Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:08,509 --> 00:00:12,750
you probably have
2
00:00:10,589 --> 00:00:14,759
two of old VHS tapes gathering
3
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:15,960
dust in your closet this how-to I'm
4
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:18,570
going to show you how to archive those
5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,339
videos onto your computer here's what
6
00:00:18,570 --> 00:00:22,740
you'll need you'll need a VCR with an
7
00:00:20,339 --> 00:00:24,629
audio and video output on the back video
8
00:00:22,739 --> 00:00:26,368
is that yellow connection for audio
9
00:00:24,629 --> 00:00:28,679
you'll see either a white connector for
10
00:00:26,368 --> 00:00:30,809
mono or white and red for stereo a lot
11
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,070
of Cheaper VCRs only have mono but if
12
00:00:30,809 --> 00:00:34,109
we're talking about home movies here it
13
00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:35,520
really shouldn't be a big deal speaking
14
00:00:34,109 --> 00:00:37,469
of which you'll need a VHS tape to
15
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,940
record from and let me be clear that
16
00:00:37,469 --> 00:00:41,160
we're talking about transferring home
17
00:00:38,939 --> 00:00:43,468
videos and not copyrighted content like
18
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,209
movies or TV shows it's against the law
19
00:00:43,469 --> 00:00:47,399
and it really doesn't make any sense
20
00:00:45,210 --> 00:00:48,929
you can probably pick up the DVD use for
21
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:51,329
a few bucks at this point so don't break
22
00:00:48,929 --> 00:00:52,859
the law or waste your time you also need
23
00:00:51,329 --> 00:00:54,509
a computer it doesn't matter if it's a
24
00:00:52,859 --> 00:00:56,549
Mac or PC just make sure you have some
25
00:00:54,509 --> 00:00:58,679
room on your hard drive an our video
26
00:00:56,549 --> 00:01:00,689
takes up about 750 megabytes of storage
27
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:02,250
if you want to grab an external hard
28
00:01:00,689 --> 00:01:04,378
drive to offload this stuff it might be
29
00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:05,519
a good idea finally the most critical
30
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:07,020
component that you're going to need is
31
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:09,719
an adapter that will connect between
32
00:01:07,019 --> 00:01:11,938
your computer and the VCR this one here
33
00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:14,039
is the elgato video capture runs about
34
00:01:11,938 --> 00:01:16,379
$80 and I chose it because it's both Mac
35
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,630
and PC compatible you just connect these
36
00:01:16,379 --> 00:01:19,949
bits right here to your VCR and you
37
00:01:18,629 --> 00:01:22,228
connect the other end to your computer
38
00:01:19,950 --> 00:01:22,560
install the software and you're ready to
39
00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:24,150
go
40
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,579
the software will walk you through the
41
00:01:24,150 --> 00:01:28,170
process you can name the file you'll
42
00:01:26,579 --> 00:01:30,328
make sure you're connected seeing a
43
00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:31,829
picture and hearing audio and when
44
00:01:30,328 --> 00:01:33,688
you're all set you hit the big red
45
00:01:31,828 --> 00:01:36,209
button start recording then hit play
46
00:01:33,688 --> 00:01:37,949
on your VCR you're now recording in real
47
00:01:36,209 --> 00:01:39,868
time so if you've got an hour long dance
48
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:41,400
recital or your garage bands first gig
49
00:01:39,868 --> 00:01:43,438
you'll have to wade through the whole
50
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,149
thing to play through when you're all
51
00:01:43,438 --> 00:01:46,679
done hit the same button to stop
52
00:01:45,149 --> 00:01:48,478
recording and you'll get a chance to
53
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,000
trim off any of the unwanted parts from
54
00:01:48,478 --> 00:01:52,379
the beginning or the end on the last
55
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,060
step you'll see a file path to the
56
00:01:52,379 --> 00:01:55,798
location of the file you just created
57
00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:57,509
along with some extra options for
58
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,399
watching uploading or further editing
59
00:01:57,509 --> 00:02:00,540
that video chances are you're going to
60
00:01:59,399 --> 00:02:02,820
be going through a bunch of these back
61
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:04,350
to back so hit the again button to start
62
00:02:02,819 --> 00:02:06,419
the process all over with a new tape
63
00:02:04,349 --> 00:02:08,219
that's really all there is to it if
64
00:02:06,420 --> 00:02:09,959
you're feeling fancy you can burn these
65
00:02:08,219 --> 00:02:11,848
files to a DVD or load them onto your
66
00:02:09,959 --> 00:02:13,620
iPad but the main point is that you've
67
00:02:11,848 --> 00:02:15,119
rescued these home movies from a dead
68
00:02:13,620 --> 00:02:21,090
format so that a whole new generation
69
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:22,560
can be tortured with them check out my
