module. I think you can still use it for free as a student/hobbyist but otherwise it's a $60.00 a month subsrciption. And best yet the company is about a half mile away from my house.
