This may need to be shifted or merged.
I got this new capture gizmo to try and transfer a longish VHS tape to HD to DVD.
By longish, I mean about 4 hours. (think I taped in LP speed, though could of been EP)
In 1989, Voyager flew by Neptune and my local station aired Neptune All Night, which I taped.
Started the process yesterday. While it worked I mowed the lawn, edited an srt, tossed rocks at buzzards.
Anyway, after two hours I checked and - HOLY MOLY! - my drive was almost full at 200 GB!
Stopped the process, dragged the file into mkvmerge and noted the audio was PCM.
Crikey!
Is this common with VHS? I was going to convert to mp3 then mux, then decided to ask this crew.
I'm starting to wonder if my vintage laptop is powerful enough for this task.
Suggestions? Advice?
